Justice Consulting Services
The adult and juvenile justice systems are complex, involving many different agencies and stakeholders from law enforcement, courts, and corrections to community-based providers and victims of crime. Agencies must be agile to respond to the ever-changing social environment and identify solutions in alignment with best practices. For instance, the U.S. jail and prison system has become the largest provider of inpatient mental health treatment, with nearly 10 times as many people with serious mental illness now held behind bars than in hospitals. Communities must work across the human services system of care to address the needs of individuals and community safety.
