Evidence-Based Crime Policy

Evidence-Based Crime Policy involves making criminal justice decisions grounded in rigorous research and proven data, rather than assumptions or political influences. It uses scientific methods—like studies and evaluations—to determine which strategies effectively reduce crime, improve safety, and allocate resources efficiently. This approach aims to implement policies supported by solid evidence, ensuring that efforts to prevent and address crime are as effective as possible because they are based on real-world results and reliable information rather than guesswork.
