While it may not be a comfortable topic, domestic violence (DV) is a lot more common than you might think, both in the United States and around the world, and services that provide safety, support, and compassion for victims are crucial. Today’s guest is Marsetta Lee, Esq, who is the President of the Association of Black Women Lawyers of New Jersey. She is an Adjunct Professor at Wilmington University, where she teaches various courses, including ethics and criminal justice, multi-cultural issues, and criminal justice, women in criminal justice system, constitutional law, and psychology and the law. Marsetta also serves as the Criminal Justice Coordinator for South Jersey. In that role, she is the liaison for the satellite offices and the main campus. She collaborates with hosting colleges to host events and conferences related to criminal justice, including career days and domestic violence symposiums. She counsels students on course selection and career choices, and provides oversight and adjunct faculty attorneys and law enforcement officers. In this episode, we cover the services offered by the Victims of Crime Compensation Office, the age-old question of why victims stay with abusers, and the impact of COVID and shelter in place regulations.
