CER works closely with law enforcement agencies including local police departments and probation departments. Evaluations undertaken by CER include neighborhood crime prevention and suppression, restorative justice, drug court, juvenile justice, and probation programs. What makes CER unique is its extensive experience working with all levels of criminal justice from prevention to incarceration to community re-integration.

CER has extensive experience working with domestic violence programs. These include a range of programs that target bullying to adults in abusive relationships. Evaluation studies of prevention programs have looked at changes in young women’s knowledge and behaviors related to emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. CER also provides evaluation services to programs that serve adults who are currently in abusive relationships.
