Maryland Crime Research and Innovation Center
BreAna Bell-Freeman
I am a Master's student in the Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Maryland, College Park. I started my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice at Temple University, Philadelphia, then transferred to the University of Maryland in 2020. From there, I completed my degree in Criminology & Criminal Justice with a minor in Law & Society. My research interests include youth's experiences within and outside the juvenile justice system, implicit bias and discretion within law enforcement and the judicial system, the pre-carceral lives of individuals with maternal or paternal incarceration, and reintegrative programs for repeating offenders.
