The Crime and Justice Institute operates as a division of Community Resources for Justice, Inc. CJI envisions criminal/juvenile justice and social welfare systems that are fair, humane, results-driven and cost-effective. Through our work we seek to contribute to the revitalization and empowerment of urban communities, and to assist vulnerable populations in realizing their potential to lead civil, productive and satisfying lives. Guided by a belief in the fundamental dignity of each individual, we strive to narrow the gap between the world as we know it and the world as we envision it.
