Project overview
For this project, we will investigate how people perceive and understand criminal justice reform. We will also examine what criminal justice reform looks like through a community-driven lens. Recent research suggests an increase in support for reform within the criminal justice system. However, it is less clear how community concerns are influencing and driving these trends. In efforts to implement updated criminal justice programming, there is a call for a focused awareness of the specific issues currently facing comminutes. The objectives of this research project are to explore public understanding and perception of criminal justice reform from a community-driven perspective, as well as to create a blueprint for community-driven strategies that focus on reform that provides positive community outcomes. Students can participate in a literature review, design and test a survey, collect survey data, and perform data analysis.
