The Massachusetts Criminal Justice Agency Researchers Group (MCJARG) was formed in the fall of 2002 to provide an informal forum for public sector research professionals working in criminal justice and related fields.
The mission of MCJARG is to formalize a collaborative research network with various state, county and local agency criminal justice practitioners that provides a forum where professionals interested in issues relating to data collection and reporting, research, and program evaluation can share information, foster research collaborations, and learn from others. Below is the list of current MCJARG members. Currently, the Research and Policy Analysis Division (RPAD) of the Office of Grants and Research has taken a leadership role in the administrative oversight of this group.
