Our Initiatives

Anat Kimchi

THE ANAT PROJECT: Bridging Data Science and Criminal Justice Practices

In collaboration with Moss Justice Partners (MJP), the Anat Project seeks to engage with scholars and researchers exploring topics identified as gaps in the criminal justice system and disseminate their findings to judges and other judicial system actors. By sharing evolving evidence-based criminology research data, this will help avoid implicit bias, reduce recidivism, and promote successful reentry.
