Dove,
The Bureau of Justice Assistance is probably the best place to start when looking at the role of the federal government in CJ research - https://www.bja.gov/. The direct federal role in research has traditionally been one of data accumulation and practical application studies - such as research into technical, scientific, and forensic issues, however, indirect support through funding of research initiatives is the primary way the federal government impacts the field of criminal justice.
