Current Issues in Criminal Justice on CrimeSolutions.gov

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

CrimeSolutions.gov is the National Institute of Justice’s central resource for practitioners and policy-makers to understand what works, what doesn’t, and what is promising in the fields of criminal justice, juvenile justice, and victim services. Since its launch in 2011, CrimeSolutions.gov has reviewed the literature on some of the most hotly-debated issues in the field. This session will present evidence about what works and what doesn’t in four areas: reentry, police technology, opioid abuse, and school safety.
