A new publication of The Sentencing Project, produced through a collaboration with leaders from all components of the criminal justice system, provides guidance to criminal justice professionals on identifying and understand the causes and manifestations of racial disparity and selecting options for reducing it.

Reducing Racial Disparity examines the full chain of criminal justice practices, from enforcement to pretrial to prosecution, defense, judiciary, probation, jails and prisons to parole.
