This report examines publicly available data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), building on a series of reports developed through a Statistical Analysis Center grant to evaluate sex and racial disproportionalities across crimes against persons, property, and society, with the goal of better understanding which demographic groups are most impacted and how these trends vary over time, while also integrating these findings to assess differences across crime types collectively.

This report examines jail populations, which continue to be under-evaluated and under-researched despite the high volume of individuals who interact with jails compared to other carceral facilities, by analyzing jail booking rates as a key measure of public safety and the effectiveness of the criminal justice system, and by tracking these trends over time to provide insights that support justice-involved individuals and promote successful reintegration into the community following a jail stay.

This report examines how tracking recidivism provides critical information to support successful reintegration into the community following a prison sentence—thereby promoting community and public safety—while also analyzing which individuals are more likely to recidivate and assessing demographic differences over time to generate deeper insights for improving reentry outcomes.

This report examines publicly available data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) to evaluate sex and racial disparities and disproportionalities, with the goal of understanding which demographic groups are most impacted and how these trends change over time, while also assessing demographic differences in bias motivation, the use of weapons and/or force, and victim-offender familiarity in crimes against society, which are typically considered victimless offenses

This report examines rates of recidivism, which are commonly used as a key measure of public safety and for assessing the effectiveness of the criminal justice system—including sentencing, jails, prisons, community supervision, treatment, and reentry programming—while addressing the continued interest in tracking recidivism beyond a three-year follow-up period, as long-term analysis can provide valuable insights for supporting incarcerated individuals and promoting their successful reintegration into the community following a prison sentence.

This report examines publicly available data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) to evaluate sex and racial disparities and disproportionalities, aiming to better understand which demographic groups are most impacted and how these trends vary over time, while also assessing demographic differences in the presence of injury, bias motivation, the use of weapons and/or force, and victim-offender familiarity in crimes against property.
