Agencies across the country are seeking ways to incorporate evidence-based practices into their programming. While not yet approved for Departmental use, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's Office of Research, and the Center for Evidence Based Corrections at UC Irvine, have created a

Certainly a tool to review.
