NIJ FY08 American Indian Alaska Native Crime and Justice Research and Criminal Justice Technology Assessment: The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is the research, development, and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice and a component of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). NIJ provides objective, independent, evidence-based knowledge and tools to enhance the administration of justice and public safety. NIJ solicits proposals to inform its search for the knowledge and tools to guide policy and practice. Over the years, NIJ has engaged in a number of research and evaluation efforts to better understand the criminal and juvenile justice problems in American Indian Alaska Native communities and the many challenges tribal nations and American Indians and Alaska Natives face. The goal of this solicitation is to fund research and evaluation that will provide much needed practical, measurable, and descriptive information on methods and efforts employed by American Indian Alaska Native communities and related criminal justice agencies in: providing victim services, addressing criminal justice issues, preventing and controlling crime and violence, and strengthening tribal justice systems in those communities.
