Newswise — “First, we need to understand that Lindsay Lohan is not the first person to violate probation requirements; however, because she has money and, to a certain degree, fame, she may have a harder road to travel,” says Thomas Nochajski, who studies DUI offenders, alcohol abuse and delinquency as a faculty researcher in the University at Buffalo School of Social Work.
“A number of issues should be addressed in her treatment -- potential depression, social anxiety and potential for boredom. She will need to want to change her behavior and she will need to believe she can do so. Changing the individuals she pals with is also something that may need to occur -- if she doesn’t do that then the likelihood of her failing is high.”
Additional commentary from Nochajski and a list of other faculty is available as experts on a range of topics is available at http://newstips.buffalo.edu.
