Crimesolutions.gov website launched

The U.S. Justice Department, Office of Justice Programs has just launched a new website: www.crimesolutions.gov - it aims to be a central, credible resource to inform practitioners and policymakers in the U.S. about what works in criminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services. The site includes information on more than 150 justice-related programs and assigns "evidence ratings" – effective, promising, or no effects -- to indicate whether there is evidence from research that a program achieves its goals. Areas covered include: corrections; courts; crime prevention; substance abuse; juveniles; law enforcement; technology and forensics; and victims.
