BJA is committed to many initiatives that we hope will bring positive changes and help each of our partners in the field. Listed below are eight areas that BJA focuses on.

• Adjudication. BJA is committed to providing the resources, tools, and support needed to help prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges implement and test their ideas.
  
  
• Corrections. It is the role of the correctional community to not only house criminals removed from our streets, but also prepare them for their reentry into the community. State and local probation and parole officials are increasingly finding and testing new ways to supervise offenders in the community and provide the services and treatment they need to change their lives.
  
  
• Counter-Terrorism. BJA is committed to working with all levels of government to help prevent, disrupt, and halt terrorist activities before they become full terrorist incidents.
  
  
• Crime Prevention. Crime prevention is the responsibility of every individual, family, and community.
  
  
• Justice Information Sharing. All law enforcement and criminal justice agencies need to find ways to overcome the difficulties in sharing information. BJA is committed to providing the resources and assistance needed to make it as easy as possible.



• Law Enforcement. Innovative policing and investigative programs throughout the country have increased law enforcement officers' abilities to solve and root out crime.
  
  
• Pandemic Influenza and Public Health Emergencies. Local communities and their justice and public safety systems that serve them must be prepared for the possibility of a pandemic influenza or another natural or manmade public health crisis, including acts of bioterrorism.
  
  
• Tribal Justice. BJA is committed to preventing and controlling crime, violence, and substance abuse and improving criminal justice system functions in American Indian and Alaska Native communities.
