Advancing the science and practice of justice-related health care.
What is ACCJH?
The Academic Consortium on Criminal Justice Health (ACCJH) is a member organization with a mission to advance the science and practice of health care for individuals and populations within the criminal justice system. As the academic home for its members, ACCJH advances health research, training and care for justice-involved populations.
ACCJH members benefit from the resources of an academic community that conducts breakthrough research in correctional health care, and develops and promotes a broader and more critical view of the relationships between community and correctional health care. Membership has been tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals within this field, and it continues to evolve and adapt as practices and policies change.
