Extractions: SHERIFF HOME CONTACT INFO PUBLIC INFO MEDIA INFO ... Up Nature of Event/Incident: Sheriff's Crime Statistics for JanuaryJune 2001 Description: The Sheriff's Department crime statistics for the first six months of 2001 are now available. Highlights of these statistics are: The Part I crime rate per 1,000 declined 11% compared to the first six months of 2000. Part I violent crimes dropped 18%, while Part I property crimes dropped 10%. Sheriff Bob Brooks has released the following statement regarding the latest crime statistics: While the crime rates have fallen to a new historic low, two tragic murders which occurred since July are recent reminders that strong law enforcement and community support are as important as ever. While it is difficult to accurately attribute this downward trend in crime toward any specific factor, tougher sentencing laws such as Three Strikes certainly play an important role. Ventura County remains one of the safest areas in the country largely because of our residents active involvement in working with top-notch law enforcement agencies to keep their neighborhoods crime free. This level of cooperation was recently illustrated by the hundreds of volunteers who turned out to help in the search for Megan Barroso.

Extractions: Research in Germany indicates that youthful offenders sent to prison had higher rates of recidivism than those given alternative sanctions. Removing youths from societyeven when incarceration included job trainingappeared to negatively affect their ability to find employment when released. Among youths who received alter-native sentences, their rates of recidivism were affected by judges' and social workers' attitudes and communication abilities. Low recidivism rates were positively correlated with officials' beliefs in their clients' rehabilitation and their ability to communicate supportively with offenders.

Frontline: Juvenile Justice: Stats: Child Or Adult? - A Century Long View the conservative get tough approach to crime still widely try juveniles in adultcriminal courts; 31 states passed laws expanding sentencing options; 47 http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/juvenile/stats/childadult.html
Extractions: The century old idea in the United States that children and adolescents are less culpable and more able to be rehabilitated than adults who commit crimes has been giving way to a harsher view in recent years. Here's an overview of the evolution of society's attitudes on dealing with juveniles who commit serious crimes. In 18th century America, little distinction was made in the criminal culpability of children versus adults. Juveniles as young as age seven could be tried and sentenced in criminal courts. As psychologists and sociologists began to recognize the emerging notion of adolescence as a developmentally distinct period of life, reformers argued that children should be removed from adult prisons. In 1825, the Society for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency founded the New York House of Refuge, the first institution designed to accommodate juvenile delinquents. Many cities and states soon followed this example and set up similar institutions. Progressive era reformers wanted to attack what they believed were the roots of juvenile delinquencya lack of moral education and standardsand advocated that juvenile institutions include a significant educational and rehabilitative component. For their efforts, the earliest juvenile justice reformers were known as "child savers." During the 1960s, civil libertarians began to raise concerns about the progressive era model of juvenile justice. They argued that despite rhetoric to the contrary, juveniles within the system were not actually being rehabilitated, but rather warehoused in institutions not much different from an adult prisons. If juveniles were going to be treated as adults in the sentencing phase, the advocates argued, they should also be accorded the due process protections afforded to adults in court. They also challenged the broad discretion given to juvenile court judges. In a series of rulings during the 1960s and 1970s, The U.S. Supreme Court agreed; "There is evidence, in fact, that there may be grounds for concern that the child receives the worst of both worlds: that he gets neither the protections accorded to adults nor the solicitous care and regenerative treatment postulated for children," wrote Justice Abe Fortas in

Extractions: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 Say you're a criminal lawyer who needs some statistics. You want to show the jury the relationship between homicide rates and education levels in your state. Or maybe you need to beef up a brief with data on how many robberies were reported in your county over the past decade. The Internet could well be your initial (and final) destination. Sites hosted by federal and state criminal-justice and law-enforcement agencies provide easy access to practice guides, primary law, legal pleadings, government studies, and voluminous statistics. A good place to start is the U.S. Department of Justice, whose Bureau of Justice Statistics, www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs , houses an extensive and useful library of data about crime and victims, drugs, criminal offenders, the justice system, law enforcement, prosecution, and other special topics. Of particular use to criminal-justice professionals is Crime and Justice Electronic Data Abstracts, www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/dtdata.htm
Trends In Europe And North America Theft appears to be the crime that is solved least frequently, with the clearup Therates were also high in the United States and the Russian Youth sentencing. http://www.unece.org/stats/trends/ch13.htm
Extractions: The Statistical Yearbook of the Economic Commission for Europe 2003 Contents CHAPTER 13 Crime and safety Crimes recorded by the police Clear-up rates Clear-up rates were generally higher for violent crimes and frauds than for robberies and thefts. In the case of murder, for instance, a large majority of countries reported that at least three out of every four crimes were solved. Generally, rapes also had a relatively high clear-up rate. Excluding Liechtenstein, which had 2 reported rapes that remained unsolved, Norway had the lowest reported clear-up rate in the region at 20 percent. For serious assaults the lowest clear-up rate reported was in the Netherlands (52 percent in 1998). Theft appears to be the crime that is solved least frequently, with the clear-up rates for Italy at 4 per cent, Andorra 7 per cent and Netherlands 9 per cent in 1998 (Table 13.6). Prison population In 2000, more than 2.8 million persons were in prison in the ECE region, with approximately 1.3 million in the United States and 700 thousand in the Russian Federation. In general, there were more prisoners in relation to the population size in central and eastern Europe, the CIS countries and North America than in western Europe. The highest rate in 2000 was found in Belarus and Kazakhstan with 550 and 546 prisoners per 100 000 population respectively. The rates were also high in the United States and the Russian Federation with 468 and 460 prisoners respectively (Table 13.7).
Salt Of The Earth: Stat HouseNovember 2000 rate of crime in the United States fell by Diminishing Returns crime and Incarcerationin the 1990s from the Washington, DCbased sentencing Project examines http://salt.claretianpubs.org/stats/2000/11/sh0011.html
Extractions: From 1991 to 1998 the rate of crime in the United States fell by 22 percent. This decline occurred during a period when the number of state and federal prisoners rose substantially, from 789,610 to 1,252,830. These two developments have led some observers to conclude that the massive increase in incarceration caused the dramatic decline in crime. Diminishing Returns: Crime and Incarceration in the 1990s from the Washington, D.C.-based Sentencing Project examines this contention by comparing state-level changes in the use of imprisonment. Major findings of the report include: Crime rates declined nationally during this period, but the states that increased their use of incarceration greater than the national average achieved smaller reductions in crime than the states with below average increases. "Above average" states increased their rate of incarceration by 72 percent and experienced a 13 percent decline in crime. "Below average" states increased imprisonment by 30 percent and crime rates declined by 17 percent.
Extractions: Minister for Justice Dr Peter Toyne said Denis Burkes attempt to deliberately mislead the public to the extent he is doing reeks of arrogance - he still hasnt learnt, and hasnt changed. "Mr Burke fails to admit to the fact mandatory sentencing has been proven to not work - ABS statistics released last year for the year 2001 showed a close to 20% rise in property crime during the CLPs last year in office - compared to the 22% drop in house break-ins across the Territory last year compared to 2001. "In comparison under the Martin Government we have unprecedented numbers of serious offenders in our jails, currently there are 128 adult and 15 juvenile prisoners being held in remand pending court appearances for mostly property and assault type offences. "Denis Burke is trying to muddy the waters by drawing totally inaccurate conclusions and misreading the statistics, the most comprehensive and easily understood statistics ever released in the Territory.

Extractions: Japan Most of this data is from the Seventh United Nations Survey on Crime Trends and the Operations of Criminal Justice Systems (1998-2000) as of 3rd December 2003. The countries are ranked in order of crime rate per 100,000 persons, averaged over the six years sampled. Consideration is also given to the general trend shown. i.e. where two countries are roughly equal, the stats going up will be ranked higher than those going down. Travel safety advisories from the US State Department , plus the British Foreign Commonwealth Office were used to "sanity check" the data as far as possible for some non-Western countries (some data was rejected on these grounds). Backpackers and other budget tourists are an excellent litmus test of how safe a country really is! Note however that in some countries crime is concentrated in a few localities easily avoided by tourists, and so even the travel advisories are not a 100% reliable guide. A few gaps have been filled from the website of the Singapore Police Force and provided links to breakdowns across states within those nations where appropriate, e.g. Australia and the USA.

Extractions: bl From: bhv@areaplg2.corp.mot.com ( Bronis Vidugiris ) Date: Wed, 27 Jul 1994 17:27:36 GMT In some post which seems to have disappeared from my spool, there were some comments about how the prison system treats women (murderers in particular). Here is some data on the topic. It's slightly out of date (1986) - the big problem was getting prison composition data. (Unfortunately, this has been changing, so the out-of-datedness could well change the figures. It's the most recent data I could find though - getting prison composition data is the problem here.) Perps (NCS data) Prison Composition Crime Male Female Unknown Male Female Rape 95.0 1.7 3.3 99.8 .3 Simple Assault 83.9 15.7 .4 Aggravated Assault 87.2 12.1 .6 96.2 3.8 Robbery 87.0 11.1 1.9 97.8 2.3 Murder* 85.8 13.5 .6 95.0 5.1 *UCR data The conclusion, in a generic sense, which follows is that women are underrepresented in prison for a broad spectrum of violent crimes, including murder. Murder is a particularly tricky issue. It's hard to tell how much to trust police reports. I think that the bias of the justice system as a whole is best addressed by looking at other crimes where data by the victim is available, and assuming similar biases apply to murder. YMMV - but there seems to be no objective way to determine the true facts in a murder case.
