CJCJ researches the root causes of crime and other social issues. We examine broader social conditions such as poverty, racial, ethnic, and geographic disparities. Our work promotes policies that address these causes. This creates a healthy and equitable society for all. History has repeatedly demonstrated that incarceration is not a sustainable, long-term solution to public safety. Here are CJCJ’s research findings on legislation aimed to influence incarceration, community safety, and public policy.
