National Center for Policy Analysis

12770 Coit Rd., Suite 800, Dallas, TX, 75251, (972) 386-6272

A non-profit think tank based in Dallas, with an active office in DC, NCPA believes in private sector (market-based) solutions to public problems. They have testified in front of Congress on a wide variety of issues including energy, commerce, health care savings accounts, criminal deterrence, etc. NCPA also has a criminal justice center. NCPA believes that manufacturing factories inside prisons save taxpayers money, benefit the economy, and make prisoners more employable upon release; they believe a private bond system and a streamlined, increased “expected punishment” system will make a more effective probation and parole system. Argues the most effective crime reducer is a good family (which has been deteriorated by government policies like welfare). They have several factsheets discussing a range of topics within criminal justice on the benefits of “Super- Max” prisons, gun possession as a crime deterrent, gun violence declining, the non-existence of racial profiling, etc.
