Evidence-Based Decision Making

Criminal justice systems across the country are coming to realize that in order to be most effective, they must rely on practices that are grounded in evidence-based research about the factors that contribute to criminal reoffending and the methods the justice system can employ to interrupt the cycle of reoffense.

The Center's Experience

The Center is committed to working to develop more collaborative, evidence-based decision making practices in justice systems nationwide. The goal of our work in this arena is to equip criminal justice policymakers with the information, processes, and tools that will result in measurable reductions of pretrial misconduct and post-conviction reoffending.
