BJA FY 14 Visiting Fellows Program
BJA’s mission is to provide leadership and services through grant administration and criminal justice policy development to support local, state, and tribal justice strategies to achieve safer communities.
Driving BJA's work in the field is the following principles:
to reduce crime, recidivism, and unnecessary confinement, and promote a safe and fair criminal justice system.
To implement our strategies consistent with these principles, BJA supports effective criminal justice policy, programs, information sharing, and collaborations within state, local, and tribal agencies and communities, and promotes the use of data, research, and information to increase the effectiveness of criminal justice programs.
BJA has four primary components:
Policy, Programs, Planning, and the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Office.
The Fellows will work in the Policy Office, which provides national leadership in criminal justice policy, training, and technical assistance to further the administration of justice.
It also acts as a liaison to national organizations that partner with BJA to set policy and help disseminate information on best and promising practices.
To address emerging issues and build capacity to improve the administration of criminal justice, BJA launched the BJA Visiting Fellows Program in FY201 2. The intent is to leverage state, local, or tribal subject-matter expertise to assess areas of need and to develop strategies, tools, and policies in collaboration with BJA staff for the benefit of the criminal justice field.
By hosting up to five Fellows with FY 2014 funds, BJA will collaborate with practitioners and researchers to build capacity to address gaps in priority and emerging issues in the criminal justice field.
BJA encourages potential applicants from a broad range of disciplines to consider how their work in areas related to crime and justice might support work in the BJA Visiting Fellows Program’s priority issue areas outlined below.
