BJA is committed to many initiatives that we hope will bring positive
changes and help each of our partners in the field. Listed below are
the nine areas that BJA plans to emphasize.
- Adjudication. BJA is committed to providing the resources, tools, and support needed to help prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges implement and test their ideas.
- Community Corrections. To ensure public safety, state
and local probation and parole officials are increasingly finding
and testing new ways to supervise offenders in the community and
provide the services and treatment they need to change their lives.
- Community Planning. Community planning is a valuable tool that not only helps to focus resources and gauge results but also to raise community awareness and garner support.
- Counter-Terrorism. BJA is committed to working with all
levels of government to help prevent, disrupt, and halt terrorist activities before they become full terrorist incidents.
- Crime Prevention. Crime prevention is the responsibility
of every individual, family, and community.
- Faith-Based Initiatives. BJA will promote President
Bush's agenda to support faith-based and other community programs
by expanding their capacity through funding and support.
- Institutional Corrections. It is the role of the correctional
community to not only house criminals removed from our streets,
but also prepare them for their reentry into the community.
- Law Enforcement. Innovative policing and investigative
programs throughout the country have increased law enforcement
officers' abilities to solve and root out crime.
- Technology. All law enforcement and criminal justice agencies need to find ways to overcome the difficulties in sharing information. BJA is committed to providing the resources and assistance needed to make it as easy as possible.
- Tribal Justice. BJA is committed to preventing and controlling crime, violence, and substance abuse and improving criminal justice system functions in American Indian and Alaska Native communities.
