An Analysis of the Topics, Programs, Practices, and Implementation Information on CrimeSolutions.gov and Model Programs Guide

• In Event: Where Are We Now? Current Progress and Future Work on Federal Repositories of Evidence-Based Justice Information

Abstract

NIJ’s CrimeSolutions.gov and OJJDP’s MPG use research to rate the effectiveness of programs and practices in achieving justice-related outcomes to inform practitioners and policymakers about what works, what does not, and what is promising in criminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services. Presenters will discuss the programs and practices featured on CrimeSolutions.gov and MPG, as well as an overview of the literature reviews and implementation guides available on MPG. They will also present a topical analysis across the information types and discuss what this analysis might reflect about the applicability of findings to practice and potential gaps in research.
