Evidence Based Practices
Resources to Find Evidence-Based Programs
On this page we provide links to websites and online reports featuring listings and assessments of evidence about effective practices and programs. They are provided here as resources for criminal justice practitioners, planners, and policymakers. The websites are organized in diverse ways. Some of the links overlap; some of them include information about evidence-based practices in other areas besides criminal justice.
PEW Charitable Trusts Results First Initiative - The PEW Charitable Trusts is working with select counties across California to help officials make cost-effective criminal justice decisions that are evidence based. Under the Results First Initiative, the national nonprofit has set up extensive databases to assist policymakers in making informed decisions, especially regarding rehabilitative programs that are proven to work when offered with fidelity. The databases are available here for all to use: http://www.pewtrusts.org/en/multimedia/data-visualizations/2015/results-first-clearinghouse-database
