Research Community

The Center has assembled a national consortium of researchers from the fields of behavioral health services, sociology, economics, anthropology, and criminology/criminal justice that is dedicated to conducting state-of-the-art behavioral health services and criminal justice research.

Research affiliates of the Center are organized into interdisciplinary teams and partnered with practice experts. Each research project supported by the Center has an interdisciplinary-practice team. These teams develop and implement theoretically rigorous and practice-sensitive studies focusing on cross-cutting research questions in the areas of behavioral health services and criminal justice policy and practice.
