HOW WE WORK

Every day, public safety depends on thousands of state and local leaders who work across agencies, systems, and levels of government to make communities safer. For two decades, federal resources allowed the CSG Justice Center to support those leaders free of charge with on-demand assistance and expert analysis to help fix broken parts of the system and implement proven solutions.

On April 22, much of that federal support was ended, along with other vital grants. We’re working with federal officials to help restore these critical resources.

In the meantime, we’re still here, ready to continue helping leaders advance safety and justice. Our team continues to deliver rigorous, objective, and nonpartisan solutions tailored to your needs. Please reach out to the following staff:

If you have other questions about how we can help you, please contact jc-info@csg.org.

We bring people together.

With our singular ability to reach federal, state, and local leaders from all three branches of government, we gather people from both sides of the aisle and across the country to foster collaboration.

We drive the criminal justice field forward with original research.

Our in-depth data analyses, coupled with extensive interviews of people on the front lines of the criminal justice system, inform improvements and spur national initiatives.

We build momentum for policy change.

We synthesize and contextualize data to help policymakers enact and implement major reforms that address criminal justice challenges, many of which intersect with other systems, such as health, education, and housing.

We provide expert assistance.

Our on-the-ground training and assistance helps state and local agencies and organizations translate the latest research into policy and practice.
