R Street Criminal Justice and Civil Liberties Policy Group

CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND CIVIL LIBERTIES: THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLICY PROGRAM PRODUCES RESEARCH AND COMMENTARY ON PUBLIC POLICY RELATED TO ALL STAGES OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. THIS INCLUDES POLICING, PRE-TRIAL POLICY, SENTENCING, INCARCERATION, JUVENILE JUSTICE AND REENTRY. WE WORK ACROSS THE IDEOLOGICAL SPECTRUM TO PROVIDE POLICYMAKERS WITH REFORMS THAT PRIORITIZE PUBLIC SAFETY, DUE PROCESS, INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. WE ENGAGE WITH CENTER-RIGHT STAKEHOLDERS AT THE FEDERAL AND STATE LEVELS TO SHOW HOW JUSTICE REFORMS ARE CONSISTENT WITH CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES AND TO IMPROVE THE EFFICACY OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
