Smart Justice
The ACLU’s Campaign for Smart Justice has played a leading role in building an unprecedented nationwide movement to end mass incarceration.
Prioritizing public safety is important to ensure the health and well-being of everyone. We all deserve to be safe, regardless of where we live, how we look, or who we are. People across the political spectrum agree that the reliance on punishment and incarceration isn’t working – and believe it’s time for a new approach that is evidence-based, fair and works for all of us.
We can improve public safety by:
- Focusing on prevention rather than punishment;
- Addressing the root causes of crime, like poverty and lack of opportunity;
- Investing in proven solutions like mental health and addiction services, community violence intervention, housing, healthcare, jobs, and schools.
