THE PROJECT
Facing the Numbers is putting an end to systemic racism and disadvantage inherent in Australia’s criminal justice system.
Facing the Numbers is a partnership between Common Ground, GARUWA and Tyson Perkins.
The project is being developed with guidance from a First Nations Advisory Group, consisting of key experts in criminal justice, law, policy, community services, advocacy and systems change.
