Measuring the benefit to cost of the state's investment in adult criminal justice programs

Alaska Results First Initiative
A report from the Alaska Justice Information Center (AJiC) at the Justice Center shows that most of Alaska's evidence-based adult criminal justice programs are showing positive return on state investment of money. AJiC's Alaska Results First analysis shows the monetary return on the state’s investment in evidence-based criminal justice programs, provides tools for assessing how changing the cost structure and delivery method can impact the return on current programs, and helps estimate the benefit to cost ratio for prospective programs. Read more about this new tool for analyzing the benefit to cost of programs in the Winter 2018 Alaska Justice Forum.
