The Consortium for Police Leadership in Equity (CPLE)
The Consortium for Police Leadership in Equity (CPLE) is a research consortium that promotes police transparency and accountability by facilitating innovative research collaborations between law enforcement agencies and world-class social scientists. Through these facilitated collaborations, the Consortium seeks to improve issues of equity–particularly racial and gender equity–in policing both within law enforcement agencies and between agencies and the communities they serve. The Consortium aims to effect cultural transformations within both law enforcement and the academy by creating opportunities that simultaneously preserve the dignity of law enforcement and advance the application of social science to the real world.
The CPLE is committed to research transparency and, as such, does not charge participating law enforcement agencies for access to our expert researchers. To that end, CPLE researchers are never funded by participating law enforcement agencies and are able to render both expert consultations (for law enforcement) and scholarly publications (for the academic and general public) absent any hint of coercion or incentive. Consequently, the structure of the CPLE is, itself, an innovation designed to further the interests of transparency and accountability in equity matters.
Chief Tracie L. Keesee, Ph.D., Executive Director of Operations, and Professor Phillip Atiba Goff, Ph.D., Executive Director of Research, are both members of the Center on Race, Crime and Justice Advisory Board.
New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU)
The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) is one of the nation's foremost defenders of civil liberties and civil rights. Founded in 1951 as the New York affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, we are a not-for-profit, nonpartisan organization with eight chapters and regional offices and nearly 50,000 members across the state.
Our mission is to defend and promote the fundamental principles and values embodied in the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution, and the New York Constitution, including freedom of speech and religion, and the right to privacy, equality and due process of law for all New Yorkers.
Correctional Association of New York
The Correctional Association of New York is an independent, non-profit organization founded by concerned citizens in 1844 and granted unique authority by the New York State Legislature to inspect prisons and to report its findings and recommendations to the legislature, the public and the press. Through monitoring, research, public education and policy recommendations, the Correctional Association strives to make the administration of justice in New York State more fair, efficient and humane.
The Correctional Association envisions a criminal justice system that holds a person accountable for a crime yet does not condemn an entire life based on a person's worst act, a system that goes beyond a process of law and accountability to encompass social and racial equality on all levels.
The All Stars Project (ASP)
Is an innovative performance-based program. The ASP creates outside-of-school educational and performing arts activities for thousands of poor and minority young people. It sponsors community and experimental theater, develops leadership training, and pursues volunteer initiatives that build and strengthen communities. Operation Conversation: Cops and Kids provides an opportunity for communication between NYC youth and the NYPD.
Racial Democracy, Crime and Justice - Network (RDCJ-N)
The purpose of the Racial Democracy, Crime and Justice - Network (RDCJ-N) is to collectively undertake research and related initiatives geared to exploring the implications of crime and justice processing for democratic participation. This focus is informed by currents of history, cutting-edge crime and justice research, unfolding world events, and the interests and engagements of networks participants. Our specific objectives are twofold: (1) advancing research on issues of citizenship and democratic participation at the intersection of race, crime, and justice; and (2) promoting racial/ethnic democratization of academe by supporting junior scholars of color (racial/ethnic minorities) in advancing their academic careers.
