JIRN Support Sessions
Let us know what you need help with, and we will match you with the most suitable expert. To get started, email Diba Rouzbahani, at drouzbahani@jirn.org with a brief description of your project and the specific issue you’re facing. Please allow us a couple of days to get back to you with tentative office hour options that fit your schedule.
Community Forums
The Community Forums provide JIRN members and the broader criminal justice community a place to exchange ideas and information with their peers. While anyone can read the forums, you must register to post or reply to a post.
There are dedicated discussion boards for SACs and other members, as well as a variety of topics such as adjudication, corrections, statistical analysis, and translating research, to name a few.
