About CPEP The Criminalization and Punishment Education Project (CPEP) began in September 2012 as a collective of professors, graduate and undergraduate students from Carleton University and the University of Ottawa, and members of the community. The group works to use research, outreach and public events to identify and address problems with the penal system, to educate the public, and to advocate on key issues. We are always looking for more people to become involved.
