Our Scientific Implementation Approach

For decades, research has focused on developing evidence-based practices to produce better outcomes for people. However, in recent years, public policy and granting entities have begun to focus on requirements that criminal justice agencies and community programs adopt and implement them as a matter of law. While many improvements in the quality and adoption of evidence-based interventions have been made, we are discovering that there remains a gap between what programs are intended to do and the outcomes they produce. No matter how strong the science behind the practice, people and communities cannot benefit from the intervention if it is not implemented as intended. ACJI brings expertise to your organization’s implementation efforts to maximize program impact and demonstrate outcomes.
