Redeploy Illinois Macon County Pilot Site: Impact and Implementation Evaluation Report

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

The overall goal of the Redeploy Illinois Public Act is to reduce the number of juveniles committed to the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) by providing incentives to counties to create local resources that will more effectively meet the needs of delinquent youth while at the same time keeping the community safe. The program is being implemented using a variety of approaches across four pilot sites, in Macon County as well as the 2nd Judicial Circuit, St. Clair and Peoria counties in Illinois. This report is focused exclusively on the evaluation of the Macon County pilot program. The evaluation approach was designed to address the unique characteristics of this pilot site through establishing key performance indicators and research questions for assessing the impact and implementation of the Redeploy Illinois program. Five performance indicators were identified for assessing the impact of the Redeploy Illinois program and six performance indicators were identified for assessing the implementation of the program.

Quality of Chicago Supplementary Homicide Reports Data Compared to the Chicago Homicide Dataset

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Since the Supplementary Homicide Reports has been and continues to be the source of much of our knowledge about lethal violence in the United States, it is important to know just how good that source is. To evaluate the completeness and accuracy of Supplementary Homicide Reports data in one city, the Bureau of Justice Statistics asked the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority to conduct a case-by-case comparison of the 1,784 homicides recorded in the Chicago Homicide Dataset in 1993 or 1994 to homicides recorded in the Supplementary Homicide Reports for those years. This report, the results of the comparison, provide information about the quality of Supplementary Homicide Reports data in Chicago.
