How it works
Who is NICJN for?
NICJN is for anyone with a shared interest in improving how the criminal justice system works for neurodivergent people.
​
Whether you're:
-
A practitioner working with or supporting neurodivergent individuals
-
A researcher creating new knowledge about criminal justice and neurodivergence
-
A policy maker shaping decisions that affect neurodivergent communities
-
A legal professional looking to better serve your neurodivergent clients
-
Someone with lived experience of navigating the criminal justice system
-
Or simply curious and committed to fairness —
​
The NICJN exists to help you find trusted knowledge, connect with others, and contribute to change.
Finding reliable information about neurodivergence in the criminal justice system is time-consuming, fragmented, and often inaccessible. We believe that better, more accessible knowledge is key to improving justice for neurodivergent people.
