What questions can be answered with such data? • Is our recidivism rate (however best defined) going up or down? • Do the services we refer people to decrease their recidivism? • Is flash incarceration leading to behavior change? • Do offenders given split sentences do better, worse, or the same as offenders given straight sentences? • Do offenders placed on electronic monitoring do better, worse, or the same as offenders given straight or split sentences? • Do we have the right set of service and program options in place? • Are their promising evidence based practices being used elsewhere that could benefit our county?
