| | | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2006 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | In 1997, the Illinois State Police's (ISP) Bureau of Identification (BOI) initiated a project to redesign the criminal history record information system using National Criminal History Identification Program (NCHIP) funds. Testing of the new system began in 1998 and implementation of the system was completed in 1999. At that time, the ISP began using an upgraded Automated Fingerprint Identification System, AFIS-21/EX, in conjunction with a reconfigured computerized criminal history record identification system based on relational database technology. The system allows for the electronic receipt and transfer of demographic and fingerprint arrest data, via livescan technology, from local law enforcement entities to the ISP. The redesigned CCH system also established a direct interface with the FBI's Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), and the National Criminal Information Center (NCIC). When this connection became operational in 2000, Illinois arrest fingerprint and associated demographic information could be forwarded automatically to the FBI without the local agencies submitting an additional manual fingerprint card. Response from the federal system could be expected within hours instead of days or weeks due to its enhanced system. Despite livescan's positive aspects, this audit investigates users' problems with the technology. | | | | Date Created: | 07 01 2006 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003662 Original UID: 3507 FIRST WORD: Criminal | |

| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | In response to the rising rates of DUI offenses in Cook County, and in an attempt to break the cycle of offending for the women sanctioned to supervision as a result of a DUI offense, the Cook County Department of Social Services implemented the Community Based Transitional Services for Female Offenders (CBTSFO) program in June 2004. The program is designed to provide intensive, individualized services in addition to group substance abuse treatment for female offenders under the supervision of the Cook County Department of Social Services. All women participating in the program are identified as in need of substance abuse treatment, and charged with a DUI offense, which includes the influence of alcohol or major intoxicating compounds. The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority contracted with researchers Southern Illinois University to conduct an independent assessment of the program. The assessment consisted of a two pronged approach that included a process evaluation with specific attention to the adherence of the program to best practices for female offenders, and an outcomes assessment based on existing data that allowed for an examination of the success of the CBTSFO program participants in comparison to other female offenders under supervision for a similar offense. Here, findings of the full report from this evaluation are summarized. | | | | Date Created: | 07 2007 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003667 Original UID: 3502 FIRST WORD: An | |

| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This report examines qualitatively the re-entry experiences and trajectories of 39 Chicago-area ex-convicts during the first year of their most recent release from incarceration in a State penal facility. The analysis of interview data is comparative in several ways: First, the authors discern changes in individual participants over time by drawing on data collected in six interviews over a one-year period. Second, they scrutinize the similarities and differences between and among participants as we account for variation in the social and economic processes implicated in the processes attendant to community reintegration. Finally, the data permit a comparison and contrast of gang-involved (or formerly gang-involved) and non-gang involved ex-convicts, the goal being to account for the role of past and/or current gang activity in community reintegration. | | | | Date Created: | 07 15 2005 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003672 Original UID: 3512 FIRST WORD: Community | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Three research questions are examined in this report. First, do individual- and household-level correlates of nonfatal victimization differ between males and females? Second, do these correlates differ between males and females across several types of nonfatal violence? And third, do individual- and household-level predictors of nonfatal victimization across victim and offender relationships differ for males and females? To address these questions, Illinois Crime Victimization Survey (ICVS) data were used. The purpose of the ICVS is to ascertain the nature and extent of statewide and regional crime victimization in Illinois. Analyses were conducted using the ICVS data provided by the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA). These data were collected using the Illinois Crime Victimization Survey (ICVS) which measured the nature and extent of statewide and regional crime victimization in Illinois during 2002. Recoding and verification tasks were conducted using Statistical Software for the Social Sciences (SPSS), and correlation matrices and logistic regressions were performed using Stata. Analyses offered valuable information about differences in predictors of violence for males and females, including differences by crime type and by victim and offender relationship. | | | | Date Created: | 2003 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003673 Original UID: 3513 FIRST WORD: Violent | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This report was developed to provide an overview of the extent and nature of methamphetamine use and abuse in Illinois' Eighth Judicial Circuit. The analyses compare methamphetamine trends in the Eighth Judicial Circuit to drug trends in Illinois and examines how selected measures used in the analyses could be more effectively identified, gauged, monitored, and evaluated. Through the use of existing local- and state-level aggregate data, the research sought to gauge the migratory characteristics of methamphetamine as an emerging drug by examining prevalence indicators relative to consequence indicators. In addition to examining county-level trends, the report also examines methamphetamine activities across Illinois. | | | | Date Created: | 02 2006 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003674 Original UID: 3515 FIRST WORD: Methamphetamine: | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The overall goal of the Redeploy Illinois Public Act is to reduce the number of juveniles committed to the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) by providing incentives to counties to create local resources that will more effectively meet the needs of delinquent youth while at the same time keeping the community safe. The program is being implemented using a variety of approaches across four pilot sites, in Macon County as well as the 2nd Judicial Circuit, St. Clair and Peoria counties in Illinois. This report is focused exclusively on the evaluation of the Macon County pilot program. The evaluation approach was designed to address the unique characteristics of this pilot site through establishing key performance indicators and research questions for assessing the impact and implementation of the Redeploy Illinois program. Five performance indicators were identified for assessing the impact of the Redeploy Illinois program and six performance indicators were identified for assessing the implementation of the program. | | | | Date Created: | 12 2005 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003675 Original UID: 3516 FIRST WORD: Redeploy | |

| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Racial disproportionality in prison admissions for drug crimes in Illinois prompted the Authority to commission a more in-depth analysis of the problem. The products of the analysis were slated to appear in four complementary reports examining the disproportionate confinement of minority drug offenders. The first discussed racial disparities in criminal justice processing for drug crimes at the national level and provided the background for the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority-commissioned analysis (Lurigio, 2004). The current report, which is the second in the series, is designed to promote a basic understanding of the structure and content of Illinois' drug laws. It discusses the major components of those laws as originally drafted as well as additions and enhancements to those laws that were enacted from 1985 to 2002. | | | | Date Created: | 11 17 2006 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000003678 Original UID: 3519 FIRST WORD: Disproportionate | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | In their 2000 study, the Human Rights Watch found that Illinois ranked first in the country with respect to Black-White disparities in prison sentences for drug crimes. 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 | |
| | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | In February 2005, the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, in collaboration with the Illinois Integrated Justice Information System initiative, conducted a review of two private providers of conviction records. 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 | |
