Overview
• NIJ – The new home for CrimeSolutions.gov• Building “cumulative knowledge”• About CrimeSolutions.gov– Our core mission: Informing practice and policy– Our methods for building a rigorous evidence
base • consistent evidence standard• transparent criteria
• New meta-analysis module
![Page 6: CrimeSolutions: Your Source for Criminal Justice Research Evidence](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815f30550346895dcdfedb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The National Institute of Justice
• The research, development, test, and evaluation agency within the U.S. Department of Justice
• Three science offices:– Forensic science– Physical/material sciences– Social/behavioral sciences
• AND – the new home for CrimeSolutions.gov

NAS Report on NIJ (2010): “Cumulative knowledge”
• … the National Institute of Justice should direct its efforts toward building a body of cumulative knowledge that will assist the criminal justice field in its effort to prevent and control crime and improve the criminal justice system….
![Page 10: CrimeSolutions: Your Source for Criminal Justice Research Evidence](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815f30550346895dcdfedb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What “Cumulative Knowledge” might Mean for the Practitioner• Wide-ranging knowledge:
– “Tell me everything I need to know about ‘Topic X’ ”
• Comprehensive program knowledge:– “ Detailed Owner’s Manual for Program X”
• Knowledge against every eventuality:– A complete bookshelf of Owner’s Manuals
Cumulative knowledge may not be something we deliver to practitioners, but rather a process in which we engage practitioners.

Evidence-generatingPolicy and Practice --
THE GOAL: To engage the practitioner inan ongoing process of test, refutation, proof, the accumulation of evidence, and the continuous improvement of programs and processes
“Program development and adaptation” v. “Program selection”

“Practices”
“A Practice is a general category of programs, strategies, or procedures that share similar characteristics with regard to the issues they address and how they address them. Practice profiles tell us about the average results from multiple evaluations of similar programs, strategies, or procedures. The programs, strategies, or procedures within a practice are similar because they share certain defining characteristics that are described for each practice profile on CrimeSolutions.gov. Thus, practice profiles tell us the average result across multiple evaluations. A hypothetical question that might be answered by a practice profile is: Does mentoring usually achieve its goals?”

The Importance of CS Practices
• Expands “name-brand” programs by providing evidence on basic, more generic program activities
• Acknowledges the way evidence accumulates across similar programs
• Encourages a more sophisticated approach to selecting programs and solving problems
• Provides researchers with stronger incentives to conduct rigorous evaluations

Challenges
• How quickly can we populate the new module with (meta-analysis-based) Practices?
• What will users (particularly practitioners) make of the new Practices module?
• Influence on the research field and production of MAs?
