I look forward to working with my colleagues in both the public and private sectors from across the nation as we work together to improve the criminal justice system during these challenging times.
NCJA works to promote a balanced approach to communities' complex public safety and criminal justice system problems by coordinating juvenile justice, criminal justice, and other federal programs to use limited federal funds most effectively.
