DJI and science: a sustainable connection with friction In this article, the authors examine the relationship between the Custodial Institutions Agency (DJI) and the academic community. How do the two collaborate, and is this collaboration functioning as intended? To what extent does scientific knowledge inform policy and practice – and if it does not, what explains this gap? After briefly outlining the societal mission of DJI, the authors describe how the collaboration between DJI and the scientific community is organized and the principles on which it is based. They discuss the current state of this collaboration and the various ways in which cooperation takes shape, and look back on 25 years of partnership: what has been achieved, and what concerns remain?
