Risk Resilience Research Lab

The Risk Resilience Research Lab aims to improve justice, safety and well-being for people and communities at risk, through policy-relevant research. They partner with government and non-profit stakeholders, including the people they serve, to develop evidence-based strategies that: advance violence prevention and well-being improve treatment services and supervision, and reduce inequality in the justice system. To shed light on what works, their team uses a variety of disciplinary approaches and rigorous methods — from state-of-the-art analyses of ‘big data,’ to experiments in real-world settings. Their results often challenge common-sense assumptions about the cause of the problem and suggest innovative strategies for prevention, intervention, and justice.
