The Bureau of Justice Assistance's National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC) invites you to participate in January's webinar on evidence-based practices and programs, as a part of our Second Tuesdays at 2 webinar series. There is a growing interest in criminal justice in the identification and use of evidence-based practices and programs (EBPs). While a number of practices and programs have been identified, less is known about the implementation and sustainability of EBPs. The panelists in this webinar will discuss how states and localities can identify, implement, and sustain criminal justice EBPs. The webinar will be moderated by Dr. Mary Poulin and is supported by the Justice Research and Statistics Association. Panelists include: Mr. Craig Prins, Mr. Roger Przybylski, and Mr. Phillip Stevenson.
