Editorial in the New Mexico Politics.
Dr. George Davis, former director of the New Mexico Juvenile Justice System and CYFD talks about how children end up in the criminal system.
"Within the first five years of life, the trajectory is set for the most important skills a person will ever possess — such fundamental traits as the capacity for attachment and empathy, the ability to self-regulate and to be calmed, and the tendency to seek primary reward from contact with other humans rather than from drugs."
Check out this webinar where Dr. Davis talks more about the ACE Study on the juvenile justice population, where he discuss the link between delinquency and early adversity.
