Institute of Native Justice
The Institute for Native Justice promotes integrity, empowerment, and self-determination as the basis for our interactions with each other. We honor consensus among our colleagues and pursue collaborative interaction as the path to confronting and overcoming the barriers that preserve the proliferation of violence in Indian Country. Seeking wisdom from the past to create innovative solutions for the future is central to our work.

Office of Justice Programs
The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) provides innovative leadership to federal, state, local, and tribal justice systems, by disseminating state-of-the art knowledge and practices across America, and providing grants for the implementation of these crime fighting strategies. Because most of the responsibility for crime control and prevention falls to law enforcement officers in states, cities, and neighborhoods, the federal government can be effective in these areas only to the extent that it can enter into partnerships with these officers.
