Causal Research on the Criminal Justice System | Russell Sage Foundation The Russell Sage Foundation (RSF), in collaboration with the Criminal Justice program at Arnold Ventures ( AV) is pleased to announce its first annual grants competition for early-career scholars, "Causal Research on the Criminal Justice System" (CRCJ). Our goal is to cultivate a pipeline of researchers conducting causal research on the criminal justice system.

Criminal justice policies and practices include the work of police, courts, jails, prisons, probation and parole, and immigration detention. Proposals must include causal research designs that can reliably isolate the treatment effects of a policy, practice, or intervention. Examples include difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, instrumental variables, and randomized controlled trials.

Mixed methods projects will be considered if a causal research design is central to the proposal.
