Justice Topics
The urgency of reforming our criminal justice system has increased with the growing number of incarcerated people in recent years.
The system also has economic and social costs that reverberate throughout our society. We study programs and policies that aim to strengthen the credibility and accountability of the system by reducing the criminalization of minor behavior, reforming selective enforcement policies, and ensuring that government dollars go to effective, evidence-based programs.
