The Center on Media, Crime and Justice
Since 2006, the Center on Media, Crime and Justice (CMCJ) at John Jay College of Criminal Justice has promoted evidence-based reporting on criminal justice by bringing journalists together with policymakers, academics and practitioners for candid discussions and briefings on major topics of the day. Nearly 800 reporters and editors around the country have participated as reporting fellows. A LIST of symposia, podcasts and video from the meetings, and links to the journalists’ work is below.
