Field research and the "special sauce" for institutionalizing evidence-based policing
In her 2026 Jerry Lee Lecture, Distinguished University Professor Cynthia Lum of George Mason University and Director of its Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy will discuss the “special sauce” behind institutionalizing evidence-based practices in policing, as revealed by research and experiments in the field. She will argue that, for criminologists to continue advancing evidence-based reforms, fieldwork - and its funding - remain essential.
