Breaking Cycles, Building Solutions
Many health challenges that should be addressed through public health interventions often become entangled in the criminal justice system, perpetuating cycles of inequity. LEPH 2025 examines how social factors—including trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and socioeconomic circumstances—influence both health outcomes and behaviors that intersect with law enforcement.
