National Association of Counties
Counties play a critical role in deploying resources and managing implementation of programs or policies that support the well-being of community members. By strategically investing in and partnering with community-led organizations, governments are also working to close these gaps to correct for historic disinvestment that has led to racial and ethnic disparities in the criminal legal system.
