Practice Profile: Boatright as a community outreach coordinator implements programs aimed at crime prevention and reducing recidivism in metro Atlanta. She spearheaded the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s Drug Market Intervention (DMI) in the English Avenue area of west Atlanta. She matched local, state and federal law enforcement with residents, civic associations, clergy, ex-offenders and service providers to disrupt street-level drug dealing in the largest open-air heroin market in the Southeast.
Boatright provided a second chance to lower-level drug dealers through drug treatment, GED completion, job placement and ongoing life skills training. As a result, the English Avenue neighborhood has seen an almost 40 percent drop in drug-related and violent crime.
