Alabama ($73,699) The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) will use FY21 SJS funds to partner with the University of Alabama to continue its efforts to implement a statewide, centralized NIBRS-compliant repository of UCR data. This has been a multi-year effort that has caused significant delays in updating ALEA’s statistical reporting capabilities and has resulted in a gap in funding requests to the SAC program. This new repository consists of data submitted by ALEA and provides software (eCrime) and an external vendor submission system that allows both large and small agencies to externally submit, validate, and store their data in the central repository. This transition to NIBRS incident-based reporting (IBR) from all law enforcement levels in Alabama will provide for enhanced data analytics, reporting, and research in Alabama. Existing reporting tools and processes are built around summary information and need to be updated to handle the new IBR NIBRS data. Funds will be used to continue the development of the backend IBR data processing engine (CRIBD) to handle the new incident-based data in Alabama. The primary objective of CRIBD is to integrate the new IBR data into the reporting channels of ALEA so that it can replace the existing summary-based reporting mechanisms that are currently in place. This project is key for the state to be able to report, analyze, and research crime data in Alabama.

Connecticut ($72,361) The Connecticut SAC (CTSAC) will use FY21 SJS funds to establish cross-branch data exchange capabilities with the Judicial Branch and develop a public facing dashboard. In collaboration with the Judicial Branch’s Court Support Services Division (CSSD), the project activities will identify technical needs and establish cross-branch capacities for dynamic data exchange. In addition, CTSAC will manage the buildout of the capacity through supporting the development of a data dashboard tool for the juvenile justice system. The dashboard will provide aggregate, descriptive statistics that enable policymakers and public users access to juvenile justice system trends organized by sociodemographic groupings. Dynamic exchange of aggregate data and dashboard hosting support will be a pilot implementation in service of the project’s ultimate goal, to stand up a long-term capacity for the Judicial Branch and the CTSAC to share justice system data and further support analyses desired by policymakers. Improving the CTSAC capabilities to share information will directly support the data dashboard development as well as increase capacity to numerous policy-makers, state agencies, and shareholders to make more informed decisions on programs and policies.

Delaware ($73,911) The Delaware SAC will use FY21 SJS funds for a 12-month research project expanding the work done in the FY20 SJS grant working with NIBRS victim-offender relationship (VOR) data.  To develop further NIBRS capacity and to respond to the needs of the state, the Delaware SAC will conduct a two-phase research project focusing on quality considerations around NIBRS VOR data. Phase 1 will be an overall analysis of VOR data to assess quality and completeness. In this phase the SAC will conduct a deeper inspection and assessment of VOR data in preparation for more detailed analytic work. This will include: 1) a frequency analysis of VOR data codes by violent offense; 2) identifying any incorrect uses of VOR due to the selection of an inappropriate victim type; 3) cross tabulation analysis to identify inconsistencies in VOR reporting by agency and offense type that are suggestive of variations in agency practices or drift from assignment criteria; 4) a frequency analysis of the VOR data for offenses flagged in the Delaware Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) as “domestic violence” to understand the range of categories assigned and to identify potential problems for further case review inquiry; 5) a review of “victim was offender” (VO) code use due to the strict assignment guidelines for this category, the implication that it should apply to more than one victim in an incident, and its common association with domestic violence incidents; and, 6) establish future research questions or hypotheses based on the assessment of VOR data quality. The end product will be a quality assessment of the NIBRS Victim-Offender Relationship (VOR) data to determine the reliability and viability of incident-based data.

District of Columbia ($75,000) The DC SAC will use FY21 SJS funds to examine the impact of COVID-19 on the criminal justice system. As vaccines become more widely available and the end of the public health emergency appears to be in sight, the DC SAC will determine what the “new normal” will be for its criminal justice system operations, including whether any COVID-related changes should remain in place and whether any pre-COVID operations should be reinstated. To inform these decisions, the DC SAC will engage a consultant who will (1) identify and summarize the operational and policy changes made by the District’s justice system agencies in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency; (2) determine how those changes affected public safety outcomes, including (a) the occurrence of particular types of crime, (b) recidivism rates of affected justice-involved persons, and (c) compliance of justice-involved persons with conditions imposed by the court and supervision agencies; and (3) determine the impact of the operational and policy changes on justice system workloads. To address these research questions, the consultant, in collaboration with the DC SAC, will collect and analyze publicly available data on reported crimes, as well as administrative data on justice-involved populations that were affected by COVID-19-related operational and policy changes, including those who were issued citations as opposed to arrests, those under community supervision and those released from secure facilities. The consultant will then compare that data to criminal history records, including arrest data, court case data and supervision data, to determine public safety outcomes for these individuals.

Florida ($149,828) The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) will use FY21 SJS funds for two projects using the state's CCH and incident-based reporting data.  The first project examines recidivism patterns among drug offenders using up to 20 years of follow-up data. Specifically, this study analyzes data on drug offenders released from prison or supervision between 2000 and 2020. For this study, recidivism will be defined as a new arrest or conviction of a known offender after release from custody for a drug crime. The study will analyze arrest data contained in the Florida CCH database as well as inmate and probationer records from the Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC). The analysis includes several relevant covariates of drug offending and recidivism to better understand why some drug offenders are successful at long-term release from prison while others are not. The second project will analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Florida crime trends using two sources of crime data. The first source, Florida’s CCH database, will be used to assess the impact of the pandemic on several specific types of crime within the context of long-term crime trends accounting for pre-existing trends as well as monthly and quarterly seasonality. The second source will be incident-based that Florida started collecting in September 2020. Although the collection began after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, to acknowledge the pandemic’s impacts are still in flux and ongoing policies and events may continue to affect crime is important. A complete analysis will assess the initial impact of the pandemic as well as the continued impact over time.

Georgia ($434,808) The GA SAC will use FY21 SJS funds for a two-year continuation plan to complete efforts initiated in the FY20 SJS award. After completing a thorough data quality assessment with year 1 of the current award, the GA SAC will demonstrate the uses of NIBRS to law enforcement agencies, so they can use their data for tactical decision-making and planning. The GA SAC will analyze the degree to which NIBRS data can be used as an early warning system about potential impacts on the criminal justice system during emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the interest of Georgia’s governor, an analysis on gang-related crimes and their indicators will also be conducted to gain a better understanding of gangs. GA SAC also will assess the implementation of a new hate crimes reporting module for both completeness and accuracy. The two continuation plans the GA SAC will conduct builds upon their current capabilities, while also aligning with the interests of BJS and the State of Georgia. As a second project, the GA SAC will continue to assess recidivism among persons with serious mental illness. This study will employ the help from up to four pilot jails across the state of Georgia to implement the SOAR (Select, Organize, Associate, Regulate) method for completing Social Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) applications for eligible inmates. Upon obtaining consent, demographic and outcome data (i.e., mental health changes, social ties with others, etc.), along with SSI/SSDI application data, will be tracked over time. The study will use computerized criminal history data in combination with jail and self-report data to examine both health and recidivism outcomes. Recidivism will be measured as both rate of re-arrest, chronicity of offending within and between counties, and escalation or de-escalation of offense.

Idaho ($82,153) The Idaho SAC (ISAC) will use FY21 SJS funds to collect and analyze NIBRS data in the context of COVID-19.  The ISAC will partner with Idaho’s UCR program manager to examine how the sudden shifts in policies and procedures in response to the pandemic may have affected crime patterns observed in NIBRS data. The analysis will focus on county and regional crime patterns, which have differing approaches taken in different jurisdictions (e.g. school closings, changes in policing and/or arresting decisions, etc.). An interrupted time series model will be used to compare pre-pandemic crime rates to those observed during the statewide stay-at-home order that was in effect during the spring of 2020, and rates since the stay-at-home order was lifted. Special attention will be given to topics of interest to state and local stakeholders, such as drug- and alcohol-related arrests, sexual assaults, domestic violence, and child victims of violent crimes. Data from other public sources such as correctional population counts, court filings, and clients served by victim service agencies will be incorporated to provide as full a picture as possible of the pandemic’s impact on Idaho’s justice system.

Illinois ($226,524) The Illinois SAC (IL SAC) will use FY21 SJS funds for a project to increase access to statistical data: Sharing traffic stop data and advancing interactive data visualizations. The IL SAC core capacity-building project will provide access to a new criminal justice dataset—state traffic stop data. The SAC staff will obtain and clean the traffic stop records provided by Illinois Department of Transportation. Once the data is cleaned, the dataset will be provided on the SAC website for research and public use, and SAC staff will develop user-friendly, interactive dashboards of the data using Tableau visualization software. Those who access the data will be able to execute their own analyses using the dashboards to answer research questions or learn more about traffic stops in their communities. The IL SAC will also use funds towards a project that will audit criminal history record information and the analysis of long-term predictors of recidivism. The Illinois State Police (ISP) maintains the official repository of criminal history information, including arrests, charges, and convictions. The Illinois SAC is the sole authorized auditor of this data. The project will conduct a new data audit, a non-research activity, followed by a research study using a de-identified copy of the data. The audit will be based on a full database comparison of the ISP data with data from the state corrections system and court system’s data; it will also include interviews with a representative sample of law enforcement agencies to capture current data entry and correction procedures. Completion of the audit will provide invaluable feedback on the quality of data collected by ISP (and submitted to the FBI for national use), ensure accurate data for use in revised pretrial release decisions in the State of Illinois, provide recommendations for improving data quality, and develop thorough documentation of what data is available to policymakers and researchers including what quality concerns exist. After the audit is complete and quality improvements made, IL SAC staff will continue with research using a deidentified version of the ISP data, in order to examine long-term recidivism and desistance of individuals. This will include calculation of recidivism rates (e.g., 3-, 5-, 8- , 10, and 15- year) with subsets for demographic groups and offense type, as well as comparative analysis with alternate definitions of recidivism, such as arrest without reincarceration. The desistance analysis will provide an alternate framework to recidivism for understanding reduction in risk of reoffending, using one of the largest datasets compiled for a desistance analysis.

Iowa ($225,000) The Iowa SAC will use FY21 SJS funds for five projects which are continuation projects from prior funded SJS awards. The first Core Capacity project will use funds for the current Decision Matrix (DM) by focusing on the continuing of the pilot implementation that is underway in two counties and conducting analysis of the data collected. Based on the data analysis, the SAC will recalibrate the DM based on changes made to the Iowa Delinquency Assessment (IDA). Training instructions will be developed for use of the DM. The goal is to make changes to the DM in order to minimize recidivism. The second Core Capacity project will use funds to expand the CJJP’s dashboard with predictive models (PMs) to allow for a more complete evaluation of factors that impact recidivism. Specifically, the project will incorporate data points on services that individuals received while on community-based corrections into the PMs for recidivism. The dashboard was created through FY19 SJS funding that currently displays counts of disposed charges and convictions for adult court throughout Iowa. The first Special Emphasis project will use funds to build off the data quality assessment in Iowa’s Justice Data Warehouse (JDW) from FY20 SJS funds and conduct an extract, transform, and load (ETL) of Iowa’s jail data into the JDW.  From the ETL, the Iowa SAC will establish on-going procedures to maintain monitoring data quality and reliability of jail data within the JDW. The second Special Emphasis project will use funds to continue an evaluation and outcomes assessment for Iowa’s DOC Apprentice Programs. The IDOC has a policy to provide offenders with Apprentice Program opportunities to assist them in re-entry to the public and reduce recidivism. The SAC will continue to seek methodologies that will increase the efficacy of the DOC programs as well as develop programs and policies that will seek to reduce recidivism for adult offenders. The third Special Emphasis project will use funds to update and analyze Iowa’s sex offender special sentence supervision which builds off of the FY19 SJS assessment project. This project will use a more recent cohort and examine outcomes (2+ years) of a more proportionate group of offenders serving both life and 10-year special sentences. The study will continue with the FY19 study by expanding the cohort to identify characteristics of offenders who recidivate within the tracking period.

Kentucky ($75,000) The Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet (KJPSC) will use FY21 SJS funds to conduct the third phase of an existing project previously funded under the SJS-SAC program to analyze the operations of the parole board over time, and to assess the outcomes of cases reviewed by the Parole Board. This project will add additional sources of information to a dataset of all cases that were reviewed by the Parole Board. The dataset will allow the KY SAC to assess outcomes and parole decision-making, and will allow the SAC to stratify the sampled cases based upon the specifics of the offender and offense. In this phase the existing data, compiled with 2020 funding, will be linked with additional sources of administrative and case management data. In addition, this phase of the project will allow for the collection of qualitative data through direct interactions with parole board members and other stakeholders. The dataset will include all of those individuals who were either eligible for parole or who appeared before the Board for a revocation hearing, and will provide information about their demographics, risk/protective factors, criminogenic needs, substance use, custody classifications, administrative sanctions, treatment programming, and offense type as well as the decision reached by the Board, the composition of the panel, and any additional notes or information that are available. The Special Emphasis component of this project will include the analysis of state criminal history records, and will build upon the previous phase of the project described above.  Data sets created from the Core Capacity project will be used to identify outcomes (e.g. re-arrest, return to custody, additional charges, deferment/serve out, revocation, etc.) for those who appeared before the Parole Board. This phase of the project will provide evidence that will help Kentucky better understand the Parole Board process and operations, and identify factors that influence outcomes such as the composition of the panel, case and offender characteristics, external influences, and the like. Although this project primarily uses administrative data from within the Commonwealth, it will allow state policy makers, as well as those in other states, to more effectively direct funding.

Louisiana ($77,000) The Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice (LCLE) Louisiana Statistical Analysis Center (LSAC) will use FY21 SJS funds for a 12-month project that will focus on criminal justice data in Louisiana. This project will expand, enhance, and maintain a criminal justice data system from law enforcement and construct a criminal justice performance retrieval system. This system will improve the ability for LSAC to access statewide criminal justice data for purposes of research, analysis, data sharing and compiling reports to assist Louisiana lawmakers. The LSAC will develop TrackCrime, a unified enterprise level system with a responsive web-based design for all devices. It will be a replacement to legacy systems. Organizations will have the capability to electronically submit crime details beyond summary reports to the State Repository. The project will include quality control modules put in place to monitor data submissions and data quality issues.

Maine ($75,000) The Maine SAC will use FY21 SJS funds to partner with the Maine Prosecutors’ Association to analyze a cohort of data and use that data to develop recommendations for balancing limited resources to the prosecutorial districts. The project will establish statewide and district level baseline figures that can subsequently be used for comparative purposes. The project team will do so by delivering descriptive, trend, and analysis of prosecutorial data for the period covering 2017-21 for each district and aggregated at the state level. The report will establish conviction rates over the five years by district for a variety of criminal case types. The report will assess the number of defendants charged by district, and will examine the number of individuals diverted as well as those individuals whose cases are assigned to specialty courts (e.g., drug court, mental health court). In addition, the report will examine how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the number of and types of cases the DAs have responded to over the last two years of the study period.

Maryland ($69,862) The Maryland SAC (MSAC) will use FY21 SJS funds for two projects. One under the theme “collecting and analyzing data on criminal justice system processes” and one under “increasing access to statistical data” under the Core Capacity-Building Project program area. Assessing court level data to do any type of aggregate analysis has always been challenging in the State of Maryland. Recently, the Maryland Volunteer Lawyer Service created the Client Legal Utility Engine (CLUE). This tool is a datascraper that pulls data directly from Maryland’s Judiciary Case Search, which is the state’s public facing court records search. The database includes Maryland district court and circuit records dating back to 1990. The MSAC will use funds towards a continuation of 8 different research projects using analysis of this data including tracking various arrest trends, pretrial hearing results, prosecution rates, sentencing length trends, court ordered restitution, local recidivism rates, and pretrial failure rates. The MSAC will also further analyze this court data over the COVID-19 timeframe to determine what impact if any COVID-19 has had on court trends in the state. The second project in this application includes creating a data inventory for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), which are very common in Maryland and can lead to negative outcomes. This project involves receiving data from a variety of local, state, federal, and non-profit agencies. The next step would be to clean and collate all data and create an interactive dashboard that can be used to better evaluate the youth outcomes of the SAA grants that address ACEs as well as use the data to allocate resources in areas of need.

Michigan ($392,371) The MISAC will use FY21 SJS funds for three Core Capacity Projects (CCP) and a Special Emphasis Project (SEP). The first core capacity project will “assess the quality and completeness of incident-based crime data reported by local law enforcement agencies to the NIBRS by examining the reporting of simple and aggravated assaults to NIBRS to assess differences in how local law enforcement agencies have recorded assault over time and across reporting units.” This project has national implications due to the movement to NIBRS reporting. The second core capacity project will aim to “help the state develop and improve criminal justice statistical processes and make analytical tools available to agencies to better address public safety and administration of justice goals” The project will expand previous efforts between the MISAC and the Michigan State Police (MSP), by integrating the MSP’s Drug Endangered Children program into previous efforts. This project represents a sustained relationship with MSP geared toward future collaboration and capacity building. The third core capacity project will help MSP with “electronic infrastructure development, enhancements, and linkages, including developing or using new sources of data…and preparing reports for dissemination via the internet.” The project involves the development of a data dashboard for MSP’s traffic stop data. The information system will allow MSP to conduct internal benchmarking audits to assess the extent of disproportionate minority contact in traffic stops. The MISAC will produce several products including a “how-to” guide for other agencies looking to develop similar dashboards. The special emphasis project is a study of traffic stop patterns using MSP data and the newly constructed data dashboard. The project involves an empirical assessment of research questions that can be readily addressed with these data (e.g., What factors account for racial/ethnic traffic stop disparities?). Reports, presentations, and publications stemming from this project will build capacity in the MISAC, guide MSP on internal use, and teach other police agencies about internal and external traffic stop benchmarking procedures.

Mississippi ($71,157) The Mississippi Statistical Analysis Center will use FY21 SJS funds for a 12-month project to continue the efforts started under the FY18 SJS award to create an electronic repository of juvenile arrest data for the state of Mississippi. As the project determined, there is great disparity among the state’s juvenile corrections facility framework with regard to budgeting, expenditures, morale of officers, capacities for technological improvements, and training. The FY21 SJS project will examine these issues and provide the data needed to make infrastructure improvements and improve the morale of staff. An assessment of Mississippi’s 15 juvenile detention facilities will be conducted in three stages. The first component consists of an employee survey which collects demographic information pertaining to multiple variables that can be helpful in redefining workforce management strategies such as recruitment and employee turnover. The second component will convene a focus group of state juvenile detention managers and leaders in order to ascertain specific points of impact which are reflective of the issues uncovered in the FY19 SJS award, "Building Capacity: Creating a Repository of Juvenile Arrest Data in Mississippi."  The third component is a site analysis of existing infrastructures with regard to technologies and training capacities. 

Nebraska ($69,892) The NE SAC will use FY21 SJS funds to conduct a recidivism study. The NE SAC has a data sharing agreement in place with the State Court Administrator and with the ability to link data from several sources across agencies due to a previously funded SJS project, the Justice Data Transformation System (JDTS). The JDTS uses deterministic matching, followed by a probabilistic matching algorithm. The SAC will create custom cohorts and choose the recidivism time periods within the application. The JDTS also can produce de-identified datasets for research. This is the first effort by the NE SAC to do a recidivism study and the intent is to operationalize this after the initial effort and standardize the process to conduct annual cohorts and include outcome information for varying time periods.

New Hampshire ($124,006) Currently, the New Hampshire Department of Justice (NH DOJ) serves as a coordinator of data for dissemination for the state with multiple agencies throughout the state that collect criminal history information. The FY21 SJS project will create a data exchange to the NH DOJ and develop a data dashboard for a single source of criminal information for the state. The dashboard will increase the access to data sources by providing data visualization tools for state agencies as well as to the public. The NH DOJ will collaborate with multiple agencies to obtain the criminal history data in addition to obtain Tableau licenses to create and develop the dashboards. The NH DOJ will work with Manchester PD (MPD) and the NH Information Analysis Center (IAC) to build on the recent capacity building to upgrade their current software of data collection programs. SJS funding will support MPD, through a subaward, to purchase data infrastructure that will create a separate data warehouse with copied data from MPD’s RMS and dispatch data system, including the state’s NIBRS data which will be eventually enhanced through the support of SJS FY20 funds. Tableau will also be purchased to support the data collected and eventually create the data dashboard.

New Mexico ($233,998) The New Mexico Statistical Analysis Center (NMSAC) is located within the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of New Mexico will use FY21 SJS funds to enhance the data capacity by helping better understand the detention center data received, streamline the procedures used to process and recode that data, improve the management of that data, and include an assessment of the quality and completeness of the data received. The research component has three objectives. First, the NMSAC will expand upon a prior study of bail reform in New Mexico to assess the effects of bail reform on misdemeanants. To date, the NMSAC has focused on the impact of bail reform on felony-level defendants. Second, COVID-19 has resulted in changes in all aspects of society, including the criminal justice system. Changes in policies and procedures are expected to influence the composition and population of detention centers. The NMSAC seeks to understand whether and in what ways COVID-19 has resulted in changes in the detention center population. Finally, the NMSAC will explore how COVID-19 has influenced bail reform in the state, both in the short-term and longer-term. Study findings will be shared with stakeholders throughout New Mexico and publish reports on the NMSAC website.

New York ($144,611) The NY SAC will use FY21 SJS funds for two core capacity projects. 1) NIBRS data quality assessment: The 2-year project will fund one graduate research assistance (GRA) to assist in the development and documentation of NY’s NIBRS analytic reporting infrastructure and to conduct a quality review of the NIBRS data. The activities include developing analytic NIBRS files and associated documentation and a review of data elements for quality and completeness. The two analytic files the NYSAC plan to develop include a) extracts data from incident, victim, offender and offense segments allowing users to analyze victim to offender relationships such as domestic violence; and b) extracts from incident, offender, offense segments allowing users to analyze with firearm offenses. The GRA will help with the development of the reporting infrastructure and also assist SAC staff in conducting and publishing an assessment of the quality. 2) Data Accessibility: The 2-year project will fund one GRA to assist in developing and expanding public-use datasets and online analytical capabilities to provide and facilitate the analysis of criminal justice data. Some of the new reforms that the project will focus on include arrest-related deaths, use of force, and bail reform. The GRA will also help conduct analysis and prepare files, reports and part of the overall team to expand the data available on the DCJS website.

Oklahoma ($50,890) The OKSAC will use FY21 SJS funds to analyze incidents reported in the state incident-based reporting system (SIBRS) from selected agencies located within the geographic boundaries of the Five Civilized Tribes for calendar year 2019. The primary objective of the project will be to evaluate crime reporting trends in the region and evaluate the impact of the Supreme Court ruling in McGirt v. Oklahoma. Prior to the McGirt ruling, determination of what was Indian country was based largely on identifying lands held in trust for a tribe by the federal government or allotment lands owned by tribal members. Determining criminal jurisdiction was already a complex issue based not solely on the location of the crime, but also the tribal membership status of the suspect(s)/arrestee(s) and victim(s) as well as the type of crime.  Now, following the McGirt decision and subsequent Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals decisions, the tribal status of victim(s) and suspect(s)/arrestee(s) and types of offense must be carefully evaluated in roughly 29 of Oklahoma’s 77 counties in order to ensure the crimes are investigated and prosecuted by authorities with proper jurisdiction. In order to help law enforcement and prosecuting agencies in Oklahoma respond to these changes, the OKSAC will analyze crime data and publish a report detailing the number and types of offenses occurring within the counties roughly coinciding with the geographic boundaries of the Five Civilized Tribes, tribal status of victim(s) and suspect(s)/arrestee(s), and whether the location was identified as “Tribal Land” in the initial report.

Oregon ($215,977) The Oregon SAC will use FY21 SJS funds to facilitate the design and publication of several animated infographics to better explain and present complex criminal justice measures and the underlying context. Entitled “Expanding Understanding of Complex Criminal Justice System Measures,” the program will correspond with the state’s need to quickly share information that impacts different areas of the state’s public safety system. The Oregon SAC will release four to five animated infographics on key areas of Oregon’s public safety system by end of 2022 which includes racial disparity measures, traffic and pedestrian stops, and recidivism. The Oregon SAC will also use funds to conduct a deeper analysis of the trends found in the previous year’s FY20 SJS project, “COVID-19 Impact on Oregon’s Public Safety System.” The prior year’s project finds that COVID-19 had an immediate impact, then lasting changes, and throughout a nuanced influence on police stops, arrests, case processing, felony convictions, and prison intakes. More specific research questions are focused on crime classifications in the FY21 SJS project entitled, “Crime Trends and the Criminal Justice System Response to COVID-19 in Oregon.” The project will enhance Oregon criminal justice analysis priorities, as well as BJS and national priorities on the following reasons: 1) The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the criminal justice system, both nationally and locally. All these findings will inform state-level policymakers as they form long-term responses to COVID-19 and continue to reform criminal justice systems. The project will produce a written report detailing the COVID-19 impact on crime trends and specifically to violent crime and domestic violence.

Pennsylvania ($225,000) The Pennsylvania SAC (PA SAC) located in the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) will use FY21 SJS funds for two projects: one core capacity for building on data dashboards and GIS-mapping and one special emphasis on a study of firearm violence and the impact on communities. The PA SAC has been building their web site through data dashboards and GID-mapping with support from the SJS program for the past 4 years. The project will use the Alteryx software to enhance the PA SAC’s ability to process data sets to facilitate research projects conducted by PCCD. The software will also be used for the GIS-mapping which will enhance PCCD’s visual representation of data and facilitates the identification of data patterns and ranges at the county, municipal, and school district levels. The FY21 SJS project will continue to build off the prior successes to provide more access to data and better information for policy-makers and stakeholders to use in state program decisions. The special emphasis project will use funds to support Indiana University of Pennsylvania staff to obtain and analyze firearm-related datasets with the goal to develop a data-informed strategy to reduce gun violence in PA. The PA SAC has identified gaps in data analysis and research related to non-fatal firearm injuries. The project will gather data from multiple sources to ensure the analysis and study are complete and accurate. The goal is to identify and analyze gun violence rates and trends in counties and municipalities; analyze firearm related offenses, arrests, and convictions; estimate the scope and medical costs of fatal and non-fatal firearm injuries; and study the intersection of gun violence with domestic violence.

Tennessee ($80,416) The Tennessee SAC (TN SAC) will use FY21 SJS funds to improve the quality of data reported to the Tennessee Incident Based Reporting System (TIBRS) and National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS), data disseminated through the Theme Oriented Public Site (TOPS), increase the capacity to conduct in-depth analysis of data, and provide training through implementation of the following:  1) Contract with TN’s sole source vendor, Beyond 2020, to improve the quality of data collected in relation to counterfeit funds and enhance usability of all data disseminated via the Theme Oriented Public Site (TOPS) for the SAC’s constituents, 2) Partner with Middle Tennessee State University to conduct in-depth criminal justice data analysis and develop and disseminate publications/reports related to Violent/Gun crime, particularly how they have been impacted COVID-19 and domestic violence, and 3) Send SAC staff to approved national justice statistics training to aid in the on-going success of the SAC to successfully report criminal justice statistics to NIBRS and provide high quality data analysis and reporting for the state of Tennessee.

Utah ($75,000) The Utah SAC will use FY21 SJS funds towards a continuation of the FY19 SJS project, which is studying and planning the feasibility of bringing together local county jail offender management systems into a statewide jail data system. The first continuation built on this work to include mandates from the Utah Legislature (passed during the 2020 Legislative Session) to also extend data collection to county prosecutor decisions. This next continuation includes newer legislative mandates (passed during the 2021 Session) to further extend planning, data collection, and integration efforts to all local law enforcement activity, consistent with the goals of the original project. Currently, all 29 county prosecutors (as well as municipal prosecutors), 25 counties with jails, and all local police departments and Sheriff’s offices operate their own independent record management systems, with no means to connect them together or for state agencies, researchers, or policy makers to easily and efficiently access data to track populations, decisions, and offender outcomes. The Utah SAC and SAA have already hired an experienced project manager to assess the status of all county jail and prosecutor data systems along with the data needs of the SAC, other statewide agencies, and the counties, to determine if these systems and the needs are amenable to a larger system of more efficient data sharing and/or integration. This assessment and planning process will now be extended to include local law enforcement agencies and their disparate records management systems. The result of these projects will be a joint plan for moving forward toward a better way of sharing data from local and county sources (jails, prosecutors, and law enforcement) to statewide agencies and policy makers, with various options for more efficient data sharing and management. The FY21 SJS project builds on current and previous efforts by the SAC to improve sharing and access to important criminal and juvenile justice data to inform policy and decision making at the state level.

Vermont ($231,217) The Vermont SAC will use FY21 SJS funds for three projects: 1) Core Capacity Project: Custodial Arrests vs. Citations pre- and during the COVID-19 pandemic. At onset of the pandemic, law enforcement changed its response to criminal activity, shifting from custodial arrests to issuing citations, so individuals were not incarcerated pretrial. This shift allows the SAC to determine if the increase in citations resulted in an increase in arrests while defendants were awaiting trial. The project will use state NIBRS data, court data, and criminal history data to analyze pre-pandemic/during pandemic responses to crime and its impact on public safety. SAC has a data sharing agreement with the courts allowing access to their data for research, and the Vermont Crime Information Center for criminal history data. 2) Special Emphasis 1: Extreme Risk Protection Orders & Firearms Relinquishment. In 2018, the Vermont Legislature passed the extreme risk protection orders law, allowing judges to order a defendant in a relief from abuse case (RFA) to relinquish their firearms to a local police department, a federal firearms licensed dealer or a friend. With the court’s new case management system, a report will be created for RFA data and firearm relinquishments. The SAC will analyze when these orders are requested/issued and follow the orders to the local police departments to determine if the firearms were relinquished. The report will include an analysis of victim to offender relationship, age and gender of the parties, outcomes of the temporary and final orders, and the rate of relinquishment of firearms. It will determine geographic differences in the rate of requests and orders by county and type of relief sought, including a review of local police policies. 3) Special Emphasis 2: Violations of Conditions of Release (VCRs). VCRs were the most charged misdemeanor in 2019, accounting for over 3,000 charges, and have been in the top ten crimes charged for the past ten years. The report will provide a descriptive analysis of the VCR data, charge data, and criminal history data; detail the relationship between VCRs and new criminal activity; and examine the differences by county, demographics, and prior criminal histories. Included will be an analysis of the condition requiring a responsible adult take “custody” of the defendant until the case is disposed or be remanded into custody pretrial.

Virginia ($78,636) The Virginia Statistical Analysis Center (VASAC) will use FY21 SJS funds for three sub-projects to assess the quality and completeness of NIBRS reporting, produce NIBRS data reports, and improve the timeliness of published NIBRS reports. Project 1) Examine Racial/Ethnic Disproportionality Statewide in Victim and Arrestee Demographics to Identify Localities with High Rates of Disproportionality. The VASAC will develop a process to generate indicators of minority over-representation or demographic disproportionality in the criminal justice system. The over-representation will be defined as percentages of minorities in local criminal justice populations as compared to percentages of minorities in the overall population of the locality. The project will cover all 134 of Virginia’s cities and counties and indicators of minority over-representation include localities that have the highest number and rates of crime victimization and criminal arrests relative to population, by race/ethnicity; focusing on identifying violent crimes, firearms, sexual assault, domestic violence, property crimes, and drug offenses. Project 2) Examine Characteristics of Historical Increase in Virginia Homicides in 2020. In 2020, VA had its largest number of reported homicides in more than 25 years. The study will focus on homicides in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 to determine which homicides committed in 2020 are different from those in the other years. Homicide comparisons include patterns across all urban, rural, suburban areas; month/day/week; time of day; specific locations; adult vs. juveniles; alcohol/drug use; hate crimes; and domestic violence. Project 3) Access and Analyze Law Enforcement Traffic and Pedestrian Stop Data Maintained by the VA State Police (VSP). VSP currently does not have the capacity to analyze data to identify possible indicators of racially biased practices involving stops. The VASAC will work with VSP to establish a method for obtaining data from the Community Policing Reporting Database, quality-checking data, and conducting analyses of the reported information. Data maintained in the database for the study includes race, ethnicity, age, gender; reason for the stop; location of the stop; any warning or summons issued; and whether the person or vehicle was searched.

Washington ($453,432) The Washington SAC (WA SAC) will use FY21 SJS funds to expand upon the past SJS projects by leveraging the Justice Database to enrich studies aimed at addressing existing and emerging gaps in criminal justice knowledge. Through partnership with the Education Research and Data Center, the WA SAC now has access to linked employment, education, court, sentencing, jail, and prison records as well as a standardized process for quickly connecting arrest records. This multi-sector capacity makes the SAC uniquely primed to respond to the challenge presented by COVID-19 and its disruptions to criminal justice data. The use of the Justice Database’s linked data and a recent partnership to improve NIBRS reporting will enable the SAC to catalogue the anomalies occurring in criminal justice data as a result of the pandemic, and inform longitudinal research for the coming decade. The WA SAC will also address the state’s understudied jail data, and use it to inform further studies on long-term recidivism trends. All of these studies will utilize well-linked criminal justice data to build upon the past successes of the SAC, and seek to answer current questions that are important to state and federal stakeholders.

Wyoming ($222,359) The Wyoming SAC (WYSAC) will use FY21 SJS funds for three coordinated efforts. First, it will expand its collection of juvenile justice data with a jail roster module. The jail roster module will add data on juveniles who are detained or confined in a secure detention facility, correctional facility, or institution, and the electronic data collection will standardize data collection in the juvenile justice system. This addition will enable the WYSAC to follow juveniles’ movement through the entire justice system.  The second component of this project will assess the alignment of juvenile diversion programs with the research literature and best practices. Third, the WYSAC will assess the participation and recidivism rates for youth in diversion programs, with the intention of evaluating success using an equity approach using socio-demographic variables (age, race/ethnicity, gender). The WYSAC will conduct site visits to the diversion programs to share program-specific data with them on participation and recidivism rates, and to discuss their programs’ alignment with best practices. During these visits, the WYSAC will facilitate each program’s use of data and information on best practices to inform their policies and practices. The Special Emphasis project will examine offenders' criminal histories involving alcohol to explore patterns of criminal behavior and alcohol abuse in Wyoming. The purpose for this one-time analysis is to work with new data and new partners in the state to estimate the extent that alcohol abuse influences an offender’s cycle of reoffending and provide justification for addressing the pattern. The project will involve the WYSAC to establish a data exchange and conduct a systematic data quality assessment. The project builds on the WYSAC’s capacity to link Wyoming’s criminal history records to criminal justice data by adding two new sources of data (alcohol-related crime and county arrest data).
