Created by the Office of Justice Programs, this site bills itself as a clearinghouse for "Evidence-Based Programs and What Works in Criminal Justice." You can look for programs with a particular focus (e.g. juveniles or substance abuse) or you can look at all programs. All programs have undergone a rigorous research and screening process (see" Learn how programs are rated" link) and each then receives a rating of "effective," "promising" or "no effects."

I find this site both appealing and compelling. For the reader, the material is rendered very simply, but still reflects the deep preliminary research that the Office of Justice has done. Perhaps also a good teaching tool in terms of how to evaluate reports or information. -- Stephanie
