Texas Southern University has been granted
The Walmart Foundation has granted TSU an amount of $351,000 through Walmart.org Center for Racial Equity for becoming an HBCU hub for criminal justice research. This is a significant step toward criminal activity control in Houston, and the Hub will aim to assess and lessen the violent crime in the city.
According to the sources, it is also articulated that the research center will also greatly help the city authorities with mass imprisonment and brutal crime. The hub is also expected to become a way to connect nonprofit organizations, community leaders, and policymakers and work together. Creating collaborations between all these segments will be another motive of the hub in reducing the rates of brutal crimes in Houston.
The TSU hub will further associate with the Center’s Researcher Development and Training Institute to enhance the development of the researchers through training and making eligible social engineers.
