Knowledge mobilization is at the center of our mandate.
While there is a plethora of important research being conducted across the country about the impacts of incarceration, this research often exists in silos from the populations who are impacted by it, and from advocacy organizations who need evidence to advance their goals.
CRPOI seeks to ensure that:
1.) More research is conducted about incarceration in Canada
2.) Researchers and advocates are connected and mobilized in terms of what is being produced in the field
3.) Researchers and advocates are aware of government priorities related to law and policy direction about incarceration
4.) Research outputs make it to the attention of law and policy makers
