| Abstract: |
Courts play an integral role in the administration of justice as collaborators and intermediaries between defendants, victims, law enforcement, corrections, and the community. The National Institute of Justice developed this Courts Strategic Research Plan to communicate its courts research agenda and advance its courts research mission. The four research priorities elaborated in the plan are: to promote and support research to develop the courts workforce and enhance court workgroups; promote and support research to advance court practice; promote and support research on the fair and impartial administration of justice; and promote data and research capacity building. The plan’s priorities and objectives respond to the findings of contemporary research and to needs and requirements identified by prosecutors, defense counsel, judges, and other criminal justice stakeholders. |
