The Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy (CEBCP) seeks to make scientific research a key component in decisions about crime and justice policies.
CEBCP engages in primary research on criminological and criminal justice issues, evaluations of justice interventions, and studies of knowledge translation. Of special interest to the center are:
-a place-based focus on explaining crime and developing criminal justice interventions;
-developing translation tools to improve communication between research and practice;
-using experimental and other rigorous methods to evaluate justice programs;
-building collaboration with practitioners; and
-actively seeking out avenues to disseminate information to the public
The Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy (CEBCP), housed within the Department of Criminology, Law and Society at George Mason University, seeks to make scientific research a key component in decisions about crime and justice policies by advancing rigorous studies in criminal justice and criminology through research-practice collaborations, and proactively serving as an informational link to practitioners and the policy community. CEBCP is the home of "Translational Criminology."
