Criminal Justice
Americans deserve a safe society that builds thriving communities while upholding people’s constitutional and civil rights.
We Work In
The Criminal Justice team at Arnold Ventures supports research and policy to reduce crime and put those who interact with the criminal justice system on a better path. Our support for research helps identify effective strategies, while our policies and advocacy help achieve impact at scale.
Based on the highest quality evidence available, we partner with leaders in and outside government to prevent and deter crime, provide accountability in an effective and fair manner, increase opportunities to reduce recidivism and break the incarceration cycle, and facilitate more rigorous research on what works.
