About the Institute

Institute for Excellence logo

The Institute for Excellence in Justice (IEJ) is a partnership between the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction the Criminal Justice Research Center at The Ohio State University.

IEJ works with criminal justice practitioners to identify and disseminate pertinent information for the development and implementation of sound policies and practices.  The IEJ also works with academe to identify gaps in research that can be translated into a best practices blueprint for practitioners.  These activities work to ensure that programming, decision making and policy implementation are aligned with what research concludes are best practices; thereby, increasing the effectiveness in what we do to serve the academic research community, policy developers, and the implementation community.

The Institute for Excellence in Justice (IEJ) is located within the Office of Policy and Offender Reentry. The IEJ also has an office located within the Criminal Justice Research Center on the main campus of The Ohio State University.
