This glossary is designed to identify and define some of the most commonly used terms related to discussions of racism, racial equity and disparity, and community engagement. APPR believes that helping practitioners understand the terms defined in this glossary and encouraging consistency in the use of language is of critical importance to jurisdictions that are working to address and reduce inequality and to increase community partnership.
APPR holds as one of its foundational principles that efforts to enhance pretrial justice must include deliberate strategies to eliminate racial, ethnic, gender, and economic disparities. It is our hope that this glossary will be a useful resource for pretrial system practitioners in the increasingly urgent national discussion about the harms of structural racism and the path forward toward equity.
