Project Overview

Summary

The Task Force for Racial Equity in Criminal Justice (TREC) was established by Governor Roy Cooper in June 2020. TREC is led by Attorney General Josh Stein and NC Supreme Court Associate Justice Anita Earls and consists of twenty-four members from a wide range of backgrounds. TREC submitted its recommendations on December 14, 2020. Read the final report, the executive summary, and the recommendation chart.
