• Develop new technologies to fIght crime and improve criminal justice. • Evaluate the effectiveness of criminal justice programs and identify programs that promise to be successful if continued or repeated.

• Recommend actions that can be taken by Federal, State, and local governments as well as private organizations to improve criminal justice.

• Cany out research on criminal behavior. • Develop new methods of crime prevention and reduction of crime and delinquency. The National Institute of Justice has a long history of accomplisiunents, including the following: •

•

Research that confirmed the link between drugs and crime.

•

The research and development program that resulted in the creation of police body armor that has meant the difference between life and death to hundreds of police officers.

•

Pioneering scientific advances such as the research and development of DNA analysis to positively identify suspects and eliminate the innocent from suspicion.

•

The evaluation of innovative justice programs to determine what works, including drug enforcement, community policing, community anti-drug initiatives, prosecution of complex drug cases, drug testing throughout the criminal justice system, and user accountability programs.

•

Creation of a corrections information-sharing system that enables State and local officials to exchange more efficient and cost-effective concepts and techniques for planning, financing, and constructing new prisons and jails.

•

Operation of the world's largest criminal justice information clearinghoust:, a resource used by State and local officials across the Nation and by criminal justice agencies in foreign countries.

The Institute Director, who is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, establishes the Institute's objectives, guided by the priorities of the Office of Justice Programs, the Department of Justice, and the needs of the criminal justice field.

The following types of organizations are not included in the Directory: •
