About the University of Cincinnati Corrections Institute The University of Cincinnati Corrections Institute (UCCI) translates research into practice by conducting research on correctional interventions, developing evidence-informed and evidence-based tools, and providing training and technical assistance to professionals working with justice-involved populations. UCCI is housed in the School of Criminal Justice in the College of Education, Criminal Justice, Human Services, and Information Technology (CECH) at the University of Cincinnati (UC).

At its core, UCCI uniquely combines theory and practice through two avenues of innovation. The research pathway serves to study and support data-driven strategies that advance evidence-based approaches in corrections. The implementation pathway serves to apply correctional research in ways that strengthen program effectiveness, encouraging professionals to become "agents of change." This partnership helps to substantially narrow the gap between academic research and correctional practice in ways that positively impact lives and shape safer communities.
