NIJ FY 08 ORE American Indian and Alaska Native Crime and Justice Issues

Over the years, NIJ has engaged in a number of research and evaluation efforts to better understand the criminal and juvenile justice problems in American Indian Alaska Native communities and the many challenges tribal nations and American Indians and Alaska Natives face. The goal of this solicitation is to fund research and evaluation that will provide much needed practical, measurable, and descriptive information on methods and efforts employed by American Indian Alaska Native communities and related criminal justice agencies in: providing victim services, addressing criminal justice issues, preventing and controlling crime and violence, and strengthening tribal justice systems in those communities.
