Evidence-Based Interventions
This Report to Congress, funded by the National Institute of Justice, is a comprehensive review of decades of research on the effectiveness of every major crime reduction strategy supported by the U.S. Department of Justice. This resource is invaluable for anyone trying to allocate scarce prevention resources to interventions with the strongest evidence of effectiveness.
This study includes a table listing benefits, costs, and benefits per dollar of cost for 61 common evidence-based model programs.
