Intersecting Institutions of Criminal Justice and Injustice Project

The Intersecting Institutions of Criminal Justice and Injustice Project consists of a series of related empirical, theoretically informed, and policy-relevant research projects on the relationship between the criminal justice system and the marginalization of individuals from vulnerable communities in Canada. The research will focus on four criminal justice "nodes" (policing, courts, prison, and reintegration) and study the dynamics internal to each node as they relate to processes of marginalization. The project aims to develop a holistic understanding of cross-organizational dynamics and forms of cumulative disadvantage in Canada's criminal justice system.
