Patchwork
Patchwork, a podcast from the Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), offers a glimpse into the implementation of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) at the local, state, tribal, and national levels. How are VAWA grants made? What happens after the grants leave Washington and arrive in communities across the country? Who are the people who benefit from the grants? Featuring the voices of people combating domestic and sexual violence on the front lines and behind the scenes, Patchwork threads together stories from over 25 years of federally funded efforts to serve victims and hold offenders accountable.https://www.justice.gov/doj/privacy-policy

Dr. David Hunt is a recipient of the Attorney General’s Citizen Volunteer Service Award. He was recently recognized for his volunteer work with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) where he works with their artists to illustrate what children who have gone missing might look like years later. When he is not helping solve cases, Dr. Hunt works as a physical and forensic anthropologist and archaeologist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
In this episode of Patchwork, Dr. Hunt describes cases that he’s helped with and sheds light onto the many facets of his work. He also provides a general framework on how to be successful for those who are interested in a career in forensic science.
