Oregon recidivism analysis June 2025
(Oregon Criminal Justice Commission, 2025-06-10) Guinn, Kelly; Officer, Kelly; Keck, Ryan
Key Takeaways:
• For the examined Parole-PPS cohort, rates of arrest, conviction, and incarceration recidivism have increased, but they remain lower than pre-COVID-19 rates.
• For the examined Probation cohort, recidivism rates for arrest, conviction, and incarceration have increased, but they remain lower than pre-COVID-19 rates.
• Despite increases in recidivism rates for both the Probation cohort and the Parole-PPS cohort, the recidivism rates in Oregon are within 4 percentage points of historic lows. Recidivism rates may have reached a natural floor in recent cohorts, and a slight increase can be expected, especially as the criminal justice system adjusts to post-COVID-19 circumstances and legislative changes regarding the possession of controlled substances.

Stalking in Ohio, 2016-2023
(Ohio Department of Public Safety, 2025) Rines, Kaitlyn
This report summarizes law enforcement reports of stalking offenses for the State of Ohio during the years 2016-2023. We also summarize characteristics of crime incidents and victims. We provide stalking rates throughout this report, and it is important to understand how we calculated these rates and what they mean.
First, we calculate offense totals by counting the number of stalking victimizations documented within each law enforcement incident report. Stalking victimization totals do not necessarily represent unique victims. For example, a suspect could stalk the same individual during a different incident, or a victim could report multiple stalking offenses by the same suspect during a single incident. Therefore, it is almost certain that the offense total is larger than the number of individuals who were victims of stalking.
Next, we calculate the rate of stalking by dividing the total count of offenses by the population total and then multiplying the resulting number (the quotient) by 100,000. This yields a stalking crime rate per 100,000 persons. We provide Ohio’s overall stalking crime rates over time, and we also compare rates of stalking for Ohio’s standard demographic groups (e.g., age, sex, race). Rates can vary significantly depending on how many victimizations a group experienced compared to the size of one group versus another. For example, the stalking victimization rate was much higher for female Ohioans than males, because the number of female stalking incidents was much larger than males’ and females made up about half of Ohio’s population. Further, while most stalking victims were White females (because over 75% of Ohio’s population is White), Black females had the highest victimization rate because their victimization total was large while their overall population size was small (i.e., about 7% of the state population was Black and female during 2016-2023).
Criminal justice case processing arrest through disposition New York state January - September 2024
(NYS, 2025-06) New York State, Division of Criminal Justice Services
This report details how felony cases are processed in New York State's superior courts (Criminal Procedure Law 10.10 and 10.20) and its publication fulfils the statutory reporting requirements outlined in Section 837-a of Executive Law requiring the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) to collect and analyze statistical information on felony indictments, superior court information (SCI) and the dispositions of felony cases.
Information about the processing of these felony cases is presented for New York State and its two regions: New York City and Non-New York City (the 57 counties outside of the five boroughs). Arrest and arraignment statistics also are included for the entire state and each region. Individual county-specific reports are provided to each District Attorney's office, the New York City Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor (OSNP), and the Office of the Attorney General, and are available to the public upon request.
The data included in this report is derived from New York State's criminal history records database, which is maintained by DCJS and is known as the Computerized Criminal History (CCH) system. CCH includes information about adult arrests for offenses that require fingerprints to be taken (Criminal Procedure Law 160.10). Misdemeanor arrests involving youth ranging in age from 13 to 17 are not included where the arrest does not require fingerprints to be taken by the arresting agency. Arrest information is submitted to DCJS by police agencies as part of the fingerprint transaction and disposition information is electronically transmitted to DCJS by the Office of Court Administration.
