The Ohio State University Criminal Justice Research Center (CJRC) was established in 1989 as the focal point for collaborative interdisciplinary research on crime/delinquency and justice issues. In addition, CJRC provides research-based outreach to crime and justice policymakers and fosters intellectual exchange among faculty; graduate, and professional students; policymakers; and practitioners.

Our primary function is to serve as a catalyst for and facilitate collaborative interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research on crime, delinquency, and justice issues and to provide information on funding opportunities, small grants, research awards, and in-kind support to facilitate studies of crime and justice issues.

Research conducted at CJRC reflects the diversity of interests of affiliated faculty and students. CJRC is positioning itself to become a national center of excellence at the forefront of knowledge about the interrelationships among race, ethnicity, crime and justice.
