Crime Prevention

The Vera Institute of Justice has recently developed a guide to analyzing jail data to better inform impactful policy creation and social change.

The goal of the roundtable is to identify collaborative efforts that can help reduce violent crime and improve the capacity of prosecutors and law enforcement to hold offenders accountable. Attendees will also identify the steps necessary to replicate these efforts and discuss strategies to measure and evaluate their effectiveness. It is anticipated that the roundtable will include representatives from approximately twelve jurisdictions from across the nation.
