Justice Counts - Directors Meeting

SESSION INFO

Tuesday, August 30, 2022
2:15 PM - 3:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop

BJA and the CSG Justice Center invite agencies to join us for a discussion about Justice Counts! Justice Counts is a consensus-building initiative of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of Justice Assistance led by The Council of State Governments Justice Center and an unprecedented coalition of 21 partner organizations. We believe that safety and justice deserve better data. An essential step in realizing this goal is the adoption of criminal justice metrics that provide timely, consistent data to policymakers and their communities. Consensus-driven metrics that account for variation in data collection, analysis, and reporting and that provide key insights on system trends, operations, and outcomes across all criminal justice sectors are a new and crucial resource for the field. Directors Meeting: Agency leaders are invited to help craft a technical assistance strategy to help supervision agencies implement Justice Counts metrics, including discussion of the resources needed to facilitation adoption of the metrics and tools that can help propagate use of the metrics by agency leaders and policymakers. Please RSVP to justicecounts@csg.org.
