What is the EBDM Stuff
Why are we doing this
How did we build collaboration
![Page 3: Evidence-Based Decision Making (EBDM) Initiative ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040702/624c1c4f57e6f4333511955a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why EBDM?
• Growing body of evidence that can (and does) inform justice system agencies’ performance and increase effectiveness
• Historically, there have been demonstrations of successful approaches/changes within individual operating agencies around the country, not systemwide
• A primary perceived barrier is the lack of system collaboration around a common set of outcomes and principles
![Page 4: Evidence-Based Decision Making (EBDM) Initiative ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040702/624c1c4f57e6f4333511955a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Vision of the EBDM Initiative
• What if we create and test a “Framework” for evidence-based decision making that– brings partners together in a new way, a truly
collaborative way?– encourages these partners to find consensus around
what the justice system in their community – however large or small – hopes to achieve?
– led to a new way of making decisions – about individuals and about the system itself?

Through the EBDM Initiative we hoped to…
Affirmeffective practices

EBDM OVERARCHING GOAL
To create a framework for justice systems that will result in improved system outcomes
through true collaborative partnerships,
systematic use of research,
and a shared vision of desired outcomes.
“A permanent shift in expectations about what is possible.”--Joe McCannon, Wisconsin EBDM Summit, Jan 2014

Overview of Local Level EBDM 2008-2013• NIC began its sponsorship of the
Evidence-Based Decision Making in Local Criminal Justice Systems (EBDM) initiative in May 2008
• In Phase I, we built the EBDM “Framework”
• In August of 2010, NIC selected, on a competitive basis, seven local jurisdictions from across the country to participate in Phase II
• The same seven sites continued on to the Implementation Phase (Phase III)

NIC’s Goals for Phase V
• Assist state and local-level policy teams as they conduct a series of planning activities to implement systemwide change strategies that will – Align local and state jurisdictions with one another and
with the principles of EBDM– Assist teams in reaching their individual and collective
harm reduction goals
• By the end of Phase V, sites are expected to – have a fully developed strategic action plan for achieving
their change targets, and – to the extent possible, begin implementing change
strategies
![Page 26: Evidence-Based Decision Making (EBDM) Initiative ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040702/624c1c4f57e6f4333511955a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

What is the Phase V Roadmap?The Phase V roadmap is basically a tool…
– Designed for use by multidisciplinary criminal justice teams• Who have agreement about the EBDM Framework• Are committed to working together
– To help these teams build their capacity to engage in EBDM– To guide them through the Phase V planning process– Outlining a core set of activities to advance system
alignment– That breaks the planning process into concrete, discreet and
manageable steps– Ultimately for assisting teams in preparing for the
implementation of EBDM strategies to achieve their harm reduction goals (Phase V)
![Page 28: Evidence-Based Decision Making (EBDM) Initiative ...](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040702/624c1c4f57e6f4333511955a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Roadmap for Phase VPreparing to Implement the EBDM Framework at the State Level and Within Local Jurisdictions
Core Activities Likely Action Steps(Others may be added, where needed)
By the end of Phase V, the EBDM teams will have…
Build genuine, collaborative policy teams at the state and local levels.
Administer a policy team collaboration survey (one or more times).
Establish ground rules and operating norms. Develop a vision/mission statement for the
team’s work. Articulate roles and responsibilities of team
members. Assess readiness to engage in EBDM in terms
of both strengths and needs. Develop “One Less” individual (or similar)
statements and a team document that reflects these statements.
Take other steps to build/enhance the collaborative climate of the policy team.
Highly functioning collaborative policy teams at the state and local levels.
A vision/mission for each policy team.
Track records of meaningful team accomplishments.
Build a shared vision for EBDM in the state.
Engage in discussions with local EBDM representatives in an effort to develop a shared vision for achieving EBDM statewide.
A shared vision for the criminal justice system for achieving EBDM (i.e., spanning local and state-level decision points).
