Over the past seasons, Steve Wilkos has helped authorities take pedophiles off the streets, has given dozens of women the courage to walk away from abusive relationships and has coached teens against the dangers of drugs and alcohol. He uses tough love to approach a wide range of issues such as domestic violence, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, child endangerment, gang affiliation, and racism, among others. It is Wilkos’ mission to help victims reach their full potential. He goes above and beyond the role of compassionate talk show host by providing people with the tools and building blocks to help them get their lives back on track. He delivers his advice with a no-nonsense attitude, a sense of discipline and a code of honor that he ascertained from his almost 20 years of experience in the military and police force.
