“Because of the excellent survey that was led by Sherry Hamby and other experts, we know that – in America today – more than three out of five children have been exposed to crime, violence, or abuse – in their neighborhoods, in their schools, or in their own homes.”
— Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder
“Sherry is one of the freshest thinkers in the field, and never fails to bring a new perspective to familiar topics. She is just plain fun to listen to.”
— Dr. David Finkelhor, Professor of Sociology & Director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center, University of New Hampshire
“Dr. Sherry Hamby is a thoughtful and inquisitive thought leader in the child maltreatment field, always willing to think about the next big thing while being an outstanding researcher and author. All of this expertise translates to Sherry providing high-quality, and thought-provoking presentations. If you are looking for someone to challenge your way of thinking about our work with a focus on advancing practice by utilizing available research, then Dr. Sherry Hamby is a fantastic option.”
