Sunny Schwartz, a nationally recognized expert in criminal justice reform, has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and Larry King Live to talk about Resolve to Stop the Violence (RSVP), a groundbreaking program she created for the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department. RSVP brings together victims and offenders in a unique correctional program that empowers victims, and requires offenders to take true responsibility for their actions and eliminate their violent behavior. Her new book, Dreams from the Monster Factory, is coming of in January, published by Simon & Schuster.
