For more than a decade, NIJ’s annual conference has brought together criminal justice scholars, policymakers, and practitioners at the local, state, and federal levels to share the most recent findings from research and technology.
The conference showcases what works, what doesn't work, and what the research shows as promising. It puts a heavy emphasis on the benefits to researchers and practitioners who work together to create effective evidence-based policies and practices. The DNA Grantees Workshop, formerly a separate event, is now an integral part of the NIJ Conference. Combining the former DNA Grantees Workshop with the NIJ Conference allows us to feature innovations in forensic sciences and related policy and resource issues.
The NIJ Conference also features opportunities for practitioners, researchers, and presenters to exchange ideas, including a "Town Hall" luncheon and several evening activities.
Who Should Attend
- Researchers interested in criminal justice
- Policymakers responsible for shaping public safety or social services
- Practitioners in criminal justice interested in technology and DNA
