Discussed and Decided
at August 15 R&E Meeting
Results of interviews with CCP Executive Members
Simpler data presentation for CCP monthly meetings
• Some wanted more advice and “so what”
• Now moving to a more analytic-outcome based
reporting format
• Need to explore outcome measures and sources
• Many felt that the R&E Committee should vet data
before presenting it to the CCP
• Focus on outcomes of programs and alternative
sentencing: Limits of non-randomized samples and small sample sizes
R&E Committee Agreed to
• Use the CPOC and Sheriff’s Association data
“dashboard” for monthly updates.
• Meet more often to review data two weeks
before the CCP meetings.
Owen Research Evaluation will
• Plan for “so what” reports re trends and policy
recommendations.
• Design more analytic/outcome-based reports
at 4 or 6-month intervals.
• Plan for these reports to be presented to R&E.
• Explore additional data sources, for example,
–
–
–
–
Arrests/Success
Filings
Early releases
Other outcomes
Owen Research Evaluation will
• Continue to meet with data partners to refine
data analysis.
• Develop & vet Annual Report Design
• Collaborate with Turning Point to design a
process and outcome study (working with
Turning Point staff for a data sharing
agreement).
• Have an advisory role to NIC/Urban Institute
Transition from Jail to Community (TJC).
