The Center for Effective Public Policy (CEPP)

The Center for Effective Public Policy is a small, non-profit, tax-exempt organization incorporated in 1981. It is headquartered in Silver Spring, MD, with satellite offices in California, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. 

Over its 20 year history, the Center has defined a distinctive role for itself in facilitating and supporting the development of effective, empirically-grounded public policy on local, state and national levels—principally within the criminal justice field. The Center has established particular expertise in sentencing, community justice and corrections, gender responsiveness, violence against women, management of sex offenders in the community, and parole and reentry.

The Center's approach to the development of policy emphasizes:

• collaboration across the traditional boundaries of agency, branch, and level of government;
• practical experience from the field;
• an understanding of emerging issues and innovation; and
• an appreciation of the need for and uses of new knowledge.
