About Us
JMI, a non-profit organization based in Arlington, Virginia, works with justice systems to improve outcomes. We accomplish this by applying our holistic and systemic approach to improvement through system design and redesign, cutting edge research, education and training programs, and technical assistance in justice policy, planning and operations. JMI is known for innovative approaches and solutions for advancing knowledge and practice in the administration of justice. In essence, JMI's work focuses on "doing the right thing" as well as how to do things right.
Our Approach
Our approach is rooted in our three core services, designed to be implemented individually or as a holistic solution to organizational change. These services include Collaborative System Design™, Research and Evaluation, and Practice Development and Education. Combined, these address the foundational elements found in every justice system: people, process, and structure.
Collaborative System
Design™
Collaborative System Design™ is an essential process for enriching systems to be responsive, outcome-driven, fair, equitable, and efficient.
At JMI, we use a collaborative approach that involves leaders, managers, practitioners, users, and community members to define the elements of a system, its interfaces, data, and touch points. This approach allows us to increase the collaborative, synergistic work of the system, resulting in improved outcomes for the community.
Research and Evaluation
Research and Evaluation is a process of systematic inquiry and assessment, relying on data and information collection, analysis, and interpretation. The research and evaluations conducted can assess system operations and workload and test hypotheses about factors that drive effective systems. This process strengthens justice systems by applying outcomes that work, responding to cultural and legal issues, and addressing both systemic and episodic problems.
Our work includes both workload assessments, an emerging focus for many justice systems, and true evaluation.
Practice Development
and Education
Practice Development and Education is targeted support to address a concern and build capacity of an organization or system. JMI provides this by learning the unique needs of the community, analyzing specific issues and opportunities, and determining new outcomes for the justice system and community.
