Public Safety

RAND work on public safety issues ranges from policing and prisons to violent crime and the illegal drug trade, as well as homeland security and emergency preparedness. RAND delivers research that reflects our core values of quality and objectivity and helps inform policy debates that are often riddled with arguments driven not by evidence but by emotion and ideology.

Research conducted by: RAND Infrastructure, Safety, and Environment; RAND Europe; Safety and Justice Program; Center on Quality Policing; Center for Health and Safety in the Workplace; RAND Drug Policy Research Center
