Use of Force

R Street’s Criminal Justice and Civil Liberties Policy program works across the ideological spectrum on public policy impacting almost every stage of the criminal justice system: incarceration, juvenile justice, policing, pretrial, bail system changes, reentry and sentencing. Our solutions are grounded in ensuring public safety, due process, fiscal responsibility and individual liberty. Sign up for updates here.
