Objectives:

• Developing and promoting evidence of effective policy and practice for young adults at all stages of the criminal justice system
• Amplifying the voices of young adults, women and racially minoritised communities within the criminal justice system
• Supporting initiatives that focus on gender equality and race equality within a criminal justice context.

Gender and race

Gender and race equity are integrated into our programme.  Women, and wider society, are badly served by the current criminal justice system. People from racialised groups are over-represented at every stage of the criminal justice system and have worse outcomes than other groups.

By working with expert partners, gathering evidence and showing how change can be made, we work towards the fair treatment of all people to reduce crime and the current waste of human potential.
