National Academy of Sciences Building - Room 120

Please join us on September 23-24, 2024, for a two-day public workshop exploring models of prosecutorial programs and practices, implications for public policy, and priorities for future research.

The workshop aims to showcase practices, programs, and policies that offer promising alternatives to incarceration, address racial and ethnic disparities in criminal justice outcomes, and promote continuous quality improvement and accountability within prosecutors’ offices. Discussions will include how prosecutors can build community trust in criminal justice institutions and sustain meaningful reforms. The workshop will also identify critical data and methodological gaps in the current research landscape, providing insights on how to fill these gaps to strengthen the evidence base.
