Fighting for the Missing
In a new blog, NIJ outlines changes to the administration of the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)—a vital tool for investigators, forensics professionals, and the public. The program will soon be managed as a multi-year contract to meet the growing needs of the field, and secure its future, as we continue to fight for the nation’s missing.
The Latest Evidence on Violent Crime
At NIJ, we seek to discover the underlying causes and consequences of crime and violence. Ultimately, we hope that funding relevant research will inform policies and practices centered on evidence about what works to reduce the occurrence and impact of violent crimes. Our new NIJ Journal explores some of the latest evidence we’ve funded in this portfolio.
Defining Evidence-Based Policing
NIJ’s new feature, Term of the Month, promotes research-based definitions of criminal justice terminology. This month, we’re defining Evidence-Based Policing — the intersection of policing and science — and sharing several recent NIJ resources to advance the field of policing.
