As a compen- dium of SAC activities and products, the Directorybriefly describes the research projects, programs, and publications of each SAC in a user-friendly fashion. It is intended to serve as a resource for criminal justice policy makers, practitioners, and researchers through the country. The Directory reflects the diverse array of criminal justice issues confronting the States and the unique role of the SACs in supporting policy and program development. It documents emerging areas of concern in the justice system, the efforts States have undertaken to address them, and the pivotal role information and analysis plays in the process. It is a key source of information for anyone interested in improving the administration of justice at the local, State, or national level. On behalf of the Justice Research and Statistics Association, I would like to thank the Statistical Analysis Centers in the States and Territories for their contributions to this edition of the Directory, and more importantly for the pivotal work that each SAC performs. I would also like to express our appreciation to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice for continuing to support the publication and dissemination of the Directory. I hope you find this Directory useful, and welcome your comments for improving the report. Roger K. Przybylski President, JRSA Associate Director Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority THE JUSTICE RESEARCH AND STATISTICS ASSOCIATION JRSA is a professional association of criminal justice analysts, researchers, and prac- titioners committed to providing accurate and timely information in support of sound policy development. Directors of the State Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs) are the voting members of the association. JRSA's goals are to expand the analytical capabilities of State statistical agencies; promote the exchange of information and technology within the criminal justice community; encourage cooperation among the States in addressing common policy-related problems; and facilitate liaison between the States and the Federal govemment. JRSA was organized by the States in 1974 as the Criminal Justice Statistics Association, a private, non-profit organizat!on, and became the Justice Research and Statistics Association in November 1991. Funding is provided by grants, contracts, and member- ship dues. JRSA works closely with the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, and other Federal agencies to promote the effective use of criminal justice information and professional standards for analysts. JRSA programs include 1) a clearinghouse of criminal justice resources in the States; 2) conferences and seminars that cover a wide range of criminal justice issues; 3) multistate, policy-oriented research; and 4) training and technical assistance in the application of computer technologies. Training and technical assistance are conducted both on site in JRSA's Training and Technical Assistance Center and in selected locations around the country. Topics cover the use of computers for a vadety of statistical, graphics, and operational applications. In addition to this annual Directory, JRSA publishes a newsletter, The JRSA Forum;, grant notes, etc., a bulletin announcing funding opportunities offered through the Office of Justice Programs and other Federal agencies; research reports; and technical bulletins.

The Directory indicates, by jurisdiction, many of the justice-related issues and problems examined throughout the country during 1995 by the State Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs). It also summarizes research undertaken by the SACs in response to these issues and problems. The Directory is a valuable aid to those who seek to identify sources of State criminal justice information. It provides the means for national policy makers to leam the major cdminal justice issues under debate and analysis in the States. State policy makers will gain critical knowledge about the current activities of other States in dealing with similar issues, problems, and concems. Statistical Analysis Centers conduct objective analyses to meet critical planning needs and address statewide and systemwide criminal justice policy issues. SACs contribute to viable, effective policy development through statistical services, research, evaluation, and policy analysis. The SAC program originated in 1972 as a component of the National Criminal Justice Information and Statistics Service (NCJISS). Although some SACs are predominantly funded by their States, they continue to maintain a close working relationship with the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, which supports special research and analysis activities. Since the advent of State funding, many of the agencies have changed their names. To maintain consistency when referring to these agencies in the Directory, the generic term Statistical Analysis Center is used. The Justice Research and Statistics Association surveys the SACs annually to determine the types of research, analytical activities, and publications in which they are involved. Survey results are entered into a computerized index called the Database of State Activities and ResearchBDSAR. DSAR contains information on SAC research, analy- ses, clearinghouse activities, and other projects, as well as SAC reports and publications from 52 States and Territories. This 13th edition of the Directory, which continues to serve as a guide to criminal justice programs and policy research conducted in the States, is a summary of 1995 SAC activities and publications. The Directory is organized into five sections for easy use: • Section I contains a brief summary of SAC research and analysis activities focusing on the major criminal justice policy issues confronting the States in 1995. • Section II provides a detailed listing of SAC activities including the project title, a brief description, data sources used, date of completion, and a contact person for each SAC activity. The list is organized alphabetically by State. • Section III is a list of recent reports published by the Statistical Analysis Centers. • Section

  • FEDERAL FISCAL YEARS 2006-2008 South Carolina
    FORMULA GRANT FUNDING PLAN FEDERAL FISCAL YEARS 2006-2008 South Carolina Department of Public Safety Office of Justice Programs March 2007 2-1 Three-Year Plan 1.) Updated Description of the System A. Structure and Function of the Juvenile Justice System South Carolina has a largely centralized juvenile justice system, separate and apart from the adult system, and the state bears over 90 percent of the costs of juvenile justice. Although juvenile law enforcement duties are dispersed among the many law enforcement agencies, judicial services are provided by family court judges operating under the South Carolina Unified (Statewide) Family Court Judicial System. Additionally, juvenile justice services are provided by a single state agency, the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), formerly the Department of Youth Services. DJJ provides a full range of services including: prevention programs, detention/release screening, intake services, probation and aftercare supervision, services to the victims of juvenile crime, restitution programs, institutional programs, community supportive functions, institutional treatment, educational programs, and Interstate Compact administration. The goal of this broad spectrum of services is promoting public safety, preventing delinquency, and rehabilitating juvenile offenders. Major components of the juvenile justice system are described in order of contact with a juvenile as follows: (a) Law Enforcement: The primary functions of law enforcement are apprehension, detention, and referral to the judicial system for further action. Within the scope of their prescribed functions, law enforcement officers and agencies have discretionary powers and the latitude to exercise their best judgment on the proper disposition of cases before them. The discretionary powers relate to choices concerning apprehension, pressing charges, and detention.

  • From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988
    From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988 Elizabeth Kai Hinton Submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2012 Elizabeth Kai Hinton All rights reserved ABSTRACT From Social Welfare to Social Control: Federal War in American Cities, 1968-1988 Elizabeth Hinton The first historical account of federal crime control policy, “From Social Welfare to Social Control” contextualizes the mass incarceration of marginalized Americans by illuminating the process that gave rise to the modern carceral state in the decades after the Civil Rights Movement. The dissertation examines the development of the national law enforcement program during its initial two decades, from the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, which established the block grant system and a massive federal investment into penal and juridical agencies, to the Omnibus Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, which set sentencing guidelines that ensured historic incarceration rates. During this critical period, Presidential Administrations, State Departments, and Congress refocused the domestic agenda from social programs to crime and punishment. To challenge our understanding of the liberal welfare state and the rise of modern conservatism, “From Social Welfare to Social Control” emphasizes the bipartisan dimensions of punitive policy and situates crime control as the dominant federal response to the social and demographic transformations brought about by mass protest and the decline of domestic manufacturing. The federal government’s decision to manage the material consequences of rising unemployment, subpar school systems, and poverty in American cities as they manifested through crime reinforced violence within the communities national law enforcement legislation targeted with billions of dollars in grant funds from 1968 onwards.

  • Indiana State Report on Human Trafficking 1 | P a G E
    Indiana State Report on Human Trafficking 1 | P a g e December 1, 2016 Dear Colleagues, Human trafficking, a scourge against humanity, has far reaching impacts nationally, internationally, and in Indiana. I am pleased to provide the first comprehensive report in the State of Indiana on human trafficking. This is a project prepared over the past 18 months by many individuals and organizations who contributed to the work of the Indiana Protection for Abused and Trafficked Humans Task Force (IPATH), the state-wide human trafficking task force, and others who serve victims and who contribute daily, such as members of law enforcement, victim advocates and legislators. In 2009, when I first became co-chair of the task force with the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, little was known about this horrific crime, its victims, the perpetrators, or the trauma inflicted on those who fall prey to it. Through my service as the Chair of the National Association of Attorneys General Special Committee on Human Trafficking, I further realized the scope of this scourge and its impact on victims nationally and across the globe. Today we know far more than we did then, or even as far back as 2005 when the taskforce was first created. While we have made tremendous progress in policy, legislation, and research, we still have a long way to go. I am proud to present a summary and overview of the work done by many people in our state, from victim service providers to law enforcement, to lawmakers and researchers. This report represents a cumulative picture of those efforts, and outlines, most importantly, a path forward with ideas, recommendations and thoughts for the future.

  • Discipline Or Crime: an Analysis of the Use of Memoranda of Understanding to Regulate School Resource Officer Intervention in South Carolina Schools
    Student Note Discipline or Crime: An Analysis of the Use of Memoranda of Understanding to Regulate School Resource Officer Intervention in South Carolina Schools. By: Jill Lesley* ABSTRACT School Resource Officers (SROs) have become an integral part of the education environment and are the product of a societal and policy- minded push of law enforcement in schools. As a result of both federal and state legislation, the number of SROs has increased dramatically and has led to an interest in several topics including juvenile justice, criminal law, and police reform. Academics, legal scholars, and policy makers have nearly all agreed that school discipline and law enforcement are distinct concepts, and law enforcement should not be involved in the administration of school discipline. However, these concepts often overlap. This overlap has evoked a need for tools to help delineate the roles of law enforcement and school administrators regarding the school environment and student conduct. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been identified by research as a key tool in laying out the roles and responsibilities of school administrators and SROs and has been introduced by legislation in a number of states. MOUs from seven school districts in South Carolina were analyzed by this paper for their compliance to state educational regulations and effectiveness in achieving clarity with the SRO-school district relationship. After analysis, all seven districts reviewed were found to be out of compliance due to authorization of SROs to intervene in conduct they were prohibited from intervening in by the State. Key issues identified with the MOUs and educational regulations include: use of pro forma language, broad and vague definitions of student criminal behavior, and little definition of school administrator roles _____________________________ * Candidate for Juris Doctor, University of South Carolina School of Law, Class of 2022.

  • Legal Corner
    Legal Corner Dave Emmert General Counsel, Indiana School Boards Association Feel painted into the corner by certain legal issues? The paint may be dryer than you think if the terrain of the law is known. This column is intended to discuss appropriate considerations to resolve a certain problem, and should not be viewed as legal advice. What should be considered in revising student discipline handbooks to more effectively address violent behavior? 1. Elementary school handbooks are in the greatest need of review and upgrade. They are often deficient because of the failure to list a sufficient number of grounds for suspension and expulsion. Failure to include the types of conduct that may lead to suspension or expulsion means that a student may not be legally disciplined. It is advisable to use the comprehensive language of high school handbooks when listing the grounds for discipline at the elementary level. 2. Immediately following the list of specific grounds for suspension and expulsion, be sure to state the ground that is addressed at IC 20-8.1-5.1-9: In addition to the grounds specified above, a student may be suspended or expelled for engaging in unlawful activity on or off school grounds if (1) the unlawful activity may reasonably be considered to be an interference with school purposes or an educational function, or (2) the student’s removal is necessary to restore order or protect persons on school property, including an unlawful activity during weekends, holidays, other school breaks, and the summer period when a student may not be attending classes or other school functions.
