NCJA will be streaming the 2017 National Forum osession Data: What It is, Why You Need It and What in the World to Do With It live on NCJA's Facebook page on August 1. This session is geared for novices who want to understand how to figure out what data is available, how to get it and how to use what you have when making decisions.
Data. We need it to decide which problems to tackle, to choose which initiatives to fund, and to measure whether those programs are working as planned. But do we have the data we need? If not, who does and will they share? How do we know if the data are telling us what we need to know? And how in the world do we pay for the analysis? This session will be by practitioners, for practitioners - a practical, how-to approach for assessing your data needs and knowing the right questions to ask.
Presenters for this session are Jeff Bender, Deputy Commissioner, NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services; and Terry Salo, Deputy Commissioner, NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services. Glenn Fueston, Executive Director, MD Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention will serve as moderator.
A recording will be posted to the NCJA website following the broadcast.
