    Faculty's new work ranged over a wide array of topics such as  evaluation of drug treatment for offenders, matching juvenile delinquents to appropriate programs, community prosecution,  and potential racial under-representation on juries. Funders included national, state, and local agencies.

    Looking at the same time period, four projects totaling $1,190,403 were initiated by the Criminal Justice Training Programs, under the leadership of Jon Clark. This program creates standards and writes curricula for occupations within law enforcement, trains law enforcement personnel within the state of Pennsylvania , and trains trainers using state of the art technologies.

Total research and training projects amounted to 20 different projects totaling $5,037,850.   Sixteen of these 20 projects (80%), and $3,847,447 or 76% of the funding, was for externally funded research.
