Consequences of AB-109
• This law shifted responsibility for specific categories of
low-level convicted felons from the behemoth California
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to
the 58 individual counties.
• Funding was provided for custody and programs, but not
research at the state-wide level.
• Fresno County stepped up and obligated money to Owen
Research & Evaluation to “track and map” the process &
outcomes.
Our approach: Hopes & Realities
• Originally hoped to relay on automated data systems
• Useful data systems:
• Adult Probation System
• Jail data system
• Courts
• District Attorney
• Behavioral Health
Challenges
• Lack of unique identifiers
• Myth of “Share-net”
• Varying degrees of utility and available support within
each system
Original Plan
• Stakeholder interviews: What do you want to know?
• Design of variable lists (thanx Susan Turner at UCI)
• Vetted through CCP
• Development of Research & Evaluation Committee
• Planning for Monthly Report
• Summer interviews to review utility

Kevin’s beautiful Dashboard
Chief Probation Officer Dashboard: Collects county-level
data from probation departments and reports at
http://cpoc.org/php/realign/ab109home.php
What we have learned….
• Planning extensive annual report: stress offender
outcomes and behaviors associated with them
• More hands on involvement with research committee with
quarterly reports
• Developing more relationships with data partners
