Various Authors
March 2009
The Crime and Justice Institute and the National Institute of Corrections are proud to present a series of eight whitepapers on the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBP) known as the Box Set. The papers are designed to share information with criminal justice system stakeholders about how the implementation of evidence-based practices and a focus on recidivism reduction affect their areas of expertise in community corrections, defense, jail, judiciary, pretrial services, prison, prosecution, and treatment.
