Objective
Goal:
Under the enacted appropriations language, the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI), helps states identify and respond to crime and other public safety problems, explore evidence-based or innovative and cost-saving strategies, and to invest in strategies that can decrease crime and reduce recidivism.
Objective:
The Justice Reinvestment Initiative currently funds two streams of work: state-based technical assistance and site-based grant awards.
State-based JRI technical assistance supports states’ justice system stakeholders and policy leaders as they devise and implement data-driven approaches to reduce crime and recidivism, including operationalizing data results to reduce violent crime and supporting state and local agencies in their efforts to do the same. Under the JRI model, a governmental working group with bipartisan and inter-branch representation analyzes the crime, recidivism, and corrections data, and its associated costs, then develops cost- effective policy and practice options, and implements and measures those changes.
The Justice Reinvestment: Reducing Crime by Improving Justice System Performance grant program allows eligible applicants to apply for funding to develop and implement innovative and research-based responses that address a range of criminal justice system problems. Successful applicants are expected to follow the five-step JRI process to meet their objectives: engage stakeholders; analyze data and the current landscape; develop a plan, procedures, and strategies; implement responses; and measure outcomes.
