PJAC Research Briefs

The Procedural Justice-Informed Alternatives to Contempt (PJAC) model is premised on how an individual’s perception of fairness and how they were treated during judicial proceedings impact compliance with child support orders more than the perceived fairness of the outcome. Funded as part of a PJAC evaluation grant from the Office of Child Support Enforcement, these six research briefs prepared by MDRC assess lessons learned from the model’s implementation by the Georgia Department of Human Services, Division of Child Support Services.
