This article brings together the main conclusions from the previous articles in this issue and identifies priorities for moving toward an evidence-based approach to preventing crime. The Campbell Collaboration Crime and Justice Group has begun the important task of preparing systematic reviews of the effectiveness of a wide range of criminological interventions. Alongside the Campbell initiative, a program of research of new crime prevention and intervention experiments and quasi-experiments needs to be launched. Efforts must also be made to confront the challenges of getting research evidence into policy and practice. Here, political and policy considerations need to be faced.
