Implementing Evidence-Based Policy Reform to Address Overcrowding in the Criminal Justice System

Draft a strategy proposal designed to effect change in the criminal justice system. The focus of this report is on the process / strategy to effect policy change, but students are expected to establish that their recommended policy change is evidence-based. The CJ Reform Proposal should be approximately ten pages and it should:

Identify and explain one contemporary criminal justice issue where current policies / laws misalign with scholarly evidence and develop an evidence-based policy solution (30 percent of the grade). Specifically, the proposal should rely purely on peer-reviewed literature as evidence to show the reader that the proposed policy will be better than the current one.

The majority of your proposal should focus on how to best implement the proposed crime policy. Proposals shall provide an evidence-based policy reform strategy based on the Criminal Justice Policy Action Logic Model that would increase the likelihood of policy adoption
