Mr. Hasan Davis has considerable experience in all areas of youth development and has also worked as a youth violence prevention specialist and as a commissioner in the Kentucky department of juvenile justice. His personal story, as well as extensive practical experience and knowledge, offers a unique point of view on juvenile justice in the U.S.
