Please join the Smart Policing Initiative (SPI) for the webinar, “Using Randomized Controlled Trials in Criminal Justice” on Wednesday, June 8, from 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET. This webinar will introduce participants to the basic principles of experimental research in natural (non-laboratory) settings. Participants will learn about when randomized controlled trials (RCT) are an appropriate research option, the advantages and disadvantages of experiments, implementation and analytical issues, and ethical and practical considerations.
Panelists will review examples of police interventions that have used RCT designs in their implementation and evaluation, and discuss lessons learned from those experiences. Panelists will include Dr. Gipsy Escobar, Director of Research at Measures for Justice, and Dr. Michael D. White, Professor and Director of the Ph.D. Program at the School of Criminology & Criminal Justice, Arizona State University.
