                          Mikala Meize – <\/strong><\/span>I am a doctoral candidate in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Washington State University. My research focuses on the response of the criminal justice system to cannabis-related offenses committed by youth in light of marijuana legalization.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          I chose WSU first because of the atmosphere. There is something about the Cougar spirit that really encouraged me to stick around. I completed both my BS in Psychology and my master’s degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology at WSU. Pursuing my PhD at WSU was a decision I made based on the quality of education I was receiving and the faculty I wanted to do research with.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          My fun fact is that I have eight copies of my favorite book (Pride and Prejudice<\/em>). Every time I go somewhere new, I try to find a unique copy for my collection.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          After graduating with my PhD from WSU, I intend to continue my research on the effects of marijuana policies throughout the country. I\u2019m not sure yet where I want to do this, but I look forward to sharing what I learn with other scholars as I continue my research.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4012,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"wsuwp_university_location":[],"wsuwp_university_org":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crmj.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3219"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crmj.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crmj.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crmj.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4012"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crmj.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3219"}],"version-history":[{"count":69,"href":"https:\/\/crmj.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3219\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6144,"href":"https:\/\/crmj.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3219\/revisions\/6144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crmj.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crmj.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_location?post=3219"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_org","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crmj.wsu.edu\/newsletter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_org?post=3219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
