Introduction

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) strives to provide criminal justice leadership and resources to support local, state, and tribal justice strategies to achieve safer communities. In pursuit of this mission, BJA has worked with countless criminal justice and public safety organizations and experts to provide rapid, expert, coordinated, and data-driven training and technical assistance (TTA). The provision of these services is made possible through assistance from organizations with specialized knowledge of the criminal justice field. These providers understand how to help state, local, or tribal jurisdictions improve public safety.

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Provider Directory is a new resource designed to condense the list of experts and organizations currently funded by BJA to provide TTA into one directory to encourage communication and collaboration among BJA, TTA providers, and the field. The BJA TTA Provider Directory is an easy-to-use guide containing a comprehensive list of 100 BJA grantees. It is designed to be a quick reference guide on key information about these BJA partners that can be shared and accessed electronically. While all information reflects services which the organization has been funded by BJA to provide for the field, the information is self-reported and does not reflect an endorsement by BJA or the Department of Justice. However, the details, which include provider descriptions, criminal justice program areas, and implemented BJA-funded projects will allow for enhanced collaboration among BJA and criminal justice stakeholders and facilitate the coordination of TTA services. The TTA services that are funded by BJA are free of charge for criminal justice stakeholders. We hope you find the BJA TTA Provider Directory to be a useful tool.

AEquitas: The Prosecutor Resource on Violence Against WomenAEquitas

AEquitas’ mission is to improve the quality of justice in sexual violence, intimate partner violence, stalking, and human trafficking cases by developing, evaluating, and refining prosecution practices that increase victim safety and offender accountability. AEquitas’ staff includes former prosecutors who provide 24/7 case consultation; conduct legal research; deliver live and web-based trainings; and publish articles, monographs, and other resources. AEquitas’ guiding philosophy is that success in criminal cases means achieving justice, which the U.S. Supreme Court has defined as an outcome in which the guilty do not escape and the innocent do not suffer. The prosecutor’s mandate to seek justice “not only convictions“ requires practices that focus on protecting victims from offenders as well as from the collateral consequences of participating in the criminal justice process.

AEquitas has hosted and participated in more than 478 trainings throughout the United States, as well as 11 trainings in foreign countries, for more than 36,570 prosecutors and allied professionals.

AEquitas provides training focused on developing the knowledge and skills of prosecutors and allied professionals in order to increase the likelihood of positive trial outcomes in cases involving sexual assault, intimate partner violence, stalking, human trafficking, and related violent crimes. AEquitas has developed the curricula for and hosted several national and international training events. In addition, AEquitas and its staff are available to host or participate in on-site and web-based training events upon request.

AEquitas also hosts live webinars on complex topic areas, emerging issues, and promising practices related to the prosecution of violence against women. All webinars are recorded live and are archived for later viewing.

AEquitas has provided over 14,620 hours of technical assistance and case consultation to prosecutors and allied justice professionals.

AEquitas provides specialized assistance including, but not limited to, case consultation, legal research, identification of expert witnesses, recommendations for policy and protocol development, responses to media inquiries, and peer review of articles and other legal resources.

Center for the Study of Social PolicyCSSP

Using data, extensive community experience and a focus on results, the Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP):

• Promotes public policies that strengthen families and protect and lift children from poverty• Mobilizes a national network to promote optimal development of young children and to prevent

child abuse• Helps child welfare and other public human services systems improve their work and achieve race

equity for children and families in their care• Provides tools and resources so community leaders, schools and other health and human service

agencies can help parents secure jobs and achieve economic stability and ensure that young children are healthy and succeed in school

• Empowers community residents to be effective consumers of public and private services, securing better goods and services for themselves and their neighborhoods

• Joins with international organizations to share innovations and knowledge

At its core, CSSP is committed to several things:

It works in partnership with federal, state and local public agencies and with private sector organizations, foundations and community members. As resources dwindle and inequities grow – among income groups, across racial and ethnic lines – efforts to create opportunities for those in greatest need require many minds and hands working together.

CSSP also engages community residents so that their views and voices shape the work. It believes that public agencies, foundations and others trying to improve results for children and families must “co-invest” with the parents and community members - the true customers of this work.

With multiple partners, it’s important that all the work is results-focused. Commonly defined results help keep complex strategies on track, whether for community change or systems reform. A shared commitment to results keeps everyone more accountable and focused on making a difference.

Within all of its work, CSSP is committed to being an anti-racist organization - understanding, confronting and addressing inequities based on race, ethnicity, language capacity and more. CSSP is focused on better futures for all children and families.

Gideon’s Promise, Inc.

Our mission is to inspire, mobilize and train legal professionals to provide the highest quality defense representation to people unable to afford an attorney.

In 1963, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Gideon v. Wainright that state courts are required under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to provide counsel in criminal cases to represent defendants who are unable to afford to pay their own attorneys. That same year, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place in our nation’s capital. Both occurrences marked a monumental shift towards equality in the justice system and social infrastructure in our country.

Although 1963 was a pivotal year for civil and human rights, our jails and prisons are still populated with people who are not receiving quality presentation due to financial, structural and cultural changes needed in the criminal justice system. Many people in the system are overwhelmingly poor and disproportionately minorities. For them, Gideon’s promise remains unfulfilled and justice out of reach.

We are the only organization solely servicing public defenders in under resourced offices. We infuse a value based approach into our public defender training programs to change the culture of indigent defense through community building and comprehensive, ongoing training and support that creates the best public defenders in the country.

Integrated Justice Information Systems InstituteIJIS Institute

The IJIS Institute is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to joining forces with its Member companies to unite the private and public sectors for improving mission-critical information sharing. The IJIS Institute fosters relationships between industry and government by delivering services and facilitating programs that promote national information technology standards and improve information sharing across jurisdictions at all levels. The IJIS Institute accomplishes many of its activities through volunteer committees composed of Member companies and focused on national priorities and mission-critical initiatives, by providing low-cost or no-cost training and technical assistance engagements, and through speaking opportunities at national and regional conferences and meetings about technology issues and trends. The value of BJA’s Global information sharing standards is directly proportional to the level of adoption and use of those standards by commercial product and service providers. Understanding that private industry has a critical role in realizing the promise of reduced cost, improved scalability, and responsible information sharing across the justice and public safety enterprise, BJA has continued to advance the collaboration between the public and private sectors through its partnership with the IJIS Institute. In 2012, the IJIS Institute launched its Springboard Initiative (SBI). SBI is a standards-based interoperability program designed to expand and mature the adoption of standards by providing a national venue for system testing and reference implementations and enable more informed agency procurement selections by providing compliance testing and product certifications. After establishing governance, business processes, and infrastructure, Springboard implemented standards testing and certification for the Prescription Monitoring Information Exchange (PMIX). This testing proved critical to ensuring the interoperability of competing PMIX hubs which would have otherwise resulted in disparate and incompatible intrastate sharing solutions. BJA can now limit funding to only those solutions that enable full national prescription monitoring and management. The standards based technical solution minimizes customized local development and maximize agility and scalability helping justice and public safety agencies appropriately focus their limited resources.

The NCJRL focuses on issues relating to the criminal justice system and receives funding from the Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs. Its purpose is to promote justice, which appeals to basic notions of equality, equity, and fairness, and the “rule of law” which refers to the requirement that certain procedures and principles must be followed in each case to reach a correct result. Neither concept is sufficient; both must be utilized to ensure that the criminal justice system fulfills its function in society. The Center implements its mission through projects, conferences, educational programs, and publications that examine important criminal law and procedure issues.
