IRS990/Desc0RESEARCH: THIS YEAR, DC JUSTICE LAB EXPANDED ITS RESEARCH METHODS BEYOND LEGAL ANALYSIS AND LISTENING TO COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, TO ALSO INCLUDE FACILITATING CONVENINGS OF SOCIAL SCIENCE EXPERTS AND REVIEWING AND ANALYZING DATASETS. WE CONTINUED OUR WORK WITH STUDENTS PURSUING DEGREES IN LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY.WE CHAIRED COMMITTEES ON THE D.C. POLICE REFORM COMMISSION AND THE DISTRICT TASK FORCE ON JAILS AND JUSTICE, EACH OF WHICH PUBLISHED A BLUEPRINT TO IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY THROUGH A HARM-REDUCTION APPROACH. OUR RESEARCH FIGURED PROMINENTLY IN THE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS TO INVEST IN NON-POLICE ALTERNATIVES TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CRISES; TO STRENGTHEN D.C.'S SOCIAL SAFETY NET AND DECRIMINALIZE POVERTY; TO EXPAND COMMUNITY RESPONSES TO GUN VIOLENCE; TO PROTECT YOUNG PEOPLE FROM STATE VIOLENCE; AND TO INCREASE COMMUNITY OVERSIGHT. WE PROVIDED THOUGHT LEADERSHIP ON AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN THAT WOULD DRAMATICALLY DECREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE INCARCERATED.
