Dallas-Based Nonprofit Uses Data-Driven Innovative Model to Reduce Crime

Unlocking Doors, the State of Texas’ comprehensive community reentry network for those with criminal backgrounds, has begun implementing a data-driven reentry model developed by researchers at the Institute for Justice Research and Development at Florida State University.

“Our partnership with the Institute for Justice Research and Development pairs the latest science on successful reentry with our expertise in providing services to thousands of individuals reentering the community from incarceration each year,” said Christina Melton Crain, Founder and President/CEO of Unlocking Doors. “By implementing IJRD’s innovative, data-backed model to our current assessment regimen, we can make an even bigger impact to improve lives, reduce reincarceration and continue making the communities we serve safer.”
