Project Summary: Discussion 2: Policy Project Check-In Professionals in the field of criminal justice with expertise in research may have opportunities to make policy recommendations that can facilitate valuable changes to criminal justice policy and practice. To ensure that their recommendations have the most beneficial impact possible, criminal justice professionals and policymakers can evaluate a number of evidence-based alternatives. However, even after professionals and policymakers have carefully weighed alternatives to make recommendations they are likely to receive both positive and negative feedback and suggestions. Experienced professionals may improve even a solid recommendation through engaging in collegial dialogue and making revisions based upon feedback. This week, you gain valuable experience making a policy recommendation and engaging in such dialogue.
