Morris Justice Project: A Case Study

How can research can help us create a better world?

MJPlogoforpspwebsiteThe Morris Justice Project (MJP) is an intergenerational collective of researchers from the Morris Avenue section of the South Bronx, the Public Science Project at the CUNY Graduate Center, and Pace University Law Center. Working together since the spring of 2011, we have documented community experiences with the police, surveying and interviewing over 1000 residents of the neighborhood.

We will present the case study of the Morris Justice Project.  What new knowledge were they able to create with limited resources?  How did they get additional resources?  What mistakes did they make?  What policy changes did they help bring about?

What lessons can we learn from their work?  What do we want to change? What are the problems in our space?  Do we experience more hate crime or police harassment?
