Nicole Brown
Senior Policy Associate, Urban Peace Institute

Nicole Brown supports the Urban Peace Institute’s criminal and juvenile justice reform work through policy analysis and advocacy. A major focus of her work is transforming the Los Angeles Probation Department and supporting a countywide vision for youth development that reduces youth contact with the justice system and provides young people with effective and appropriate services.

Prior to joining UPI, Nicole worked at the USC Tomás Rivera Policy Institute researching alternatives to arrest and reducing jail populations with special attention to the experience of Latinos and non-citizens. Before USC, she was Field Director at Unite Oregon, a statewide immigrant and refugee rights organization, where she organized around issues such as tenants’ rights, police profiling and ending law enforcement collaboration with Immigrant and Customs Enforcement (ICE).  Nicole graduated from USC with a Master’s of Public Policy, and received her Bachelor’s Degree from Portland State University.
