The Council on Criminal Justice is a national, nonpartisan organization that seeks to advance understanding of criminal justice policy and build consensus for solutions that enhance safety and justice for all. The Council conducts research and policy analysis, providing recommendations on various issues such as sentencing reforms, crime data infrastructure, and criminal justice disparities. It also delivers reports on trends in violent crimes and the challenges faced by specific groups, including veterans and women, in the justice system. The organization involves distinguished panels, such as the Veterans Justice Commission and Women’s Justice Commission, to guide its efforts and advocate for reforms that ensure equitable justice outcomes.
