CBC’s The Sunday Edition covers our research on sentencing of parents

CFSC program coordinator Verena Tan had the opportunity to speak with Michael Enright on CBC’s The Sunday Edition, broadcast on April 7th. Verena shared our research on sentencing parents and how this affects children. With well over a million listeners, we hope this program will help to raise awareness about an important issue.
