Learning from Failure

Learning from Failure

"Learning from failure was the topic of a roundtable discussion sponsored by the Center for Court Innovation and BJA. The roundtable brought together police chiefs, probation officials, prosecutors, judges, and defense attorneys from across the country to discuss lessons they have learned from projects that did not succeed. The message from the gathering was that these lessons can be just as helpful as best practices in nurturing effective justice programs."
