The Justice Lab’s Emerging Adult Justice Project (EAJP) and the Annie E. Casey Foundation have released a new RFI to work together with state, county, or municipal government entities, or non-profit community organizations to thoughtfully “test-drive” a first-of-its-kind developmental framework focused on emerging adults (ages 18 – 25) involved in the justice system. Selected jurisdictions will receive support to transform one or more elements of the criminal legal system to be as developmentally appropriate as possible for emerging adults. The EAJP is currently specifically hoping to partner with probation and/or parole agencies that supervise emerging adults. If you’re interested in learning more about the project and application process, visit the EAJP website or email eajp@columbia.edu.
