.1 SECTION I: OVERVIEW OF SAC ACTIVITIES
TABLE OF CONTENTS The Directory of Criminal IY.!tice Issues in the State§ is a directory " of criminal justice programs and policy research conducted by the state Page Statistical Analysis Centers (SAC). The Directory is designed to serve Acknowledgments three baaic purposes: inform national policymakers on critical criminal ii justice issues under debat~ and analysis in the states; inform state policy Foreword makers on the current acth~ity of other states to promote the exchange iii of criminal justice information; and strengthen the visibility and awareness GJ~;·.': of the work of the SACs.

Moat a~e now state funded agencies 96 but continue to maintain a clolie working 'elationship with the Bu.reau Appendicu of Justice Statistics. Since the advent of state funding a majority of the agencies have taken a variety of titles. However, to s'implify the discussion the generic term SAC is used throughout this directory. Appendix 1 - The Statistical Analysis Centers 108 In 1983 the staff of the Criminal Justice Statistics Association Appendix 2 - The Criminal Justice Statistics 113 Association (CJSA) surveyed the SACs and developed a computerized index to state activities in criminal justice. Th.e Association provid,es general information and reports, on the activities of any state or substantive area- courts, sen tencing, rape - contained in .the data base. This directory is a summary of the 259 activities presently ()n the eJSA index file. 1,1 Below is a summary of SAC activities conducted in 1983. The details of each activity are listed in the directory. This section focuses on the thr·ee major areas of SAC activity - crime statistics reporting, legislative studies, and information systems - and the substantive issues which were the focus of SAC research and analysis •

Activities which are common to SACs include the collection, dis;emina tion, and publishing of state crime data; legislative impact analysis; information systems development; and research on criminal justice policy issues. The following discussion highlights the major SAC activities conducted in each of these functional areas. Crime Statistics Repo.uing. The ~nalysis of state crime data is .c" {/ a major task of the SACs. The' majority publish an annual report of UCR I; j lor; data with an accompanying analysis of historiCliltrends, or comparisons i of state and national crime data.

on police training. Salary and fdnge benefit information was collected in two states. Crime issues in this area involved the analysis of assaults on police officers,road patrol, police use of force, and crimestopper activities.
Courts. Sentencing studies were the thrust of court related SAC activities. One SAC summarized research on mandatory sentencing and analyzed the impact of judicial guidelines. Another SAC reviewed sentencing reform undertaken in other states and assessed the implementation and consequences of such reforms. SAC staff provided support to a governor's task force on sentencing in one state. In another state SAC staff served on a task force concerned with court unifica tion. SECTION II: THE DIRECTORY Victim Research. Concern for victims of crime is now an integral p~rt of criminal justice policy and research. In· 1983 fifteen of the SACs worked on projects that dealt with victim assistance, victim demographics, vi,ctimization questions, or crime prevention iuues. Nine statu p,repared statistical reports on specific crimes, i.e., rape and homicide, which foc-used on victim oriented issues. One SAC assisted a state victim's assistance task force and another supported the state victim compensation board. Four SACs worked on public opinion projects which measured the public's attitudes towards crime prevention techniques, victimization, evaluation of services, and crime reporting. Studies which focused on specific victim related issues involved restitution, child abuse, and battered spouse assaults. ,,'
