Evidence-based crime policy is not just about rigorously generating a strong supply of research; it also involves meeting the demands for research in practice and policy. Knowing “what works” in reducing crime or increasing justice, or knowing “what explains” through rigorous criminological testing still must be converted to meaningful forms and implemented with fidelity in order for practice to be receptive to research. But how does this actually happen? An important concept in the field of evidence-based crime policy is translational criminology, or how, why, and under what conditions research is converted to, and used, in practice. This Springer Brief series on translational criminology brings to both the academe and criminal justice world examples of how research turns into practice and policy, and the challenges thereof. Each brief will be written by top scholars and/or practitioners in the field who will describe specific examples of how a body of research became practice (or didn’t) and the lessons learned from the endeavor. Through these examples, we hope ideas can develop about carrying out (and also testing) research translation.
