Very Good (offecial Resource ) For researches about Crimes

here is Summary and A nice research they Made

About Link

NIJ is the research, development and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice.

We are dedicated to improving knowledge and understanding of crime and justice issues through science. We provide objective and independent knowledge and tools to inform the decision-making of the criminal and juvenile justice communities to reduce crime and advance justice, particularly at the state and local levels.

We accomplish our mission through the “Listen, Learn, Inform” model — we “listen” to the needs of the field; “learn” ways to meet those needs by funding research, development, and evaluation projects; and then “inform” the field of what we learned. Download and share a handout.

Listen, Learn, Inform

Listen —

Improving our ability to understand and respond to crime and justice challenges begins with listening to the field. NIJ regularly engages with criminal and juvenile justice researchers and professionals to learn from their expertise and gather information on what knowledge, tools, and resources are necessary to reduce crime and advance justice.

Input about crime-fighting successes, failures, and needs gathered directly from practitioners, policymakers, and researchers helps guide our research investments and standards development.

The research objectives for each of NIJ’s portfolios are determined also by:

  • Existing research.
  • The successes and struggles of programs undertaken by other federal agencies, including other Office of Justice Programs bureaus and offices.
  • Administration priorities.

Learn —

We invest in research across scientific disciplines to provide evidence-based knowledge to strengthen the justice system. Researchers, students, and justice professionals have the opportunity to apply for research and development funding through NIJ solicitations, fellowships, and challenges.

To support our strategic and overarching research goals, we develop strategic research plans on topics within crime and justice that span our three science offices. These plans build off of existing research; input from practitioners, policymakers, and researchers; and the priorities of Congress and the Administration.

We use two main mechanisms to implement research: funding external research and conducting intramural research.

Throughout this process, we follow widely accepted scientific processes and procedures to help ensure the validity and integrity of our research.

Inform —

NIJ’s scientific investments inform the national conversation on issues of criminal and juvenile justice and public safety. Evidence-based knowledge can lead to more effective justice policy and practices, new technologies, and better scientific techniques. We are committed to providing the justice community with the knowledge and tools necessary to reduce crime and advance justice.

The results of research projects are evaluated by external peer reviewers and NIJ’s own science staff.

After NIJ has evaluated the results of the funded research, it is disseminated through multiple channels as part of our mission to (1) give policymakers and practitioners the best available evidence to make decisions and (2) build knowledge that advances both science and practice.

In addition, awardees and NIJ scientists are encouraged and expected to publish results of their work in peer-reviewed journals.

Data resulting from research typically is submitted to National Archive of Criminal Justice Data. Making data available allows researchers to test each other’s conclusions and possibly provide new conclusions.

NIJ-funded program evaluations also may be reviewed, rated, and posted to CrimeSolutions — an NIJ-funded project that uses rigorous research to determine what works, what doesn’t, and what’s promising.

We also strive to ensure eligible entities take advantage of our laboratory enhancement programs and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs).

PART 2

NIJ — the research, development and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice — is dedicated to improving knowledge and understanding of crime and justice issues through science. NIJ provides objective and independent knowledge and tools to inform the decision-making of the criminal justice community to reduce crime and advance justice, particularly at the state and local levels. 

NIJ’s pursuit of this mission is guided by the following principles:

  • Research can make a difference in individual lives, in the safety of communities and in creating a more effective and fair justice system.
  • Government-funded research must adhere to processes of fair and open competition guided by rigorous peer review.
  • NIJ’s research agenda must respond to the real world needs of victims, communities and criminal justice professionals.
  • NIJ must encourage and support innovative and rigorous research methods that can provide answers to basic research questions as well as practical, applied solutions to crime.
  • Partnerships with other agencies and organizations, public and private, are essential to NIJ’s success.

NIJ’s leadership offices include:

  • Office of Director  — establishes the agency’s objectives, which are guided by the needs of the criminal justice system and the priorities of the U.S. Department of Justice. 
  • Office of the Principal Deputy Director — the Principal Deputy Director serves as the senior management official and advisor to the NIJ Director and provides direction and guidance to the Offices of the Deputy Director and Executive Science Officer and their subordinate offices.
  • Office of the Deputy Director — the Deputy Director is the primary integrating and strategic focal point of the NIJ staff, with responsibility for overseeing the activities under NIJ’s Office of Communications and Operations and Office of Grants Management. The Deputy Director also assists the NIJ Director and Principal Deputy Director with other management aspects of NIJ staffing, programs, and mission requirements.
  • Office of the Executive Science Advisor — the Executive Science Advisor provides guidance and direction on scientific matters to the NIJ Director and Principal Deputy Director, and expertise for an array of research and evaluation activities (e.g., process, outcome, impact), methods, and techniques.

NIJ’s science offices include:

  • Office of Investigative and Forensic Sciences — improves the quality and practice of forensic science through innovative solutions that support research and development, testing and evaluation, technology, and information exchange. 
  • Office of Research, Evaluation, and Technology — encourages and supports research, development and evaluation to further the understanding of causes and correlates of crime and violence; methods of crime prevention and control; and criminal justice system responses to crime and violence.

NIJ’s support offices include:

  • Office of Communications and Operations — works closely with all NIJ colleagues and grantees to move NIJ-generated knowledge and tools into the hands of those working in criminal justice professions; and provides leadership in the planning, development, management and administration of all lines of business.
  • Office of Grants Management — works in conjunction with NIJ’s scientists and award recipients throughout the grant lifecycle to facilitate the successful completion of grant-funded projects.
