Hello Colleagues,
I'm looking for a graphic that depicts the relationship between ACEs and involvement in the adult criminal justice system as well as statistic on early exposure to trauma and violence and involvement in criminal activity and criminal justice system. I will be using this information as part of a CLE for public defenders. Please e-mail with any resources (powerpoint slides would be great!) at llieberman@healthfederation.org. Your help is much appreciated!

This is probably a not very intelligent reply --- Dr. Anda probably has something or can easily get something out of the state aces studies. The various states put little twists on what they each added in their questions. Anyway if you find something, let me know ... This is something I would like to have in my bag of aces info I carry around for the various audiences as I continue to educate the public and also thanks Leslie. Your nice comments to me always spur me on to continue (though I admit - it is sometimes hard to say what I say but even on aces we have to speak our truths). If I don't, how can I expect the public I am working so hard to educate to be able to. This can be pretty painful. Your encouragement helps a lot!!!!! Thanks so very much!!!
The Council of State Governments may have something through their Criminal Justice/Mental Health Consensus Project.
The American Bar Association and the American Psychological Association have partnered in an initiative which may by now have some numbers...
