NIJ Conference 2007

Plan now to attend the NIJ Conference 2007, July 23-25, 2007, at the Marriott Crystal Gateway in Arlington, Virginia

NIJ's annual conference brings together criminal justice scholars, policymakers, and practitioners at the local, State, and Federal levels to share the most recent findings from research and technology.

The conference showcases what works, what doesn't work, and what the research shows as promising. New developments in technology that increases public safety will be featured. The conference puts a heavy emphasis on the benefits to researchers and practitioners who work together to make effective evidence-based policies and practices.

This year's keynote speaker is Jan Burke, critically acclaimed writer and author of the Irene Kelly mystery series. Ms. Burke has won the Edgar® Award for Best Novel and founded the Crime Lab Project, a group of crime writers, friends, and readers concerned about the gap between the public's beliefs about the current state of forensic science and the reality faced by labs and coroners' offices throughout the country.
