Learning Experiences to Advance Practice (LEAP) is a multifaceted program designed to educate any interested individual about the nuances of conducting research in criminal justice settings.

By educating key stakeholders about effective and ethical conduct of research with justice-involved populations, we hope to build capacity for this research, which is sorely needed.

LEAP will increase the speed with which science becomes practice in the criminal justice field. The program will offer research education, mentoring, and networking, and other resources that will benefit practitioners in the areas of justice, treatment, and health, as well as scientists, researchers, journalists, and community members.

For those people who complete all six courses, they'll receive a certificate of LEAP, similar to certificates provided for courses in university settings.
