BJA NTTAC provides resources, tools, and other support to help prosecutors, judges, and court personnel develop new approaches to adjudication in order to clear cases, decrease dockets, and lower recidivism.

Our Work

  • BJA NTTAC worked with the Crime and Justice Institute to assist the New York Association of Pretrial Service Agencies and the New York City Criminal Justice Agency by examining pretrial services utilization and practices in the state. The Crime and Justice Institute developed an action plan for improving practices statewide. Learn more about this adjudication work in New York.
  • Dane County (WI) Community Restorative Court reached to BJA NTTAC for peer support from one of BJA NTTAC’s providers to learn best practices for program implementation. To facilitate this peer-to-peer support, five members from the Dane County Community Restorative Courts, including a representative from the community, spent two days with our provider to discuss changes Dane County was interested in implementing. Following the site visit, the Community Restorative Court began implementing policies and practices learned from their peer relationship with the BJA NTTAC provider.
