Item 2009 Drug Law Changes 2017-2018 Report(New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, Office of Justice Research and Performance, 11/1/2019)The 2009 reforms to New York's Rockefeller Drug Laws included a requirement to study the impact of these changes (see New York State Executive Law §837). This report details trends in arrests, indictments and superior court informations (SCIs), prison commitments and screening and admission to felony drug court for felony drug and specified property offenses. In New York City, felony drug arrests, indictments, and commitments decreased dramatically from 2009 to 2018. In large counties outside of NYC, arrests declined through 2015 and then increased. Indictments and commitments were more stable. In small counties outside of NYC, felony drug arrests, indictments, and commitments generally increased from 2009 to 2018. NYS Executive Law Article 13-A Classification/Alternatives to Incarceration Program Annual Report for Contract Period July 2018 – June 2019 Office of Justice Research & Performance, New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services October 2019, 6 pp. This statutorily mandated annual report requires the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) to submit its evaluation and assessment of Alternative to Incarceration (ATI) planning and programming efforts by counties and the City of New York. Executive Law Article 13-A requires counties to submit an ATI Service Plan for Classification Funding to New York State. The Plan is intended to identify the need for and plan for ATI programming as determined by either a criminal justice advisory board established according to this law, or by an existing criminal justice coordinating council.Item 2012 Alabama Drug-Related Crime Statistics(Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center, 2012)This report breaks down Alabama drug-related crime statistics for calendar year 2016 by arrests for sale/possession of illegal drugs by adults/juveniles by county; by adult arrests for sale by county and drug type; adult arrests for possession by county and drug type; by juvenile arrests for sale by country and drug type; and by juvenile arrests for possession by county and drug type.Item 2013 Alabama Drug-Related Crime Statistics(Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center, 2014)This report breaks down Alabama drug-related crime statistics for calendar year 2013by arrests for sale/possession of illegal drugs by adults/juveniles by county; by adult arrests for sale by county and drug type; adult arrests for possession by county and drug type; by juvenile arrests for sale by country and drug type; and by juvenile arrests for possession by county and drug type.Item 2018 Hawaii Recidivism Report(Crime Prevention and Justice Assistance Division, Hawaii Department of the Attorney General, 6/1/2020) Wong, TimothyThis report provides a comparative update to the 2002 Hawaii Recidivism Baseline Study and subsequent updates in 2006 through 2017. Hawaii's statewide recidivism rate is the key indicator of the Interagency Council on Intermediate Sanctions' (ICIS) efforts to reduce recidivism by 30% over a 10-year period. Although this period ended in 2011, reaching the 30% recidivism reduction benchmark remains an important long-term goal.Item 2018 SAC Grant Report: Recidivism with Extended Follow-Up Periods and Hazard Analysis(Oregon Criminal Justice Commission, 12/1/2019) McAlister, Siobhan; Officer, Kelly; Sanchagrin, Ken; Weinerman, Michael; Tallan, KatherineThe definition of recidivism in Oregon requires three years of monitoring for arrests, convictions, and incarcerations for a new crime (ORS 423.557). We at the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC), publish recidivism reports semiannually, which update the public on recidivism in Oregon using the most recent data. These reports, however, include neither information on recidivism beyond three years nor the specific characteristics that are associated with recidivating events. Research indicates that Oregon's three-year follow-up period after the imposition of probation or release from incarceration may provide an incomplete measure of recidivism and conceal differences between offenders. In this report, CJC analyzes individuals who were released from incarceration or sentenced to probation from 1998 through 2012 in the State of Oregon. Due to inconsistent findings across subgroups over extended periods in prior research, this report examines recidivism patterns for a wide variety of crimes using the existing 3-year interval, as well as 5-, 10-, and 15-year intervals. This report also expands on previous CJC recidivism reports' methodologies by incorporating hazard analysis which provides measures of how many and what type of ex-offenders recidivate within a specified follow-up period.Item 20th annual DUI report to the Utah legistlature(Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice, 2023) Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile JusticeThe 20th Annual DUI Report to the Utah Legislature was prepared in accordance with §41-6a-511 of the Utah Code. The statute requires the Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice to prepare an annual report of DUI related data, including the following: • Data collected by the state courts to allow sentencing and enhancement decisions to be made in accordance with violations involving driving under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs; • Data collected by the justice courts (same DUI related data elements collected by the state courts); and • Any measures for which data are available to evaluate the profile and impacts of DUI recidivism and to evaluate the DUI related processes of: law enforcement; adjudication; sanctions; driver license control; and alcohol education, assessment, and treatment.Item A State and National Overview of Methamphetamine Trends(Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, 7/1/2019) Weisner, Lauren; Adams, SharynWhile most of the country has turned its attention to the opioid crisis, Illinois has seen a resurgence in methamphetamine misuse and related offending, particularly in rural areas. Researchers explored literature and data available on the extent and nature of state and national methamphetamine issues. Researchers found the arrest rate for methamphetamine-related offenses more than tripled between 2010 and 2017 in Illinois and the number of individuals in Illinois prisons for methamphetamine offenses increased 67 percent between 2012 and 2018. Further, treatment admissions for methamphetamine increased five-fold between 2000 and 2017.Item Alcohol-Impaired Driving in Illinois(Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, 7/26/2019) Gatens, AlyssonDriving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) is a persistent but preventable problem that creates a risk of injury or death for all individuals on the road. This article provides an overview of policies to prevent and reduce alcohol-impaired driving, an analysis of related data from Illinois, and a review of existing research on interventions to combat driving under the influence. Researchers found the number of DUI arrests and alcohol-related fatal accidents in Illinois have remained stable or decreased in the past decade. However, further research is needed to fully understand the impact of law enforcement efforts and new technology to address alcohol-impaired driving.Item An analysis of arrest-related deaths, 2005 to 2012(Oklahoma Statistical Analysis Center, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, 6/1/2014) Oklahoma Statistical Analysis Center, Oklahoma State Bureau of InvestigationFrom 2003 to 2013, the Oklahoma Statistical Analysis Center participated in the ArrestRelated Deaths (ARD) Program, which was a national data collection of those who die either during the process of arrest or while in the custody of state or local law enforcement. The program was administered by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). According to BJS, an arrest-related death is defined as “one that occurs anytime a person’s freedom to leave is restricted by state or local law enforcement personnel.Item An Infographic Report of Crime Trends and Statistics, 2012-2016(Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, Office of Research, Evaluation and Strategic Policy Development, 3/1/2019)The criminal justice system within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is continually evolving and improving. From 2012 to 2016, several meaningful system gains occurred, such as reductions in the reported numbers of crime victims, known occurrences of violent crime, and the yearly prisoner population of the state prisons. Collectively, these statistics represent positive trends in the Pennsylvania criminal justice system. But to date, these gains have been reported out singularly by their respective agencies, making it difficult to ascertain the full picture of how the system is performing. This project was undertaken to provide a basic remedy: track the performance of the state criminal justice system by coalescing siloed data among several state agencies to create a Pennsylvania Crime Trends report. Contained within are informative statistics and analysis on offenses, victimization, arrests, courts and sentences, state prisons, and state parole/probation. The information is presented in a visualized format to provide clear, meaningful data points in an effort to better inform criminal justice executives, policymakers, and the general public as to the movement of Pennsylvania's criminal justice system over the past few years.Item Arizona sexual assault report(Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, 2023-11-17) Arizona Criminal Justice CommissionThis report summarizes all police reports, charges filed, convictions, and sentences for A.R.S. §13-1406 sexual assault arrests that occurred between calendar years (CY) 2017 and 2021 and were available in the ACCH as of July 2023.

The Maine Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) worked with several criminal justice stakeholders across the state to determine arrest rates and outcomes for hate and bias crimes in Maine that were reported by law enforcement to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Uniform Crime Report (UCR) program from 2008 to 2017. Hate and bias-motivated crimes in Maine that were reported to the FBI’s UCR program decreased by 49% from 2008 to 2017. The Maine SAC requested arrest data from all local law enforcement agencies that reported at least one hate or bias incident to the FBI during the study period. The Maine SAC then submitted data requests to the Maine Attorney General’s office to ascertain whether a civil order was filed under the Maine Civil Rights Act for the hate and bias crimes reported during the study period. Similar to the request sent to the Attorney General’s office, the Maine SAC sent each District Attorney’s office a request asking for information about any criminal proceedings brought against the accused. Data from these three sources were then merged to determine outcomes (i.e., did an arrest occur, were civil orders filed, and was the case accepted for criminal prosecution) for each incident. A total of 445 hate and bias crimes in Maine were reported to the FBI from 2008 to 2017. Of these crimes, the Maine SAC was able to compile outcome information for 414 cases for this study. This outcome information is generally not available in states across the country. This report summarizes the findings.Item Crime in California 2018(California Criminal Justice Statistics Center, 1/1/2019)This publication contains the most comprehensive set of data on California crimes, arrests, and criminal justice actions.
