About CrimeSolutions.govThe National Institute of Justice's CrimeSolutions.gov is comprised of two components - a web-based clearinghouse of programs and practices and a process for identifying and rating those programs and practices.CrimeSolutions.gov does not constitute an endorsement of particular programs or practices. Furthermore, it is not intended to replace or supersede informed judgment and/or innovation. We recognize that rigorous evaluation evidence is one of several factors to consider in justice programming, policy, and funding decisions. We also recognize the importance of encouraging and supporting innovative approaches that may not yet have extensive evidence of effectiveness.National Institute of JusticeNIJ_ecb00320-af36-11e9-bfb2-1557661fbb85Office of Justice ProgramsU.S. Department of JusticeCriminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services outcomes are achieved_ecb003ac-af36-11e9-bfb2-1557661fbb85To offer solutions to crime_ecb00424-af36-11e9-bfb2-1557661fbb85ClearinghousePresent programs and practices that have undergone rigorous evaluations and meta-analyses._ecb0049c-af36-11e9-bfb2-1557661fbb851The clearinghouse, accessible via the CrimeSolutions.gov website, present programs and practices that have undergone rigorous evaluations and meta-analyses.EvidenceAssesses the strength of the evidence about whether programs achieve criminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services outcomes._ecb0050a-af36-11e9-bfb2-1557661fbb851.1The site assesses the strength of the evidence about whether these programs achieve criminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services outcomes in order to inform practitioners and policy makers about what works, what doesn't, and what's promising.ProcessIdentify, screen, review, and rate programs and practices._ecb00582-af36-11e9-bfb2-1557661fbb852The programs and practices presented on CrimeSolutions.gov are identified, screened, reviewed, and rated using a standardized process... In this process, we consider rigorous evaluations and meta-analyses that result in a rating on the site to be strong "evidence" along a continuum in which we look at both the evidence - which tells us how certain we can be of the outcomes - and the direction of the evidence - was the program Effective, Promising , or No Effects. While the evidence that results in rated programs and practices is considered to be the strongest evidence, a continuum of evidence also identifies which programs and practices may have some evidence but it is either emerging, inconclusive, or unclear.Meta-AnalysesReview programs based on meta-analyses synthesizing evaluations._ecb005fa-af36-11e9-bfb2-1557661fbb852.1Programs are reviewed based on evaluations and practices based on meta-analyses that synthesize different evaluations, but those evaluations have to be sufficiently rigorous.ReviewersEnsure that each program and practice is reviewed by two certified reviewers._ecb00672-af36-11e9-bfb2-1557661fbb852.2Each screened program and practice is reviewed by two certified reviewers using objective scoring instruments. Ratings are assigned based on the consensus score, which is subject to a documented dispute resolution process when necessary.2019-07-25https://crimesolutions.gov/About.aspxOwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
