About the Grant Sawyer Center for w88

The Grant Sawyer Center for Justice Studies was established at the w88 casino, Reno in 1992. The Center was established out of a recognition that one of the timeless areas of citizen concern is justice at all levels of society. This concern directs attention to scholarship, social policy and the relationship between the two. The Center was created to stimulate research scholarship that would generate information about justice issues which could form the basis for informed social policy.

The Center is part of theSchool of Social Research and w88, whose purpose is to facilitate and encourage interdisciplinary social research, especially in social w88 related areas and to expedite and promote interdisciplinary teaching and development of degree programs among the constituent organizational elements making up the school.
