Yale Law School’s Justice Collaboratory has launched a new research network within their Social Media Governance Initiative. The Research Network is a consortium of scholars working together to examine the sociocultural impacts of digital technologies on contemporary social life.

In partnership with the Policing Project at New York University School of Law, The Justice Collaboratory organized the convening of two working groups of some of the country’s leading advocates and experts to discuss what a reimagined public safety system would look like.

The Justice Collaboratory conducted a study of perspectives of individuals working at the frontline of six key institutions in New York City’s criminal justice system: prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, correction officers, probation officers and Criminal Justice Agency interviewers.

This National Institutes of Health (NIH) program aims to better understand COVID-19 testing patterns among underserved and vulnerable populations disproportionately affected by the pandemic; strengthen the data on disparities in infection rates, disease progression and morbidity and mortality; and develop strategies to reduce the disparities in COVID-19 testing, rates of infection, and outcomes.

This study qualitatively examined Project Longevity, Connecticut’s largest GVI initiative, to contribute to the limited literature on implementation of gun violence reduction strategies.

Despite the transformation of policing and rising prevalence of encounters with the justice system, current research is ill-suited to help us understand how the Michael Browns of America come to experience the police and state authority more broadly. This important work requires a better way to measure these dynamics across communities. And it requires that we center the voices of the unfree. That we listen. The Portals Policing Project aims to do just that.

The Policing, Law, and Policy Clinic offers current Yale Law School students the opportunity to translate cutting-edge empirical research on policing reform into real-world policies

The Justice Collaboratory and members of the National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice have designed intervention programs that aim to improve police-community relations in six pilot cities around the country.

Through a series of public events, a new course offering, cutting-edge scholarship, and a special issue of The Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, the Justice Collaboratory in conjunction with the Solomon Center for Health, Law & Policy is placing a special focus on addressing the epidemic of gun violence in America.

This project involves a qualitative evaluation of gun violence prevention services in New Haven, utilizing a community-based participatory action research (CBPAR) model. Its goal is to explore: (1) How do individuals and communities impacted by gun violence understand its underlying causes and experience its effects? (2) How do individuals and communities experience gun violence prevention work?

The Justice Collaboratory conducted a community study on behalf of the New York City Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice (MOCJ), looking into New Yorker’s engagement with the city government.
