    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.

Implementation science, however, can help practitioners tackle implementation challenges so the promise of EBPs can be more fully realized.

    Case Supervision Practices

    Over the last 20 years, supervision practices in the field of probation have significantly changed in the attempt to assist in positive behavior change in probationers.
