The ARK

Annals of Research and Knowledge

The ARK is an interactive, searchable online database of evidence-based and promising programs designed for persons involved in the justice system. Programs are cataloged according to participants’ risk and need profiles and stage of processing.

Information is provided on how the programs operate, research findings supporting their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, their indicated target population, and best practices shown to enhance their outcomes.

Users can download PDFs of program manuals and other supporting materials and connect to relevant websites and libraries of governmental, scientific, and consumer organizations.

This project was supported by Grant No. G18990NDCP02A awarded by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) of the Executive Office of the President.
