About us
Advancing Pretrial Policy and Research (APPR) is a national initiative working with justice professionals and community members to improve pretrial justice systems in ways that prioritize community well-being and safety, racial justice, fairness, and the effective use of public resources.

APPR advances pretrial justice nationally through: • Technical assistance that is grounded in collaboration, the law, research, and a commitment to increasing equity. • Trainings offered at no cost and covering a broad range of topics addressing pretrial legal principles, research-based innovative practices, data collection and performance measurement, change management, and effective implementation. • Pretrial resources that provide practical guidance for studying, planning for, and implementing pretrial improvements. • Research to identify more effective practices and policies. • The APPR Community, an online forum that connects pretrial professionals and communities around the country to connect, ask questions, share their experiences, and seek guidance from APPR staff and each other. • The APPR Help Desk, which answers questions from individuals and connects people with pretrial experts and resources. APPR is led by the Center for Effective Public Policy with support from Arnold Ventures

Failure to Appear (FTA) in court by people accused of crime is a major focus of criminal legal systems. But what about FTA by police, victims, witnesses, and attorneys? A recent study of case records in Philadelphia courts found these other actors failed to appear more often than accused people, with major implications for how we define, measure, and respond to FTAs. We spoke with co-authors of the study to learn more about the systemic nature of missed court appearances ➡ https://lnkd.in/g8_3H-he #CriminalLegalSystem
