Office of Science and Technology A Little Bit of Background Who is NIJ? NIJ is the research and development agency of the U.S. Department of Justice and is the only Federal agency solely dedicated to researching crime control and justice issues. NIJ provides objective, independent, non-partisan, evidence- based knowledge and tools to meet the challenges of crime and justice, particularly at the State and local levels. NIJ's principal authorities are derived from the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended (42 USC § ). In partnership with others, NIJ's mission is to prevent and reduce crime, improve law enforcement and the administration of justice, and promote public safety. By applying the disciplines of the social and physical sciences, NIJ researches the nature and impact of crime and delinquency; develops applied technologies, standards and tools for criminal justice practitioners; evaluates existing programs and responses to crime; tests innovative concepts and program models in the field; assists policymakers, program partners, and justice agencies; and disseminates knowledge to many audiences.
