Nat’l Inst. of Justice – Arlington, VA

The National Institute of Justice holds its annual conference June 15-17, 2009, in Arlington, VA. Advance registration has closed, but there will be on-site registration.

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.
