AIR Opportunity Fund: Investing in Evidence to Redesign Public Safety

Fri, Nov 15, 3:30 to 4:50pm, Nob Hill B - Lower B2 Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

In a year marked by tumultuous, tough-on-crime rhetoric, the imperative to prioritize evidence-based approaches to create new systems of public safety is paramount. The country continues to grapple with recent years' demand for justice reform, against that backdrop, the AIR Equity Initiative at the American Institutes for Research has invested in projects that generate and use high-quality evidence to address the underlying causes of systemic inequities and to increase opportunities for people and communities. From piloting community reinvestment from drug policy reforms, to deepening our understanding of police use of force interventions, and to evaluating community- and place-based reform practices, this panel will illuminate community-driven processes and methodologically rigorous research that will expand the current evidence base on effective public safety interventions across the United States.
