Crime and Justice
We have conducted domestic and international research on crime and justice issues since the 1970s. In 2000, we established a dedicated Crime, Violence, and Justice Research Program, which has a research staff with professional backgrounds in criminology, economics, law, psychology, public health, and sociology.
In addition to experienced crime and justice personnel, we possess a highly qualified and varied research staff available for complex, cross-disciplinary projects. The Crime, Violence, and Justice Research Program draws on diverse professional expertise in substance abuse, physical and mental health, employment and training, housing, survey research, education, and research computing. This versatile team of researchers, using both traditional and multidisciplinary approaches, is dedicated to building knowledge and informing policy and practice.
