National Institute of Justice Releases Video on Research-Based Practices

NIJ connects local police jurisdictions with researchers and funding to develop more effective policing strategies; combining the experience of law enforcement practitioners with an academic perspective creates an environment for smart, evidence-based decision making. In "Using Research-Based Evidence in Your Jurisdiction," a new NIJ video, Prince George's County (Md.) Police Chief Hank Stawinski explains how research-based practices have helped reduce crime in his jurisdiction.
