The Evidence for Justice Lab’s mission is to create a more effective and fair approach to safety and justice through evidence and research. We accomplish this by engaging communities, collaborating with government partners and conducting applied research to pave the way for a more just future.
Learn more about our values & approachOur research explores innovative approaches, beyond traditional systems, that governments, nonprofits, and communities are using to build safer societies. By redefining what counts as “evidence,” blending empirical data with lived experience, we offer a fresh lens on justice and public safety.
