Before joining the faculty at the University of Texas he was the coordinator of the juvenile justice concentration at North Carolina Central University and on the faculty at Wayne State University in Detroit Michigan. He has a combined twenty-eight years of practice and research experience. His general interest is social issues that impact the quality of life for children and families. His specific areas of expertise are the intersection between the child welfare, juvenile justice, education and mental health systems and the interaction between police and juveniles in urban communities. Dr. Allen’s work is guided by the belief that the coordination of child welfare, education and juvenile justice systems are especially important to helping children and families on the margins of society. During his career he has served as a consultant for various social service agencies in Ohio and Michigan including the Wayne County Mental Health Agency, Juvenile Court and Cleveland Municipal School District. In addition he has served as the Principal investigator for federal and state funded grants. The focus of his work has been to help private community based agencies and public social service systems develop and implement a coordinated system of change that will improve the quality of their overall service delivery system. --------------------------------------------------------------------3------------------------------------------------ Newsletter Contributions Invited We encourage members to submit news such as publications, new appointments, and other professional accomplishments for inclusion in a future newsletter.
