Performance Metrics for Community Corrections
Pursuant to the Budget Act of 2014 (Chapter 25, Statutes of 2014), the BSCC identified a set of commonly available performance metrics to assess how local community corrections systems are functioning. The BSCC, Performance Metrics for Community Corrections, outlines 12 interrelated metrics selected for their reliability, measurability, and usefulness for policymakers and community members seeking to understand adult legal system trends. The report provides full definitions and data sources for these performance metrics, which include the:
- State prison population
- County jail population
- County non-sentenced jail population
- County felony jail populations
- Felons under probation supervision
- Felony revocations
- Straight felony sentences
- Split felony sentences
- Felony arrests
- Misdemeanor arrests
- Reported violent crimes
- Reported property crimes
BSCC produced Statewide and County-by-County Datasets and Tables for these performance metrics. The data sets and tables provide data from 2007 through 2023 and compare changes since 2007.
