Highlights and Lowlights of Researcher- Practitioner Collaborations in the Criminal Justice System, Findings from the Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships Study (RPPS).

摘要

Research has the greatest potential to effect change in practice and policy when (1) it is conducted in collaboration with practitioners rather than conducted by an academic researcher alone, and (2) its findings are meaningfully communicated to the people who influence policy and practice (Block, Engel, Naureckas, & Riordan, 1999; Mouradian, Mechanic, & Williams, 2001). However, very little information has been shared by researchers and practitioners who have collaborated successfully so that future collaborations could benefit from their lessons learned.
