Wilson Center Releases 2024-2025 Annual Report

We are proud to present our 2024-2025 annual report, a testament to an extraordinary year of progress. Our research, policy initiatives, and collaborations continue to shape national and local conversations and practices in the criminal justice system.

Our team has advanced projects at the intersection of science, law, and policy, with new studies and tools that address critical issues such as driver’s license suspensions, criminal fines and fees, pretrial practices, behavioral health, and the use of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence in the legal system. We’ve launched interactive data dashboards to give advocates, policymakers, and researchers new ways to understand the effects of legal system policies and to help identify pathways for reform.

We’ve also continued to expand our community of scholars and students. With Duke students working alongside us in research, data analysis, and policy projects, we are building the next generation of leaders committed to advancing justice through evidence and innovation.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to advancing a fairer and safer criminal legal system for all. Read the full annual report here.
