Projects

Working with states to help advance the goal of fiscally sound, data-driven policies and practices in sentencing and corrections that protect public safety, hold offenders accountable, and control corrections costs.

Since 2007, CJI has been working with the Court Support Services Division (CSSD) of the State of Connecticut's Judicial Branch to implement and expand its Contractor Data Collection System (CDCS). CDCS is designed to enhance the Division’s ability to use empirical evidence to support data-driven decision making.

In the fall of 2002, NIC joined with CJI to assist two pilot states (Illinois and Maine) in applying an integrated approach to the implementation of evidence-based principles in community corrections. The project model maintains an equal and integrated focus on three domains: the implementation of evidence-based principles, organizational development, and collaboration.
