Who We Are

In cities across the country, people face high rates of gun violence,under-resourced schools, and social harms associated with the criminaljustice system -- all of which disproportionately impact people ofcolor. These inequalities have profound consequences on public safetyand opportunity. As a society we have failed to address thesechallenges, in part, because of our lack of understanding of the mosteffective and cost-effective solutions that can have a real impact onpeople's lives. We believe that rigorous research can help.
