Progressing from Evidence to Action | Justice Today

#JusticeTodayNIJ #policework #policymatters
A large body of research on crime and justice is available, yet it can take years for findings to influence practice in the field. During a recent panel at the #NIJ2023 National Research Conference, researchers and practitioners shared ideas and discussed practical steps and promising new approaches to inspire #appliedresearch. Three guests join the show to continue their conversation: Dr. Tamara Herold, a senior advisor to the NIJ director, Dr. Nancy La Vigne, hosts Dr. Shon Barnes, the police chief of the Madison, Wisconsin Police Department, and Dr. Kim DuMont, an expert in evidence-based policymaking and senior vice president of program at the William T. Grant Foundation.
