Projects

CJI has received joint funding from the National Institute of Corrections and the Public Welfare Foundation to support the implementation of the California Community Corrections Performance Incentive Act of 2009.

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.

Assisting key criminal justice stakeholders in California in their implementation of Assembly Bill 109, better known as realignment.

CJI is working with the Imperial County Probation Department to develop a process for collecting, analyzing, and reporting key data elements. The goal of this process will be the development of data reports that present agency performance and outcome data at the individual, unit, and agency level that will reflect the successes of the department and identify areas for enhancement.

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.

As part of CRJ’s commitment to support many of our most challenged citizens, Community Strategies offers individualized treatment in residential or community-based environments to over 160 adults across New England. In an effort to demonstrate the impact of the CS model on the clients it serves, in 2008 CRJ launched an initiative to bring together two of its operational divisions — Community Strategies (CS) and the Crime and Justice Institute (CJI) —for the purpose of facilitating a systematic program evaluation.
