The Council on Criminal Justice ("CCJ" or "the Council") is an American think tank and invitational membership organization focused on public safety and criminal justice. Nonpartisan and independent, the Council conducts research to establish key facts about crime and justice and convenes prominent government and community leaders to seek consensus on strategic policy roadmaps. The Council's boards and members comprise a cross-section of leaders and experts from law enforcement, courts, corrections, community organizations, advocacy, and academia, as well as formerly incarcerated people, crime victims and survivors, and others affected by the criminal justice system.
