The Marc Steiner Show
Synopsis: 
Do Hispanic victims of crime avoid reporting those crimes because they fear the police and legal system?

In this latest installment of Urbanite Radio Stories on the Marc Steiner Show, we explore what happens when Hispanics become victims of crime but fail to report it out of fear of the police and legal system.  What is being done to build a bridge of trust between the Latino community and the justice system? Read the article that inspired the show by clicking here. Marc spoke with:

  • Major Roger Bergeron, Commander of the Southeastern District
  • Evelyn Vargas, a bilingual advocate who works in the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office
  • Elizabeth Alex, Senior Manager of the Baltimore office of Casa de Maryland.
