Research Projects
Based at Northeastern University’s School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, the mission of the Center on Crime, Race, and Justice (CRJ) is to make the criminal justice system more equitable and just for all. The five labs of CRJ position race and diversity at the forefront of research to understand how diverse communities are differentially impacted by crime, violence, and responses to crime. Our work aims to provide evidence-based reforms to address these disparities in the system.
The Center on Crime, Race, and Justice is a proud founding member of CrimRxiv Consortium, an international, institutional network advancing open criminology by making information accessible for all. The consortium supports this mission by providing paywall free access to publications in leading articles and journals. You can view Northeastern’s open access articles here.
