The CEBCP will be celebrating its 2-year anniversary with its 2nd Annual Evidence-Based Crime Policy Symposium and Awards Ceremony on August 9 – 11, 2010. The 2010 Distinguished Achievement Award in Evidence-Based Crime Policy will be presented to Joan Petersilia and Darrel Stephens, and the inductions of the new members of the Evidence-Based Policing Hall of Fame will take place. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AGENDA WAS UPDATED ON JULY 26)

Expanded from last year, this symposium will bring together those in the academic, practice, and policy worlds to for a series of workshops, panels, and special lectures that highlight our three research programs.  This year we also offer something new: free workshops for practitioners and students on GIS on August 9th, and overviews of two research translation tools, the Evidence-Based Policing Matrix, and systematic reviews on August 10th.
