Autorenporträt
Shaun Flowers graduated high school with the grades and social skills to ensure a successful, happy future. But when a single mistake derailed his plans, he made it his mission to have his record expunged and reclaim his potential. After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in juvenile justice, he became a decorated police officer in Newark, New Jersey. As one of the city's best undercover narcotics officers, he came to the realization that drug addiction is an illness and offenders require treatment over punishment. His experiences on both side of the fence led him to become an ardent spokesperson for a more proactive reform system, and to begin crafting a more engaging and accessible expungement program.
