C2C Impact Engine Boston Spring Policy Forum 2025
Research + Action:
Scaling Models to Center Community in the Justice System
Join us to learn about and discuss collaborative research focused on innovating community-responsive policies and practice in the criminal and legal justice systems. Policymakers, scholars, and community leaders will explore solutions to decrease bias in police traffic stops, reduce recidivism for returning citizens, and support women at the intersection of sex work and substance use disorders. With a focus on radical inclusion, equity, and action, the day will feature engaging discussions, networking opportunities, and resources to advance impactful collaborations.
