Promoting knowledge

Improved knowledge and understanding are a foundation for
effective action to achieve meaningful change.

Challenging injustices

A fair, impartial and proportionate criminal justice system is important.
But much about today’s justice system is unfair.

Creating change

We see transformative solutions to the problems we face as a real and present opportunity, not something only possible in an ill-defined future.
