The Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy (CEBCP) at George Mason University works to strengthen the use of scientific research in crime and justice policy and practice. The Center conducts and translates rigorous research on policing, crime prevention and criminal justice, while developing practical tools that help practitioners apply evidence in real-world settings. Through initiatives such as the Evidence-Based Policing Matrix, research partnerships, training and knowledge exchange, CEBCP helps connect research with operational decision-making and advances evidence-based approaches to policing and public safety.
