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?
