The Office of Justice Programs, more commonly referred to as OJP, is an agency operating under the United States Department of Justice that is generally accountable for preventing crimes through research and development activities, providing assistance to state and local law enforcement and criminal justice agencies, as well as to crime victims.

The OJP makes it its mission to "provide innovative leadership to federal, state, local, and tribal justice systems, by disseminating state-of-the art knowledge and practices across America, and providing grants for the implementation of these crime fighting strategies."
