Abt uses machine learning to do things that until recently would have been impossible, such as categorizing a vast amount of unstructured text into main themes or counting mosquito eggs from a smartphone picture using image recognition.

Abt’s research, implementation, evaluation, and technical assistance expertise advances meaningful change across the U.S. justice system. With expertise in criminology, sociology, survey methodology, and computer science, we approach criminal and juvenile justice system challenges and reforms comprehensively, considering the intersections with health, housing, and social policy. Our team’s robust portfolio of research and data analysis, rigorous mixed-methods evaluations, technical assistance, and training spans the justice process from community-based prevention through reentry and community supervision. This broad view enables us to provide data-informed insights and support for federal and state agencies, service providers, and communities as they face their most pressing justice issues.
