Abstract: Over the past decade, public health researchers have been advancing the Intersectionality-Based Policy Analysis (IBPA) framework to examine differential impacts of health policy. This article extends an equity-oriented policy agenda by applying the IBPA framework to three domains of the criminal justice system: policing, corrections, and legislation. I present case studies of algorithmic policing, the housing of transgender persons in carceral settings, and U.S. firearm legislation as examples of this approach. Through these cases, I argue for equitable processes and outcomes in the creation and application of criminal justice policy and practice.
