Today, we’re no longer imagining; we are building an ecosystem, the MFJ Collective, for agencies, community partners, and individuals to convene to advance data transparency and accessibility, leading to greater accountability in our criminal justice systems across the country.
Sign up to join the MFJ Collective below.
The MFJ Collective unites diverse professionals and advocates committed to bettering the criminal justice system through data and collaboration. The network allows you to collaborate to understand data, increase access to data, and promote data transparency. Together, we’re working to increase accountability in the criminal justice system.
Prosecutors, police, and other legal professionals dedicated to seeking justice, protecting society, and advocating for victims.
Members of community-based organizations, nonprofit leaders, policymakers, and other community members committed to reshaping the criminal justice system.
Researchers, educators, faculty and other professionals utilizing evidence- based research to make criminal justice systems and individual cases more fair, efficient, impartial, and effective.
Passionate advocates actively working together with their local criminal justice practitioners to bring data transparency to their
communities through Commons, a public-facing data platform.
Best practices, toolkits, data standards, and more. Whether you’re a criminal justice practitioner looking to improve your agency’s data quality, an academic professional seeking access to data, or a community advocate wondering the best way to use data to start a conversation about change, the MFJ Collective offers something for everyone.
Meet up virtually or in person. The MFJ Collective offers webinars with leading experts in Community Engagement, Data Science, and Criminology. It also advertises local, in-person events where you can connect with others around various criminal justice topics that interest you, including workshops, documentary screenings, and town halls.
Our aim is to share our expertise so you can bring new ideas to the work you do everyday. Understanding how to use the criminal justice data that’s available to you is a crucial first step in data- driven change. The MFJ Collective offers education on data literacy so you can lead and navigate data-driven conversations with confidence.
Connect and learn from other members of the MFJ Collective. You can meet and learn from others who are facing—or have solved—the same data-related challenges as you! You’ll have opportunities to seek guidance, share successes, and collectively take your ideas to the next level.
Sign up today to join the MFJ Collective and learn how we’ll work together to build a more accountable criminal justice system.
