CEBCP in Newsweek, Time
The Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy is housed within the
Administration of Justice Department at George Mason University.
CEBCP Mission
The Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy (CEBCP), housed within the Administration of Justice Department, seeks to make scientific research a key component in decisions about crime and justice policies by advancing rigorous studies in criminal justice and criminology and proactively serving as an informational link to practitioners and the policy community.
Research Excellence
CEBCP engages in a wide variety of projects, including primary research on criminological and criminal justice issues as well as evaluation of interventions for outcome effectiveness. Of special interest to the center are:
-
a place-based focus on explaining crime and developing criminal
justice interventions;
-
using rigorous methods (especially experimentation) to evaluate
and assess crime prevention interventions; and
- actively seeking out avenues to disseminate information to the public, practitioners, and policy community.
