STAKEHOLDER FORUM Applying Evidence-Based Practices Across Pennsylvania
The purpose of the Stakeholder Forums held in January 2022, was to advance evidence-based practices (EBP) across Pennsylvania’s criminal justice system stakeholder groups by examining the core areas of EBP that produce the greatest reductions in recidivism. The forums set the stage for Regional Planning Workshops scheduled for the fall of 2022.
