Improving Fairness and Public Safety

Woman embracing man while a little girl embraces her

We study key parts of the criminal legal system to promote more fair and effective approaches to public safety. We identify racial, economic, behavioral health, and other structural disparities at all levels and collaborate with community stakeholders and policy makers to implement solutions. By advancing data-driven solutions, we aim to strengthen communities and improve safety for all.
