A Note to Readers

The Center for Effective Public Policy for the State Justice Institute, in concert with the National Center for State Courts, is administering a national training and technical assistance project on this topic, called the National Resource Center on Collaboration in Criminal and Juvenile Justice. This project, sponsored by the State Justice Institute and its federal partners—the Bureau of Justice Assistance, NIC, OVC, the Drug Courts Program Office, VAWO, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention—is assisting selected jurisdictions, including the Denver VS2000 Project, with building stronger initiatives and enhancing justice in their communities. Denver VS2000 is proud to publish the first bulletin on collaboration resulting from this training and technical assistance project.
