SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: In June 2008, the National Institute of Corrections awarded the Center for Effective Public Policy, in partnership with the Pretrial Justice Institute, the Justice Management Institute, and The Carey Group, a cooperative agreement to address evidence-Based decisionmaking in local criminal justice systems. The goal of the initiative is to build a systemwide framework that will result in more collaborative, evidence-based decisionmaking in local criminal justice systems. The initiative is grounded in the accumulated knowledge of two decades of research on the factors that contribute to criminal re-offending and the processes and methods the justice system can employ to interrupt the cycle of re-offense. The effort seeks to equip criminal justice policymakers in local communities with the information, processes, and tools that will result in a measurable reduction of pretrial misconduct and postconviction reoffending. The principle product of the initial 18-month phase of the initiative is A Framework for Evidence-Based Decisionmaking in Local Criminal Justice Systems (the Framework), which is designed to advance constructive change in local level criminal justice decisionmaking. The Framework describes key criminal justice decisions, evidence-based knowledge about effective justice practices, and practical local level strategies for applying risk and harm reduction principles and techniques. A copy of the EvidenceBased Decisionmaking Framework document can be downloaded online at https://www.cepp.com/ebdm. A key component of the Framework is the Evidence-Based Decisionmaking Logic Model, which represents the theory underlying the Framework. The logic model addresses the implementation of the Framework at the ‘‘system’’ level of the criminal justice system. It is built upon the four principles underlying the Framework and outlines the logical flow of both the processes and activities involved in its implementation. The logic model also demonstrates the expected harm reduction impacts that will result from these processes and activities. The logic model is located on page 31 of the Framework document.
