Abstract

Most of the reported data were provided to DCJS through the monthly Crimestat process. Crimestat is the performance management system for New York State criminal justice agencies and initiatives.

The report's section on "Enforcement" presents data for specific enforcement programs as well as general enforcement. Topics address Operation IMPACT, specialized State Police Services, traffic safety, DNA Databank and Collection, eJusticeNY, and law enforcement support services. The report's section on "Managing Offenders" presents data on criminal justice population trends (local jails, probation, State prison, and parolees); management through technology; arrest and fingerprint processing; jail management and oversight; prison management; offender reentry; sex offender management; and criminal alien improvements. The report concludes with the presentation of data on the following areas of "Public Safety and Services:" child safety, victim's compensation and restitution, reduction in domestic violence, and information for victims and the public.
