The OJP Diagnostic Center recognizes state, local, and tribal communities that are making strides to identify and implement evidence-based programs and best practices in criminal justice, juvenile justice, and victim services. These communities increase awareness of the importance of considering science when confronting and addressing crime challenges. We encourage you to share your stories and lessons learned with us and the broader criminal justice community nationwide.
To share your news or lessons learned from your experience in implementing an evidence-based program or best practice in criminal justice, juvenile justice, or victim services, contact us.
