SAC Publication Digest Volume XXXII January - June 2020 JRSAJustice Research and Statistics Association SAC Publication digest Volume XXXII January - June 2020 Y=a+bX Justice Research and Statistics Association SAC Publication Digest Vol. XXXII The Justice Research and Statistics Association (JRSA) is a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to the use of nonpartisan research and analysis to inform criminal and juvenile justice decision making. We are comprised of a network of researchers and practitioners throughout government, academia, and the justice community. At the core of this network are state Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs), which are units or agencies at the state level that use information from all components of the criminal justice system to conduct objective analyses informing policy and practice at the state and local levels. While most SACs are housed within their State Administering Agency (SAA), the location of SAAs varies from state to state. Of the SACs located outside of government agencies, all but one are located within academic institutions. The remaining SAC is a registered non-profit public benefit corporation. 1 Justice Research and Statistics Association SAC Publication Digest Vol. XXXII SAC Publication Digest – Volume XXXII The SAC Publication Digest is a comprehensive collection of abstracts of state Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) reports, including reports produced for the SACs by outside authors or organizations. The Digest briefly describes the publications published by each SAC during this period and covers a wide array of justice topics and analysis approaches not available from any other source. The Digest is a resource for anyone concerned with understanding the current major justice issues as well as the administration of justice in the states. This volume of the SAC Publication Digest includes publications on the following topics. Administrative/ Strategic Planning Juvenile Justice Covid-19 Law Enforcement Corrections Other Courts/Sentencing Policy Analysis Crime Statistics Racial Profiling Domestic Violence Sexual Assault/Sex Offenders Hate Crimes Substance Abuse Human Trafficking BJS has long supported the establishment and operation of Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs) in the states and territories to collect, analyze, and report statistics on crime and justice to Federal, state, and local levels of government, and to share state-level information nationally. The information produced by SACs and their involvement in criminal justice projects has been and will continue to be critical to local, state, and federal criminal justice agencies and community organizations as they develop programs and policies related to crime, illegal drugs, victim services, and the administration of justice. This project was supported by Grant No. 2018-86-CX-K038 awarded by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.

Covid-19 Illinois The Criminal Justice System and Pandemic Preparedness and response: Operating in the Age of Coronavirus Jessica Reichert, Lilly Gleicher, H. Douglas Otto, Amanda Vasquez, and William Watkins Illinois criminal Justice Authority April 2020, 18 pp. The COVID-19 pandemic poses unique challenges for the criminal justice system.

This article describes some of the challenges confronting criminal justice system practitioners during the pandemic and offers guidance on policy and practices to ensure their safety. Topics covered include policing, crime trends, community supervision, jails, prisons, victim services, behavioral health, homelessness, and additional resources.

In this dissertation, the social impacts experienced in the Athabasca region of Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB), Alberta, Canada and the Bakken Play in western North Dakota, U.S.A will be explored. This is a multi-site, multi- cultural, and multinational study that compares the responses from these rural geographically diverse regions. A questionnaire was completed by the 95 respondents that participated in this study; 40 from RMWB and 39 from different locations throughout the Bakken Play. In addition, 16 Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation (MAH) enrolled members from Fort Berthold Indian Reservations (Three Affiliated Tribes) were included as well. An interview followed the completion of the questionnaires. The resultant mixed methods approach captured their demographic data, socioeconomic, attitudes, perceptions, subjective well-being, and community attachment in the boomtown environment.
