Data and information on crime and victims addresses trends in violent and property crime in Ohio from 2001-2010, and victim reports of their victimization. In addition to violent and property crime, data are provided separately for domestic violence, hate crimes, and crimes that involve prescription drugs.

Data related to law enforcement cover the types of law enforcement agencies in the State, crisis intervention teams, officer feloniously and accidentally killed, officers assaulted, regional and statewide law enforcement initiatives, and law enforcement technology initiatives. Data on arrestees cover drug use among arrestees, drug-crime arrests, and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Information on the role of the courts in Ohio addresses the structure of the State's judicial system; specialized dockets; the roles of the judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney; and defendant's flow through the court system. Data and information on Ohio's correctional system focus on probation, community corrections programs, jails, community-based correctional facilities, prisons, recidivism, capital punishment, parole and post-release control, and reentry.
