Reducing Racial Inequalities in the Criminal Justice System

Completed

Topics

The Committee on Law and Justice will convene an ad hoc committee to review and assess existing evidence on how observed racial differences in criminal justice might be reduced through public policy. As appropriate, the committee will make evidence-driven policy and research recommendations for key criminal justice stakeholders with the ultimate goal of identifying ways to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in the criminal justice system.
