Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy
                                       in the Administration of Justice Department

CEBCP Mission

The Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy seeks to make scientific research central 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 in the areas of policing and corrections; and
   
• actively seeking out avenues to disseminate information to the public, practitioners, and policy community.    

 

The Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy is housed within the Administration of Justice Department at George Mason University.  Click HERE for more information about ADJ.
