Campbell Crime and Justice Group

The Campbell Crime & Justice Coordinating Group is an international network of researchers that prepares, updates and rapidly disseminates systematic reviews of high-quality research conducted worldwide on effective methods to reduce crime and delinquency and improve the quality of justice. These reviews are used to promote evidence-based criminal justice policies as well as to guide future research. Drug courts, boot camps, electronic monitoring, and victim-offender mediation programs are just a few of the many criminal justice interventions currently being reviewed by Campbell researchers.

The Jerry Lee Center of Criminology at Penn is the secretariat for the Campbell Crime and Justice Group (CCJG), which is co-chaired by Professor David Farrington of Cambridge University, and David Weisburd of the University of Maryland and Hebrew University of Jerusalem. To learn more about CCJG, please visit it's website at www.aic.gov.au/campbellcj/.

The 2004 Jerry Lee Symposium included a presentation of the results of an ongoing CCJG systematic review on the effectiveness of treatment for sex offenders. See slides from that presentation by Professor Friedrich Loesel of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
