Searchable List of Evidence-Based Programs and Strategies

As one of its several missions, the former OGYVP was charged with assessing the use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in the juvenile justice and gang violence prevention fields, determining which are most effective in terms of implementation and outcome, and promoting those that are proven to be most cost-efficient and effective.  In 2009, OGYVP engaged a national expert to prepare an accurate and up-to-date list of evidence-based crime and violence prevention and intervention practices.  Users can search this list to find programs that are best suited for the populations they are looking to serve.  Go to the EBP Search page.
