RELIABLE RESEARCH. REAL RESULTS.

Knowing what to do starts with knowing what works, and what hasn’t.
CrimeSolutions helps practitioners and policymakers understand what programs &
practices work in criminal and juvenile justice, victims assistance, school
safety, and youth mentoring.


CHANGES COMING TO CRIMESOLUTIONS

Read a message from NIJ Director Nancy La Vigne regarding some major changes to
the CrimeSolutions review process and website in the coming months.

CrimeSolutions’ ratings are assigned from standardized reviews of rigorous
evaluations and meta-analyses. While we encourage you to learn more about this
process, you don’t need to in order to benefit from it. Our clear ratings and
profiles can help you determine if a program or category of program is worth
pursuing.

RECENTLY RATED

Program Profile: Police Body-Worn Cameras (Boston, Massachusetts)
Program Summary: This involves police officers wearing cameras on their uniforms
to improve the civility of their interactions with citizens. The program is
rated Effective. There were statistically significant reductions in citizen
complaints against police and police use-of-force reports for officers who wore
cameras, compared with those who did not, and statistically significant
reductions in complaints against control officers in the treatment districts,
compared with officers in the untreated districts.



Program Profile: Imprisonment for Individuals Who Committed a Drunk Driving
Offense (New South Wales, Australia)
Program Summary: This involves prison time for individuals who have committed
drunk-driving offenses to reduce their risk of recidivism upon their release.
The program is rated No Effects. There was no statistically significant
difference between individuals in the treatment group (who received prison time)
and the comparison group (who received a suspended imprisonment sentence) on
reoffending with a driving-while-under-the-influence-of-alcohol offense within 6
months’, 24 months’, or 5 years’ time.



Program Profile: Prisoner Rehabilitation Authority Vocational Support and
Supervision Program (Israel)
Program Summary: This program provides community supervision and services to
individuals released early from prison to help them find employment and reduce
their recidivism. The program is rated Effective. Program participants were less
likely to be reincarcerated and had higher rates of integration into the
workforce, compared with individuals who did not participate in the program.
These differences were statistically significant.



Practice Profile: Mentoring Youth With Emotional and Behavioral Problems
Practice Summary: This practice encompasses programs that provide youths who
have emotional and behavioral problems with supportive relationships (generally
with older individuals who offer guidance and encouragement) to improve their
mental health outcomes. The practice is rated Effective for improving youths’
internalizing symptoms, externalizing symptoms, and interpersonal skills.



Program Profile: Young Adult Family Check-Up (YA-FCU)
Program Summary: The program focuses on the relationship between young adults
and their parents to prevent substance misuse and other high-risk behaviors and
enhance protective factors such as improving communication and strengthening
familial relationships, encouraging healthy peer and romantic relationships, and
promoting self-efficacy. The program is rated No Effects. It made no
statistically significant impact on reducing the risk level for a problematic
transition into young adulthood.



Program Profile: New Orientation for Reducing Threats to Health from
Secretive-problems That Affect Readiness (NORTH STAR)
Program Summary: This is a prevention planning and implementation system
designed to improve risk and protective factors, and reduce secretive problems,
in military communities. The program is rated No Effects. There were no
statistically significant differences between the bases assigned to NORTH STAR
and the comparison bases on measures of physical or emotional interpersonal
violence/partner abuse, physical or emotional child abuse, hazardous drinking,
suicidality, or prescription drug misuse.



Practice Profile: Mindfulness Training for Law Enforcement to Reduce
Occupational Impact
Practice Summary: This practice encompasses a wellness intervention that seeks
to reduce the negative impact of stress on police officers, to improve their
mental health outcomes. The practice is rated Effective for improving measures
of depression, anxiety, and burnout. The practice is rated No Effects for
improving measures of sleep quality.



Practice Profile: Police-Initiated Pedestrian Stops to Reduce Crime
Practice Summary: Police-initiated pedestrian stops involve police officers’
stopping, questioning, and investigating pedestrians on the street, usually
based on suspicion of criminal behavior or activity. Generally, the goal of the
stops is to prevent or reduce the occurrence of crime and disorder. The practice
is rated Promising for reducing measures of crime and displacement but was rated
No Effects for improving measures of mental and physical health of citizens who
were stopped by police.



Program Profile: Bringing in the Bystander High School Curriculum
Program Summary: The goal of this bystander-focused, classroom-delivered
curriculum is to reduce rates of interpersonal violence among high school
students. The program is rated No Effects. The program had no statistically
significant impact on various measures of interpersonal violence, victim
empathy, and measures of proactive bystander behavior. There was a statistically
significant decrease for the treatment group in bystander denial about the role
students could play in preventing interpersonal violence.



Program Profile: Explore, Question, Understand, Investigate and Practice, Plan,
Succeed (EQUIPS) Domestic Abuse Program (New South Wales, Australia)
Program Summary: This program targets behavior changes in men who have committed
a domestic violence offense, to reduce their risk of reoffending. The program is
rated Promising. Men in the treatment group had statistically significant
reductions in their rate of reconvictions and time to both their first violent
and general reconvictions, compared with men in the control group. There were no
statistically significant differences between groups in general or domestic
violence reoffending within 12 months.
