Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA)
Purpose
Provides funding, training, and technical assistance to community supervision agencies to build capacity, reduce recidivism, and improve outcomes for individuals under supervision. Utilizes research-informed strategies and data to engage stakeholders in collaborative problem-solving to enhance responses to client behavior and improve public safety. For this opportunity, community supervision includes adult probation, parole, or pretrial supervision or their equivalents such as prosecutor-led post-adjudication diversion.
Objectives include:
- Identify a target population for the proposed project using a collaborative, data-driven process that is responsive to local circumstances
- Develop and implement supervision strategies based on principles of swiftness, certainty, and/or fairness, including responses to both positive and negative client behaviors
- Reduce recidivism and improve outcomes for people under supervision
- Evaluate strategies' effectiveness in reducing recidivism and improving outcomes through an external research partner
Proposed projects may seek to impact an entire supervision population or a subset of it, such as people under pretrial supervision, probationers and parolees at moderate to high risk to re-offend, young adult and/or female probation clients, and parolees with opioid use disorder.
Past examples of implemented collaborative supervision strategies include expanding access to behavioral health and substance use disorder interventions, such as evidence-based treatment services and recovery housing.
