The Advancing Fairness and Transparency: National Guidelines for Post-Conviction Risk and Needs Assessment were developed to help policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and agency administrators make better decisions that support people’s success following a conviction. Developed by BJA and The Council of State Governments Justice Center as a project of the Public Safety Risk Assessment Clearinghouse, the guidelines promote fairness, accuracy, and transparency.
BJA is currently looking for candidates to work in the Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program team.
Participate in upcoming webinars from the Implementing Community Based Violence Intervention Strategies series.
