Webinar: Implementing Evidence Based Practices and Services with Fidelity

Although crime control policy and program development processes are increasingly being informed by scientific evidence, identifying and adopting what works is only part of what’s needed to realize positive outcomes. Evidence-based programs and practices (EBPs) still have to be implemented with fidelity and integrity in order to be successful. Unfortunately, implementation is not an easy task. Implementation science, however, can help practitioners tackle implementation challenges so the promise of EBPs can be more fully realized.

2018 National Forum on Criminal Justice

Sponsored by the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) and the IJIS Institute (IJIS), the National Forum on Criminal Justice showcases programs, research, and technologies that help justice practitioners and decisionmakers in states, local communities, and tribal nations address pressing public safety issues. It is the only criminal justice conference that brings together leaders from federal, state, local, and tribal government and the public and private sector to share real world strategies and solutions from around the country.

Join the Justice Clearinghouse for the webinar “Evidence Based Best Practices for Public Safety Agencies” on Wednesday, November 1 from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET. During the webinar, participants will learn about evidence-based policy (EBP) development, an approach that places evidence and research at the center of decisionmaking related to policy, program, and project implementation.

Webinar - Evidence Based Best Practices for Public Safety Agencies

This Justice Clearinghouse webinar will examine evidence-based policy (EBP) development.

EBP is an approach that helps decisionmakers develop well-informed decisions about policies, programs, and projects by putting the best available evidence from research at the heart of policy development and implementation.

Webinar: Sustainability Strategies for Prosecutors

Sustaining effective, innovative, and evidence-based strategies is the cornerstone for Smart Prosecution practices.

The Center for Evidence-based Crime Policy (CEBCP) at George Mason University released the spring 2017 issue of the Translational Criminology magazine to share examples of how research is converted into criminal justice practice. This biannual magazine serves to advance CEBCP’s mission of providing an informational link between practitioners and the policy community and advancing research-practice collaborations.

Please join the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST) for the Building Analytical Capacity Initiative webinar, “People, Places, Patterns, and Problems: A Foundation for Crime Analysis" on Wednesday, May 25, from 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET.

The Justice Research and Statistics Association (JRSA), in coordination with the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA), and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), has developed two toolkits for State Administering Agencies (SAAs).

NCJA Webinar - Evidence Based Policymaking: Lessons from the Field

Over the last decade, justice and human service agencies have been under growing pressure to demonstrate that interventions and programs are not only effective but provide a solid return on investment. With a mounting body of science that shows which interventions work; decision makers are increasingly focused on how to best integrate this knowledge into program interventions, management strategies and funding decisions.
