Description

Incapacitation is an important public safety policy, but it is not a complete strategy. Given the social and financial costs of incarceration, NIJ is interested in supporting research and evaluation efforts that will advance the development of effective and cost-efficient alternatives to jail and prison for convicted adult offenders that do not jeopardize public safety. NIJ maintains research portfolios that span criminal courts, community corrections, and science and technology interests. These are developed in consultation with research, practice, and policy experts, such as multidisciplinary working groups. This research solicitation represents an opportunity to integrate approaches from a variety of disciplines to inform sentencing and community corrections policies and practices.
