A snapshot of the work we’ve done this past month, from gathering researchers, practitioners, and advocates for the first-ever SJC Research Symposium to debuting our work supporting survivors of gender-based violence.

The Symposium provided a space—after nearly a decade of identifying and implementing data-driven strategies to safely reduce jail populations and eliminate racial and ethnic disparities—to take stock of and celebrate SJC-funded research in a more targeted way.

After large-scale law enforcement intervention in 2014 left the community disrupted and traumatized, the West Harlem Community Reentry and Restoration Project (WHCRRP) sought to support the people directly impacted as well as the community at large.

The fifth cohort of the Kriegel Fellowship welcomes 21 chiefs of staff from across all five boroughs and the Hudson Valley. For the next few months, they will engage in discussions with policy experts, network, and build the skills to support them in their current roles and their future journeys in public service.
