I will share my story of how the meaning of my name and problem-oriented policing inspire me to conquer my fear of public speaking, deal with stereotypes, and make my dream one step closer. Through my talk, I hope to motivate international students, new immigrants, and those who are struggling with the unknown to pursue their dream. Lastly, I hope to become an inspiration for Asian women in academia and the field of criminology and criminal justice. Jun Li is a graduate student majoring in Criminology and Criminal Justice at California State University, Long Beach. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice at California State University, Fullerton and her Associate degree in Administration of Justice at East Los Angeles College. Additionally, she is a teaching assistant in the School of Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Emergency Management at CSULB and a peer mentor with the CSULB GradMentor Program.
Her childhood dream was to become a “shero” to stop violence and crime, but now, her wish is to stay in academia and make a difference in the field of criminology and criminal justice. She is interested in topics surrounding public perception of crime and law enforcement, such as misperceptions toward sex workers and public animosity toward police. Her ambition is to be a criminologist who helps the prevention of crime worldwide. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
