As with the Center’s other initiatives, our work on these criminal justice topics focuses on fostering collaboration by assisting agencies with forging meaningful and sustainable partnerships across organizational lines; facilitating system changes by providing strategic planning and targeted technical assistance; assisting with the application of new perspectives, knowledge, and skills to agencies by synthesizing contemporary research and practice literature, coaching policymakers in its application to agency and system-wide practice, and designing and conducting individualized trainings for agency staff at all levels; and disseminating information through the development and publication of topical written materials for the field.
