Since 2014, the Center for Court Innovation has worked with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to help plan and launch the Safety + Justice Challenge, a national initiative to reduce the use of jail across the United States.
The Center for Court Innovation seeks to advance the idea of procedural justice—encouraging justice agencies to treat individual arrestees, victims, defendants, and litigants with dignity and respect.
Procedural justice, and its intersections with race, policing, and justice system legitimacy, was a major theme of our summit on criminal justice challenges and innovative reform efforts.
