About Us
The Center for Criminal Justice Statistics (CCJS) is a consulting agency committed to generating evidence-based insights regarding crime and justice-related issues for lawyers, non-profit organizations, and governmental entities. We support clients in designing, collecting, analyzing, and reporting research to help reach them their goals regarding civil/criminal litigation, program evaluation/implementation, or policy analysis/design. Our statistical consultants have completed graduate-level work at elite universities and pride themselves on efficiently analyzing and summarizing statistical analyses in lay terms that are accessible to judges, jurors, or policymakers in the form of white papers, declarations, or expert testimony.
Some criminal justice agencies are unaware of the vast data they might already have or publicly available data in their jurisdiction that could be leveraged to generate evidence-based solutions to vexing policy concerns. Likewise, some lawyers may not fully appreciate how statistical analyses based on publicly available court data from their jurisdiction can be leveraged to advance their client’s legal claims. Or if data are non-existent, our consultants can help clients design and implement rigorous data collection and analysis efforts.
We help clients realize these and other goals by working them to clean, code, and analyze data relevant to their interests. We work with each client on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration their timeline, goals, and budget when developing a consultation plan. This approach allows us to provide clients with highly customized services at affordable prices. Given the sensitive nature of criminal justice data and our focus on confidentiality, we will also send you a Non-Disclosure Agreement before discussing specifics. This ensures that your work product, identity, and the identity of your clients will not be shared with a third party.
