Dr. Charles E. Hathaway

Former Chancellor - University of Arkansas, Little Rock

  Criminologists, sociologists and educators came together under the direction of former UALR Chancellor, Dr. Charles E. Hathaway to study what is needed to make our communities safer from crime. The Task Force pulled no punches in reporting its findings on how municipalities within a county must unite to provide for crime prevention, intervention, and treatment with a jail as the centerpiece of the plan. The study includes “How to determine the perfect size jail, its operational costs, and how to pay for those costs.”  

Garland County is fortunate that Dr. Hathaway is making himself available to personally brief us on the main findings of the UALR Task Force Report and answer questions from the public.
