As a part of our response to the opioid crisis, we have developed two new publications to help reformers build effective opioid intervention programs, save lives, and protect communities.

Our new report about risk assessment examines the impact of the algorithms that many jurisdictions are using to measure the risk a defendant will be rearrested or fail to appear in court. 

We've worked alongside communities in 42 states over the past year to change culture and practice in the justice system. 

Launched in 2018, the Center for Court Innovation’s 10-member advisory board provides guidance to our staff leadership.

Our annual report provides a snapshot of our ongoing efforts to promote reform and offer pathways out of the justice system.

One of the things that makes the Center for Court Innovation unique is that we bridge the worlds of action and reflection.

Each episode of New Thinking takes on pressing issues on justice system reform, talking to the people documenting the problems and those working to solve them. The fall season includes Bruce Western, Kim Foxx, and more.
