BJA FY25 Justice Reinvestment Initiative: Strengthening State and Local Operations to Reduce Crime and Recidivism

This program will support state, local, and tribal government efforts to reduce wasteful spending and inefficiencies across justice system operations and redirect that funding to target crime and other public safety and/or justice system challenges. The key objectives of this initiative are to: • Reduce crime and recidivism • Improve public safety • Enhance justice system operations • Support state, local, and tribal government efforts Applicants should propose projects that address one or more urgent local justice system challenges and use existing data and information to identify the specific challenges they will focus on and how they will refocus resources on the strategies and populations most likely to reduce crime.
