Mission Statement:The Justice Policy Institute (JPI) is a nonprofit research and public policy organization dedicated to ending society's reliance on incarceration and promoting effective and just solutions to social problems. Since 1997, JPI has evolved into one of the nation's most thoughtful and progressive voices for crafting workable solutions to age-old problems plaguing our juvenile and criminal justice systems. We seek to advance the quality and content of public discourse in the ongoing debate around juvenile and criminal justice system reform as well as to help jurisdictions to develop alternatives to incarceration.
