CrimeSolutions.Gov - https://crimesolutions.ojp.gov/ 
A resource of the National Institute of Justice that provides and uses research to rate the effectiveness of programs and practices in achieving criminal justice related outcomes in order to inform practitioners and policy makers about what works, what doesn't, and what's promising in criminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services. 
Suggested Assignment for Students: Give students a topic (e.g., cognitive behavioral interventions) and ask them to locate 2-3 examples each of programs that are shown on Crimesolutions.gov to be effective, promising and have no effects on that topic area. Also, have students include a summary of how the site defines effective, promising and no effects. This will give them an opportunity to use a resource used in the corrections field to begin determining what some of the evidence-based practices in community corrections are. The students also could be asked to review the original research studies cited for the programs to get more details and present their findings.
