Abstract

This fact sheet, produced by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), provides information on the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (BCJI) Program. The program was created by the Bureau of Justice Assistance as part of the Obama Administration's national Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative (NRI) efforts. The goal of the BCJI is to develop projects across the country aimed at reducing crime and improving community safety through comprehensive strategies to advance neighborhood revitalization goals. The fact sheet describes the core program elements of the BCJI model, the role of LISC in its partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, and presents a map showing the location of BCJI projects around the country.
