About
My name is Elizabeth Erricolo and I am a senior at Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart. When I hear about juveniles committing violent crimes, I also think of their families, the impact on our community, and the impact on the victims. I explored these issues in depth when I participated in the Network of the Sacred Heart Summer Service Project. I also did further research when I took Social Justice in my junior year. I continued my inquiry and investigated whether other countries are doing a better job than the United States in addressing juvenile justice.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
