Our Mission
The Criminal Justice Expert Panel is composed of trusted experts on what works to improve the fairness and effectiveness of the criminal justice system. Panelists are highly-respected academic social scientists from a variety of disciplines. What they have in common is their expertise in measuring the real-world effects of policies and programs on the outcomes that matter most. Our goal is to bring you their knowledge in a way that is timely, clear, and policy-relevant.
