Justice Policy
How do we create a justice system that is fairer, more efficient, and more effective?
With broad cross-disciplinary expertise, the RAND Justice Policy Program addresses public safety and the performance of the civil and criminal justice system for federal and state agencies, local police departments, and the private sector.
The program addresses key policy issues in the criminal and civil justice systems: effective policing, extremism, access to justice, border security, corrections reform and recidivism, drug policy, the courts, and the role of corporate ethics and accountability.
