Director's Message: Identifying Alternatives to Exclusionary School Disciplinary Practices
"...it is imperative that we have effective ways of dealing with students’ behavior problems that do not disproportionately impact students of color."
Domestic Radicalization and Terrorism
Countering and preventing terrorism is a primary concern for state and local law enforcement agencies as well as the federal government. Terrorists are those who support or commit ideologically motivated violence to further political, social or religious goals. The goal of NIJ’s work on terrorism is to provide community leaders with evidence-based practices for bolstering resilience and developing communitywide responses that can prevent and mitigate threats posed by terrorists.
