Reflecting on my Time as Director So Far — And Envisioning the Future
NIJ recently celebrated a milestone birthday — 50 years of scientific efforts to advance the field of criminal justice. Now is a great time for us to look back at all that we’ve accomplished. You can read about some of our most groundbreaking research and accomplishments in the 50th Anniversary Issue of the NIJ Journal.

Director’s Corner: Advancing Evidence-Based Policing
This year NIJ celebrates its fiftieth anniversary. This anniversary has been an opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come. Fifty years ago, 911, hot spot policing, and license plate reader technology didn’t exist. We should be proud of how far we’ve come.
The concept of evidence-based practice has been on the rise over the past decade, but there is still a dramatic need for more research.
