Reentry

The Criminal Justice and Civil Liberties (CJ) team covers a wide range of issues, including policing, juvenile justice, pre-trial and prosecution, as well as sentencing, incarceration, and reentry. At a time when public trust in law enforcement has dropped, community members feel less safe, and urban crime has spiked, the  CJ program is able to work across the ideological spectrum to advance meaningful reforms.
