# CrimeSolutions *Federal clearinghouse that publishes evidence ratings of practices, including batterer intervention built on the Duluth model.* **CrimeSolutions** is a federal clearinghouse that publishes ratings of practices under the heading Rated Practices, at the domain crimesolutions.ojp.gov.[^1] In this record it appears as the source of the [[National Institute of Justice]]'s rating for batterer intervention built on the [[Duluth model]], listed as Rated Practices No. 17.[^1] A project dossier on Hennepin County, dated 2026-08-31, reports the clearinghouse's rating of batterer-intervention programs built on the model as "No Effects".[^2] The dossier cites that rating alongside Minn. Stat. § 518B.02[^3] and Pub. L. 103-322, 108 Stat. 1796 (1994).[^4] The record carries the "No Effects" rating only as the dossier reports it. It does not reproduce the text of the rating page.[^2] A separate item in the project's at-issue catalogue states that the federally rated evidence base is "thin on both sides". In that item, the comparator "research-backed protocol" carries only a "Promising" CrimeSolutions rating based on a single study.[^5] The item calls this a difference in depth of evidence, "not evidence-based versus debunked".[^5] ## Who The record names the National Institute of Justice as the body that issued the CrimeSolutions rating for Duluth Model batterer intervention.[^1] The record does not name the officials or reviewers who assigned the rating. It also does not give the date on which the rating was assigned.[^1] ## What Rated Practices No. 17 is the clearinghouse's entry rating batterer intervention built on the Duluth model.[^1] As cited in the project dossier, the entry's rating is "No Effects".[^2] The "Promising" rating described in the at-issue catalogue belongs to a different protocol, which that item treats as the comparator. That item does not name the protocol.[^5] The two ratings concern two different interventions. They are not competing descriptions of the same practice.[^2][^5] ## In the at-issue record At-issue item AI-Scott-066 (Matrix 3.13) is listed in the catalogue section titled *The Immunity Architecture & the Consequence-Free Malfeasance Edition*. It records the "Promising" single-study rating for the comparator protocol, and it gives crimesolutions.ojp.gov as its one source domain.[^5] The item's stated reason for keeping this qualification is that an "honest accounting of the comparator" is needed for the criticism to hold.[^5] The item's anchor URL is a White House presidential action of March 2025. That document does not itself address the CrimeSolutions rating.[^5] ## In the Minnesota record ### What The project dossier that reports the "No Effects" rating places it beside a Minnesota statute, Minn. Stat. § 518B.02.[^3] The dossier also cites a federal enactment, Pub. L. 103-322, 108 Stat. 1796 (1994), and describes it as the model's "national carriage".[^4] The record does not set out the text of either statute. It also does not show which legislators or parties enacted, amended or maintained the provisions the dossier relies on.[^3][^4] ## Notes [^1]: National Institute of Justice, *CrimeSolutions, Rated Practices No. 17* (undated) — the clearinghouse's rating entry for Duluth Model batterer intervention. https://crimesolutions.ojp.gov/ratedpractices/17 [^2]: National Institute of Justice, *CrimeSolutions, Rated Practices No. 17* (undated) — the rating the project dossier on Hennepin County (2026-08-31) reports as "No Effects" for batterer-intervention programs built on the model; the dossier's source grade is unassessed ("?"). https://crimesolutions.ojp.gov/ratedpractices/17 [^3]: Minnesota Office of the Revisor of Statutes, *Minn.
