Dr. Uchida is often tasked with challenging public policy questions, such as: How can police agencies prevent crime? How can social services providers better serve their clients? How can community groups eliminate the causes of economic decline?
Together with his staff at Justice & Security Strategies, he conducts field research, evaluations, and assessments to provide organizations with the information, results and guidance they need to make complex decisions and find solutions to pressing issues. His research methods are rooted in criminological theory, computer-based mapping and other cutting-edge technology, as well as strategic thinking that often hinges on asking the right questions.
Through decades of experience, Dr. Uchida has applied advanced evaluation methods to discover gaps in community service and identify emerging trends needed for long-term planning.
