Welcome to the National Institute of Corrections' Correctional Research Roundtable, a new forum debuting in early December 2007. The Roundtable promotes networking among practitioners, academicians, and anyone else interested in correctional research. It is a virtual meeting ground for discussion of topics such as in-progress or newly completed research, research theory and techniques, the practitioner/academic interface, and evidence-based practice. With the forum's capacity for attaching and sharing files, it can also become a focal point for sharing and discussing preliminary work as it evolves. For questions regarding attaching or uploading files, setting up email alerts, and the like, please visit our technical support resources, or email communitysupport@nicic.org for help. We hope you will find the forum useful, and that through your participation, you will make the forum a vital resource for all participants!
