Abstract

NIJ supports research and evaluation across a wide variety of criminal and juvenile justice issues focused on the causes and correlates of crime. Violence prevention and response to victimization are research areas of particular interest. NIJ supported research under the many topics in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022, including domestic radicalization and violent extremism, violence against women, school safety, trafficking in persons, hate crimes, violent crime and firearm violence in the community, policing, corrections and reentry, administration of justice, juvenile justice, tribal crime and justice, victims of crime, and forensic science. NIJ informs the field through development of publications and other products to give policymakers and practitioners the best available evidence to make decisions and build knowledge that advances both science and practice. In FY 2022, work funded in whole or in part by NIJ resulted in the publication of 392 scholarly products, including peer-reviewed articles by NIJ grantees. Also in FY 2022, scholars cited NIJ products in peer-reviewed journals 1,238 times. This includes citations of NIJ-sponsored journal articles, NIJ reports, and publications in peer-reviewed journals.
