The Columbia Justice Lab is a university research center whose work focuses on crime and criminal justice policy. We conduct research on incarceration, community supervision, reentry, youth development, community safety, narrative change, and racial justice.

We take a community-centered vision of justice that promotes healing and resilience, rather than surveillance and punishment, to address social problems rooted in racial and economic inequality.
