criminal justice system data the data contained in this

Wire-o bound or prong fasteners

The graphics contained in this chapter were produced as a result of the analysis of the data. The demographic information is self-reported by the defendant at the time of booking — it has not been verified. Some of the data elements are not always collected. The “n” varies on each graphic depending upon the number of cases for which there was complete data for the variables being analyzed. Most of the graphics distinguish the misdemeanor cases from the felony cases. The charge class designation is taken from the event closest to the data being analyzed, for example, the charge class for the demographic data is taken from booking charge class while the charge class for the sentencing data comes from the disposition charge class.

Thanks to all of the expert help completing the necessary programming, in particular Erik Carlson from the Sheriff’s Office and Sharry Shumaker from the court. Chief Probation Officer Marshall Hopper assigned staff to examine both the prior criminal history of the defendants in the sample and the re-arrest data. Court Administrator Jake Chatters was invaluable in assisting with all issues or questions on the court data.

Jordan Rawlings is the statistician for David Bennett Consulting who provided all of the data routines contained in this report.

eightsectionCriminal Justice System data

The data contained in this chapter is an examination of a sample of new, fresh, local arrests booked into the Placer County Jail during calendar year 2011. The sample included 600 felony and 400 misdemeanor bookings taken from each of the four quarters: January, April, July, and October. The bookings did not include warrant-only arrests, out of county cases, federal only cases, or order to show cause only arrests. The jail data came from the Sheriff’s Tiburon system and the court data came from the court’s system. The data set was completed in September 2013 so that cases that show as pending had been open for between 23 and 33 months.

7.Attrition Some of the cases that were originally felonies later became misdemeanors (a few cases went the other way), which is why in some instances over the next series of graphics the felony numbers went down while the misdemeanor numbers went up. Some of the cases that originated as a domestic violence case became an “other” person crime. Some of the misdemeanor cases were enhanced as a result of prior criminal history. Some of the charges went away and defendants were charged or convicted of other offenses from that arrest. Cases that are still pending also account for some of the differences in case numbers.
