This, the fifth edition of the Directory of Criminal Justice Issues in the States, is the most complete and thorough document to date, focusing on the pressing criminal justice issues facing the states and the nation. This Directory provides a synopsis of the research which has been done by 48 Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs) located throughout the United States and its territories. The research performed by these agencies covers a full range of criminal justice issues from "alternatives to incarceration" to "prison population projections." It is extensive and has practical and relevant applications for decision makers at all levels.

This edition of the Directory reflects the dramatic increase in legislative impact studies and research conducted by the SACs. The quality of research continues to improve, producing clear and objective reports based on sound statistical techniques.

I am certain that once you use this Directory, you will want to keep the wealth of information it contains close at hand as a valuable reference guide.

Steven Woodard President, Criminal Justice Statistics Association Maine Criminal Justice Data Center HOW TO USE THIS DIRECTORY

The Directory of Criminal Justice Issues in the States is a handy reference to state initiatives in criminal justice. The book is organized into four sections for easy use.

The first section is a brief description of the activities listed in the Directory. It focuses on the major criminal justice issues confronting the states in 1987.

The second section provides a summary of each SAC activity listed in the Directory. Included in each summary is the title, brief description, data sources used, date of completion, and a contact person. The list is in alphabetical order by state to aid the reader in locating a particular state or agency.

Section three is an index of all activities by issue area. Upon examination of this section, the reader may locate all SAC activities on a particular topic. The 35 issue areas found in the index are listed on page 46.

The final section is an appendix. The address and telephone number of each Statistical Analysis Center is contained in Appendix 1. Althougl1 a brief summary of each activity is provided in the Directory, the research design, findings, and other detailed information are not. The reader may request such information from the appropriate agency.

Appendix 2 contains a brief description of the Criminal Justice Statistics Association and several products offered by CJSA. Among these are the Computerized Index to Data Sources (CIDS) from wh;ch this directory is drawn, and the IMPACT Support Package. If further information is desired, the reader should contact the Association directly.

An evaluation survey is provided in Appendix 3. The survey elicits the usefulness of the Directory for you and your job. A self-mailer makes it easy to return to CJSA. Your participation in completing the survey will help us improve the Directory in the future.

iii INTRODUCTION

The Directory of Criminal Justice Issues in the States is a directory of criminal justice programs and policy research conducted by the state Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs). The Directory is presented as an aid to all who seek to identify sources of state criminal justice information. National policymakers will discover the major criminal justice issues under debate and analysis in the states. State policymakers will gain knowledge on the current activity of other states for the exchange of criminal justice information. Agencies interested in developing criminal justice libraries or resource material will find this publication of special value.

Located in almost every state, the SACs conduct objective analyses to meet critical planning needs and address statewide and systemwide policy issues. These agencies contribute to viable, effective policy develop­ ment through statistical services, research, evaluation, and policy analysis.

The SACs originated in 1972 as a program of the National Criminal Justice Information and Statistics Service. Most are now state funded agencies but continue to maintain a close working relationship with the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Since the advent of state funding, a majority of the agencies have taken a variety of titles. However, to maintain consistency, the generic term SAC is used throughout this directory.

In 1983, the staff of the Criminal Justice Statistics Association (CJSA) surveyed the SACs and developed a computerized index to state activities in criminal justice. The first volume of the Directory of Criminal Justice Issues in the States was published in June 1984, and has been published annually since. The Association has expanded the index to include a variety of sources to state information. The index (now called Computerized Index to Data sources or CIDS) contains'"information on SAC research and activity, SAC crime reports, and state automated data sets.

CIDS contains information on SAC activities from 48 states-an increase from the number reporting last year. This Directory is a summary of the 1987 activities contained in CIDS.

iv THE MAJOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE ISSUES IN 1987

Because of the importance to public policy, it is crucial that decision makers have available to them sound and accurate information on crime and criminal justice. The state Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs) provide information that advises policy decisions at the state and local levels.

In 1987, decisionmakers were faced with serious policy questions: How should public opinion influence correctional decisionmaking? What is the impact of indeterminate sanctions, i.e., electronic monitoring, intensive supervision, on corrections? Is crime predictable? How is white collar crime defined and measured? Do female and male offenders differ for type of disposition and time served in prisons and jails? What is the effect of recidivism on sentencing guidelines and prison population?

SACs responded to these questions with activity on a wide range of criminal justice issues. By categorizing the activities, we have identified 35 issues which represent the major work of the SACs. The following table summarizes these issues and the number of states involved in each one in 1987 as well as in 1986.

ISSUE NO. OF STATES ISSUE NO. OF STATES 1987 1986 1987 1986 Sentencing 37 32 Plea Bargaining 16 9 Courts 32 21 Crime Projections 15 14 Police 31 26 Rehabilitation 15 12 Juvenile Delinquency 29 21 Public Attitudes 14 14 Jail 28 19 Sexual Assault 14 i3 Drug Abuse 27 24 Alternatives to Incarceration 13 7 Prosecution 24 18 Child Abuse 13 12 Victims 24 25 Restitution 12 9 Overcrowding 23 19 Bail 11 5 Parole 22 17 Status Offenders 11 10 Probation 22 19 Female Crime 10 6 Recidivism 22 19 Homicide 10 10 Population Projections 20 16 Risk Assessment 10 9 Management/Person nel 19 25 Deterrence 9 12 Crime Prevention 17 16 Traffic Safety 8 7 Domestic Violence 17 10 Discrimination 4 Drunk Driving 17 12 Missing Children 3 5 Pretrial Release 17 10

As seen in the table, sentencing continues to be a major focus of state analytical activity. As states attempt to reform their sentencing structures, analysts are examining the impact of alternative sanctions on public safety and corrections. Since states are implementing tougher juvenile laws, many SACs are stepping up their work in assessing the impact of state and Federal programs on juvenile justice (29 in 1987 vs 21 in 1986). The jail, for years lost in the shadow of problems relating to prisons, now looms as a critical choke point in the criminal justice system. More states are examining factors affecting jail populations and alternative solutions to overcrowding (28 in 1987 vs 19 in 1986). As the criminal justice system faces its challenge to deal with domestic violence, the SACs are assisting policymakers with understanding the definition and incidence of this crime type (17 in 1987 vs 10 in 1986).

Because SACs address the major concerns of criminal justice decisionmakers, their activities serve as lead indicators of the most important criminal justice issues confronting the states and the nation. To provide the reader a quick summary of the issues each state SAC is involved in, the following table serves as a guide.

A5 APPENDIX 2: THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE STATISTICS ASSOCIATION

THE ORGANIZATION ... is a professional association of criminal justice analysts committed to providing accurate and timely information in support of sound policy development. It has over 160 members nationwide. CJSA's goals are to: 1) expand the analytical capabilities of state statistical agencies; 2) encourage cooperation among the states in addressing common policy­ related problems; 3) promote the exchange of information and technology within the criminal justice community; and 4) facilitate liaison between the states and the Federal Government. CJSA was organized by the states in 1974 as a private, non-profit organization. Funding is provided by grants, contracts, and membership dues. CJSA works closely with the U.S. Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics and other federal agencies to promote the effective use of criminal justice information and professional standards for analysts.

MEMBERSHIP ... is a national network of professionals representing every aspect of criminal justice operations and analysis. Represen­ tatives from state statistical agencies guide and set policy for the Association. Located in almost every state, these agencies-Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs)-conduct objective analyses to meet critical planning needs and address statewide and systemwide policy issues. Information contributing to viable, effective policy development is made available to decision makers through SAC statistical services, research, evaluation, and policy analysis. Originating as a professional association of SAC directors, a general membership now includes police, court, and juvenile planners; corrections researchers; and legislative analysts. These members enhance the SAC network and encourage a systemic approach to criminal justice problem solving.

THE SERVICES ... involve four program areas:

The Center for Decision Support is a division of the Association which provides training programs, technical assistance, and decision support tools to state and local policy analysts. Major activities include-

• The National Criminal Justice Computer Laboratory and Training Center in Washington, DC. A joint facility of CJSA and SEARCH Group, Inc., the Center provides hands-on training in microcomputer-based statistical, graphics, operational, and other software for criminal justice professionals. Besides presenting courses, the Center offers opportunities for demonstrations and objective evaluations of computer hardware/software products to assist criminal justice agencies in their purchasing decisions.

III IMPACT, a criminal justice population projections software package for the personal computer. IMPACT can run using any of four major projection methodologies. It allows users to 0valuate the potential impact of legislative, policy, and demographic changes on criminal justice populations . • The Decision Support Users Group. This professional network facilitates information exchange among IMPACT users and other criminal justice analysts involved in projections. It also provides a forum for communicating user needs to IMPACT development staff. Members receive training in the methodological, programmatic, and political issues involved in conducting projections.

Research and Evaluation efforts by CJSA presently focus on a national assessment of statewide drug control strategies. Futided by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, CJSA is coordinating a network of 15 states-called the Consortium for Drug Strategy Impact Evaluations-to develop a common evaluation model, collect similar data series on law enforcement drug control activities, and analyze indicators of drug use and abuse. The Consortium serves as the vehicle by which technical assistance and data development funds are disseminated, based primarily on states' needs. The project's results will be used to inform future funding decisions by Congress and the Department of Justice in the area of drug enforcement.

Clearinghouse of State Policy Resources is maintained by the Association. This on-line index, called Computer­ ized Index to Data Sources (CIDS), allows CJSA to identify state information which addresses a variety of policy issues. CIDS contains information on state policy research, published reports on crime and justice, and characteristics of research data sets. Many policy questions are answered with CIDS: What states are studying domestic violence, the impact of sentencing changes, or recidivism? What are the major policy issues in the states? What states have data on

B1 criminal histories, dispositions, parole? Requests for information are filled free of charge.

Professional Development is furthered through small group workshops and annual conferences. Members of the Association meet to address major policy issues and learn state-of-the-art statistical methods and computer technology. Several conferences and workshops we have offered addressed:

• drug control policy • exploratory data analysis • policy-oriented projection techniques • presentation of data to policymakers • prison and jail overcrowding • risk assessment

THE PUBLICATIONS ... focus on state activity in criminal justice.

The Forum is the Association's newsletter and reports on current policy analysis in the states, applied techniques, legislative issues, and members' activities. The newsletter features the latest developments in microcomputer software and hardware. The FORUM highlights research methods and tested solutions used to address criminal justice problems. The FORUM is free to members or may be ordered independently.

The Trendsetter is published quarterly and circulated among members of the Decision Support Users Group. Analysts working in criminal justice modeling and projections will find this newsletter especially useful, since it addresses research, software, and other developments in the area of decision support.

The Briefing is sent to the CJSA membership on an ad hoc basis. This one-page bulletin reports on the latest developments concerning national criminal justice issues, legislation, and Association matters.

The Directory of Criminal Justice Issues in the States is a directory of criminal justice programs and policy research conducted by the SACs The activities are listed by state and indexed by issue area. Published annually, the Directory is a handy reference to state initiatives in criminal justice and is the only compilation of its kind.

OBTS: A Foundation for Decision Support was developed by CJSA as a slide show presentation in 1986. The presentation describes the Offender-Based Transaction Statistical System and its usefulness in formulating policy. It is targeted at key people in the state decision making process to promote the implementation and use of OBTS. The presentation is available to the public in a video format through the SACs.

83 Finally, a software package to help criminal justice analysts and decisiorunakersproject the effects of policy changes on all corrections populations

IMPACT

IMPACT is an easy-to-use, flexible, menu-driven analytic tool which will allow you to forecast the flow of offenders through your criminal justice system. It is available for use with IBM PC's and all compatible microcomputers. "Our legislature just passed a tough new mandatory sentencing law. How can I estimate the impact on our future prison population?" "How will new parole critera for violent offenders affect future prison population?" "Is there any way to assess the consequences of new drunk driving legislation on jail popu lation?" IMPACT can help you find the answers to these questions ... and what's more, it's ideal for every level of experience. The package can help the novice learn basic projection procedures, while experts can use the wide variety of projection tools available for sophisticated policy analysis.

Successfully Tested in the Field

For more than two years IMPACT has been in use in more than 30 state and local jurisdictions to assess the potential impact of such things as demographic changes, changing incarceration rates, and a number of other factors on prison and jail populations.

A Wide Range of Applications

IMPACT can playa major role in forecasting prison and jail populations, and it can assist in other vital projections, such as: • Court caseloads • Probation caseloads • Probation populations • Parole caseloads • Crime patterns • Police workloads

Much More Than Just Softwatoe

Along with the software, IMPACT Users receive a User's Guide including information on how to design a projection and explanations for all the methodologies in IMPACT. Also, CJSA provides one year of tele­ phone technical assistance with IMPACT at no cost. Users become members of the Decision Support Users Group, a network of IMPACT users and other analysts involved in criminal justice projections, and receive a subscription to the Users Group quarterly newsletter, "Trendsetter." The CJSA Center for Deci­ sion Support, through the Decision Support Users Group, keeps IMPACT users up-to-date on develop­ ments in the field and will refer users to others who have similar needs and problems to solve. For more information or to order IMPACT, contact: The Center for Decision Support Criminal Justice Statistics Association Suite 606 444 N. Capitol Street, N.W. Washington, DC 20001 (202) 624-8560
