University of Pretrial Library

In 2018, PJI established the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) to ensure that we understand and use new research to guide our theory of change and framework for implementation. We also want an independent check on our own selection bias—the tendency to like research that confirms our own ideas and to discount research that does not. RAC also serves as a place for other researchers to discuss pretrial justice, and we hope it will inspire rising academics to engage in pretrial research as a part of their thesis or dissertation work.
