Please join the National Association of Sentencing Commissions and the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center at The Ohio State University for a moderated panel discussion focused on a new national initiative designed to help states make criminal justice data more accessible, clear, and usable for policymakers. Backed by a coalition of 21 national partner organizations and funded by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance, Justice Counts brings together state and local leaders to reach consensus about a limited set of criminal justice metrics that leaders can use to inform budget and policy decisions. The initiative also includes a scan of public, aggregate-level criminal justice data and identifies existing gaps in data reporting.

​Megan Grasso, Deputy Program Director, The Council of State Governments Justice Center

​Sarah Lee, Policy Analyst, The Council of State Governments Justice Center

​Carl Reynolds, Senior Legal and Policy Advisor, The Council of State Governments Justice Center

​Ken Sanchagrin, Executive Director, Oregon Criminal Justice Commission
