Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $217,924)
The Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center, the Wyoming Statistical Analysis Center (WYSAC) proposes two significant projects aimed at enhancing data collection and integration within the juvenile and criminal justice systems. The first project focuses on the expansion of the Reroute juvenile justice data collection system. This expansion will involve collecting additional juvenile justice data, integrating the newly collected data with existing data from other juvenile justice agencies, and enhancing the reporting features to provide more comprehensive insights.The second project is a continuation of WYSAC's 2023 State Justice Statistics initiative. This project aims to integrate data from criminal justice, healthcare, and service providers to better understand the pathways of individuals with mental health and substance use disorders within the criminal justice system in Natrona County, Wyoming. The objective is to develop policy changes and other interventions that divert these individuals from the justice system and direct them toward more appropriate treatment options.
