Evaluation of the Multi-site Demonstration Field Experiment: What Works in Reentry Research
As part of a collaborative effort with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to implement and rigorously test important criminal justice interventions and programs, NIJ seeks proposals to support a randomized controlled trial program evaluation as part of a multi-site Demonstration Field Experiment (DFE) on prisoner reentry. The rigorous multi-site DFE is part of NIJ’s reentry evaluation activities supported with funding under the Second Chance Act of 2007 (SCA). The purpose of the SCA is to provide effective solutions for managing the increasing number of people who are released from jail and prison into communities and the subsequent challenges communities face as offenders attempt to reintegrate into society.
