Summary of Expertise
Tammy Fournier is currently employed by the Ohio State University as an Outreach Specialist and also chairs the OSU Youth Violence Prevention Advisory Board with Dr. Deanna Wilkinson and the Community Safety Institute. Since December of 2009, Tammy has been working at OSU in the capacity of community lay expert, providing insights on the planning and development of The Knowledge Center and the Columbus Violence Prevention Collaborative. She was recruited from the community and selected specifically for her outstanding leadership and involvement in a variety of local task forces, collaborative groups, and in the faith community.
In addition to her work with the OSU Youth Violence Prevention Advisory Board, Tammy serves on the Franklin Pre-Release Citizens Advisory Board. She is also an involved member of the Franklin County Re-Entry Task Force, where she chairs the sub-committee Faith, Family and Community.
Tammy Fournier is known for her advocacy as well as her published works. Her first novel, entitled P.I.E.C.E.S.: A Booster’s Story, was released by national publishing company Kensington Publishing under their Urban Books imprint in October of 2008, and her second book, Becoming Tara, was released soon afterwards. Both books are available in all major book stores and featured locally at The Book Suite on Long Street in Columbus, Ohio.
Ted Decker of the Columbus Dispatch writes about the historical context of the recent spike in violent crime in Columbus. The story includes quotes from two criminologists –Dr. Al Blumstein and Dr. Deanna Wilkinson. The story points out that reports about crime trends are necessarily that meaningful or helpful. It doesn’t point out that gun violence has consistently been the leading cause of death for African Americans aged 15-34 years old for 32 years consecutively. We should not wait for a major spike to pay attention to this problem. There are solutions. There are evidence-based practices that can prevent much of these violent events.
