Developed by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center, Advancing Fairness and Transparency: National Guidelines for Post-Conviction Risk and Needs Assessment is a first-of-its-kind resource for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and agency administrators to help them make better decisions that support people's success following a conviction.
