The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority awarded a small grant to TASC for a preliminary investigation of racial disproportionality in sentencing for drug crimes. The current report is the third in a series of publications that highlight the disproportionate incarceration of African Americans for drug crimes in Illinois. The purpose of the current report is to describe the results of analyses of statewide data in order to test whether Human Rights Watchs findings on disproportionality were replicable and to consider a few hypotheses thatsuggest explanations for the arrest and imprisonment data and provide a basis for future discussions of remedies for racial sentencing disparities. | | | | Date Created: | 11 2005 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003679 Original UID: 3520 FIRST WORD: Disproportionate | |

This review compared six subjects' criminal history information as compiled by two private providers with the subjects' official rap sheets and discovered that the quality of those records varied depending upon their source. In addition to recommending further research in this area, several recommendations are presented to increase the accuracy of privately compiled criminal history records and warn users of the disparity between the official and unofficial compilations. | | | | Date Created: | 06 01 2005 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003680 Original UID: 3521 FIRST WORD: Comparison | |

This report summarizes a preliminary examination of outcomes of Cook County batterer intervention programs (BIP). In Cook County, 30 community programs and one court-housed program provide a state standard minimum of 24 weeks of intervention programming for men arrested for domestic violence. The specific questions this evaluation addresses are: (1) What is the completion rate of men referred to batterer programs in Cook County? (2) What is the rate of re-arrest of men completing the batterer program compared with men not completing the program? (3) Do participants change their behavior during the program? (4) Are there identifiable factors associated with program completion, re-arrest, and behavioral change? | | | | Date Created: | 02 14 2005 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003685 Original UID: 3528 FIRST WORD: Program | |

This project, the Illinois Crime Victimization Survey (IL-CVS), is Illinois' first attempt at gauging the extent and nature of crime victimization among our state's citizens. Specifically, the goals of the IL-CVS were to: (1) estimate the rate of personal and property crime victimization in Illinois and regionally; (2) provide details about the nature of crime victimization in Illinois; and (3) assess public knowledge and utilization of crime victim services in Illinois. | | | | Date Created: | 03 01 2005 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003686 Original UID: 3529 FIRST WORD: The | |
| 3669: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2005 Feb. | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This is the third evaluation report on the status of the information technology enterprise system under development by the Chicago Police Department (CPD). Since 2001, the CPD, in partnership with Oracle Corporation and the Police Executive Research Forum, has been developing a state-of-the-art integrated criminal justice information system. This system "Citizen and Law Enforcement Analysis and Reporting (CLEAR)" is another step in the Department's ongoing quest to "police smarter" and be "intelligence driven." CLEAR is designed to provide anytime, anyplace access to vast repositories of centralized, relational data. In early 2004, the governor of Illinois and mayor of Chicago announced their commitment to building a single criminal justice database for the state and all of its criminal justice agencies. The new system "I-CLEAR" will eventually serve all of Illinois through a new partnership between Chicago and the Illinois State Police. Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications and the federal Department of Homeland Security are also now involved in these developments as well. This report describes all of these initiatives, the "launch procedures" that lie behind them and their impact on policing through October 2004. | | | | Date Created: | 02 17 2005 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003687 Original UID: 3530 FIRST WORD: CLEAR | |
