Prosecutors, researchers, & advocates convene to advance equity in the CJ system

The Prosecution Research Network convened virtually on July 13 and 14, 2020 for the purpose of identifying research and policy strategies to improve health, reduce incarceration, and increase national safety, prosperity, and wellbeing.

The newly formed Prosecutors Research Network, comprised of offices from rural and urban jurisdictions around the country, held its first summit to discuss establishing an evidence base for prosecutorial-led alternatives to detention and incarceration. The Prosecutors Research Network is the creation of a partnership with IJRD at Florida State University and Colorado Mental Health’s Equitas Project.
