Just a reminder that your local library has more than just books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

Howdy! I am trying this social platform out and would love to connect with friends that are researching victimology broadly, specifically human trafficking and campus violence. I am a #FirstGen Latina assistant professor that enjoys collecting records, F1, and wandering through bookstores ☕️🌎🇲🇽🤍
