In July, 2008 NOBLE joined the the National
Criminal Justice Association, (NCJA). A
benefit of membership is the weekly
newsletter, "The Bulletin," that is available
by clicking on the link located on the left
side of this page.
Based in Washington, D.C., NCJA represents
state, tribal and local
governments on crime prevention and crime
control issues. Its members represent all
facets of the criminal and juvenile justice
community, from law enforcement, corrections,
prosecution, defense, courts, victim-witness
services and educational institutions to
federal, state and local elected officials.
The NCJA is a national voice in shaping and
implementing criminal justice policy since
its founding in 1971. As the representative
of state, tribal and local criminal and
juvenile justice practitioners, the NCJA
works to promote a balanced approach to
communities' complex public safety and
criminal and juvenile justice system
problems. The NCJA recognizes the importance
of interrelationships among criminal and
juvenile justice agencies and between these
agencies and the community and the strong,
steady advocacy necessary to achieve
comprehensive planning and policy
coordination goals.
Guided by a 17-18 member Board of Directors,
the NCJA serves as the formal mechanism for
informing the Congress of state, tribal and
local criminal and juvenile justice needs and
accomplishments. Through collaboration with
practitioners and policymakers, the NCJA also
communicates state, tribal and local views on
crime prevention and control to federal
executive and other public and private
agencies at all levels. We invite you to take
advantage of the NCJA member benefits and
make the voice of state, tribal and local
criminal and juvenile justice heard in
Washington.
