CJCJ’s rigorous research examines national crime trends and policing practices. We help people understand what’s happening with crime and policing in their communities. We often provide statewide analysis of arrest and crime rates, alongside regional comparisons across counties around issues influencing (or impacting) incarceration. This includes analysis of law enforcement priorities, efficiency, and spending. Our work promotes transparency, accountability, and safety. Here are CJCJ’s reports on crime trends and policing issues.
