Wyoming Election Year Survey, 2024
(Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center, 2024-11) Harnisch, Brian
The Wyoming Election Year Survey (WEYS) is an overlapping dual-frame RDD telephone survey. “Dual-frame” refers to sampling both the landline and cell phone frames. “Overlap” refers to the telephone survey methodology where dual users, individuals who can be reached on both the cell phone and the landline frames, can come from either frame. This frame is widely considered to provide the most coverage in the state, and provides equal opportunity for all Wyoming residents to be selected to participate in the survey.
The justice data warehouse and the COVID-19 metrics and indicators
(Washington State Statistical Analysis Center, 2024-11-05) Georgoulas-Sherry, Vasiliki; Hernandez, Hanna
The global 2020 coronavirus pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the operations and actions of local, state, and national governments across all areas of criminal justice. The unique characteristics of this pandemic trend toward short- and long-term consequences as significant changes to criminal justice and legal outcomes. To respond to these impacts, the Washington Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) applied for and received the 2022 State Justice Statistics (SJS) grant from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). The SAC sought the grant to increase access to statistical data and create new metrics and indicators to enhance the integrated criminal justice database — the Justice Data Warehouse (JDW) — in efforts to strategically and analytically evaluate the pandemic’s impacts in criminal justice. Through this grant, the Washington SAC leveraged and built upon the JDW to expand the data variables by creating COVID-19 metrics and indicators to help assess and account for COVID-19 impacts in the criminal justice and legal system.

STOP Report 2024
(Oregon Criminal Justice Commission, 2024-12-01) Sanchagrin, Ken
House Bill 2355 (2017) mandates all Oregon law enforcement agencies to submit data regarding officer initiated traffic and pedestrian stops to the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (CJC), so the CJC can analyze the submitted data for evidence of racial or ethnic disparities on an annual basis. The Oregon Statistical Transparency of Policing (STOP) Program, housed at the CJC, was created with assistance from the Oregon State Police and the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). This is the sixth annual report to the Oregon Legislature by the STOP Program examining data received pursuant to HB 2355.
