I penned an article in the latest issue of @ACAinfo #CorrectionsToday drawing on innovations from corrections practices abroad rooted in #RestorativeJustice. For all of you interested in transforming correctional culture, read & share nij.ojp.gov/topics/article… #SecondChanceMonth
As we close out #NCVRW2024, I encourage you to learn about @OJPNIJ's work to build knowledge on victims' services and victimization – essential knowledge to guide efforts to aid survivors and support effective prevention: nij.ojp.gov/topics/victims…
The forensic scientist’s toolbox is growing thanks to creative methods that generate reliable leads, analyze evidence, identify suspects, and solve cold cases. Read a @sciam op-ed by @NIJDirLaVigne about developments in forensic genealogy for #DNAday: scientificamerican.com/article/forens…
It's a travesty that there's little investment in #reentry research/programs that integrate gender-specific factors. Women's unique experiences must be taken into account if we're to aid their reentry process. Here's what we do know: nij.ojp.gov/topics/article… #SecondChanceMonth
.@VAForensicSci used NIJ-funding to improve workflow & efficiency for processing #SexualAssault DNA samples. This work could help reduce our nationwide backlog & potentially impact case outcomes & prosecutions. Learn more: nij.ojp.gov/topics/article… #DNADay2024 #DNADay #SAAM2024
Research & development in #ForensicDNA is the cornerstone of innovation for the field. Each #DNADay, we at @OJPNIJ celebrate how far we've come & look forward to where we're headed with the role of DNA in #JusticeForAll. Learn about this work: nij.ojp.gov/topics/forensi… #DNADay24
Thrilled to be at #NAWLEE2024 this week! This morning in my remarks I made sure folks knew about our #NIJLEADS program, which is currently accepting applications until Friday 5/3. We need more women integrating data and science into policing. nij.ojp.gov/funding/nijs-l… @NAWLEE
#NIJ2024 Research Conference Exhibitor Showcase applications are DUE SOON (4/30). Apply today: nij.ojp.gov/events/nij-202… #PublicSafey #CriminalJustice #Researcher
Applications of machine learning like this study are excellent examples of how cross-disciplinary efforts can improve justice outcomes. Identifying biases in crime reporting has significant implications that can help victims and their perceived credibility. #SAAM2024

We work alongside @OJPOJJDP and the #YouthJustice field to understand behaviors, system responses, and interventions that are most likely to promote positive outcomes for young people. Learn more for #NYVPW: nij.ojp.gov/topics/youth-j…
It’s Nat'l Crime Victims' Rights Week, and our @OJPOVC colleagues are leading the charge in raising awareness on how we can better support survivors of crime. Here’s their brief where you can find facts and stats on victimization in the U.S.: ovc.ojp.gov/ncvrw2024/help… #NCVRW2024
Our latest #NIJJournal article offers guidance for #CommunitySupervision orgs' strategic planning for reintegrating people convicted of violent extremism. Recs include leveraging available resources & partnerships like @lifeafterhate & @parentsforpeace: nij.ojp.gov/topics/article…
Still time to register for this webinar today on how to support women's reentry from incarceration. Pertinent for #ReentryWeek and beyond: nij.ojp.gov/events/support…
Very nice that @OJPNIJ sponsored the first sentinel event review in the federal criminal justice system. The review offers specific recommendations for a program that aims to support those re-entering society. A good #SecondChanceMonth read:

Excited to attend a reentry simulation today hosted by @ATJDOJ & @OfficialFBOP for #SecondChanceMonth. It's critical we listen to system-impacted experts to better understand challenges & barriers faced, such as employment, benefits, housing, transportation, and education.
With so many convenings we sponsor and partner on, there are bound to be scheduling conflicts. Ex: w/ #NIJ2024 happening during the same time as #IACA2024, we're spacing out NIJ's call for @crimeanalysts conf presentations to give you time to plan: nij.ojp.gov/events/nij-res…
For this 4/22 webinar, we're focusing on promising practices for women’s #reentry success, and how those are used in the field prior to and after release. @NIJDirLaVigne will be joined by @OfficialFBOP, @the_wji, and @thelohm: nij.ojp.gov/events/support… #SecondChanceMonth24

So important that @OJPNIJ NamUs collaborates w vulnerable populations—Native Americans, transgender individuals, communities of color, unhoused/housing insecure—to ensure they have support using NamUs resources. One of many activities in the annual report: nij.ojp.gov/library/public…
Next Monday 4/22, @OJPNIJ is hosting a #SecondChanceMonth webinar to discuss strategies for supporting women's #reentry. I'll be joined by @OfficialFBOP & founders of 2 wonderful orgs who share this mission, @the_wji & @thelohm. Register: nij.ojp.gov/events/support… #Pathways4Equity
