Description
This grant program aims to help state, local, and tribal governments identify and address inefficiencies in their justice system operations. Funding supports projects that use data-driven approaches to pinpoint urgent local justice challenges—such as those involving law enforcement, prosecution, sentencing, corrections, or community supervision—and implement strategies to reduce crime and recidivism. The goal is to reallocate resources from ineffective practices to interventions and populations most likely to improve public safety and justice outcomes.
