While the Lehigh Valley Justice Institute is a focal point for the study of the Lehigh Valley criminal justice system, there are many fine organizations, both locally and nationally which are engaged in cutting edge research and advocacy for criminal justice and social justice reform. This page is intended to share their work, as well as the work of the Institute.
