Introduction
The Juvenile Justice Information System (JJIS) Steering Committee publishes a series of annual reports prepared by the JJIS Data & Evaluation Committee, the JJIS Reports Team, and the OYA Research & Evaluation Unit.
 
The intent of these reports is to aid in the overall planning, development, and evaluation of programs designed to reduce juvenile crime.

Statewide Recidivism Reports
The Recidivism report includes statewide and county-specific measures of recidivism based on the measurement of criminal activity as a gauge of community safety.
 
The Recidivism report selects youth who had a criminal referral in a calendar year and tracks them for the following 12 months.   In order to track all youth who had a referral for a full 12-month period, the report requires complete referral data through December 31 of the following year.  Consequently, the 2007 Recidivism report - which uses referral data through December 31, 2008 - was published in 2009.

> Recidivism Trends
The Recidivism - Charts and Trends (2007) report provides a graphical representation of the 2007 recidivism data as well as Oregon recidivism trends over the past 10 years.
 
The report is a companion to the year-end 2007 Recidivism report published in March 2009.

> Recidivism Findings
OYA's Research and Evaluation Unit has compiled and analyzed data on recidivism rates of various cohorts of youth between the start of fiscal year 2001 (FY01) and the end of fiscal year 2005 (FY05).

Tracking recidivism supports the OYA’s mission by measuring the extent to which agency services have been able to protect the public. In addition, reporting the recidivism measure reflects the agency’s values of excellence in public service, openness, and accountability to the public.
 
Recidivism Findings for:


Youth & Referrals
The JJIS Youth & Referrals report contains statewide and county-specific reports describing offenses committed by juveniles and the characteristics of the juveniles committing those offenses for the reporting year.
  • The Youth & Referrals report is available in either a full report format or individually by county.  The statewide and individual county reports include the introduction and appendices from the full report.

> Referral Trends
The Total Referrals - Charts and Trends (2006) report provides a graphical representation of the 2006 referral data as well as Oregon referral trends over the past 10 years.  The report is a companion to the year-end “Youth & Referrals (2006)” report published in March 2007.

Detention
The Detention Report contains statewide and county-specific data describing admissions to and releases from juvenile detention facilities -- there are three sets of data for each county and statewide.

Detention Admissions Reasons by Demographics -- a unique count of admissions to a detention facility during the year, by the reason the youth was admitted to the facility and demographic characteristic (gender, age, and race/ethnicity) of the youth being admitted.

Detention Length of Stay by Demographics -- for each detention release during the year, the length of time spent in the facility (length of stay) by demographic characteristic (gender, age, and race/ethnicity) of the youth.  (The admission may have occurred prior to the reporting year.)

Detention Length of Stay by Admission Reason -- For each detention release during the year, the number of days the youth spent in the facility (length of stay) by the reason the youth was admitted to the facility.  (Note: The associated “admission” may have occurred in a prior reporting year.)
 
  • The Detention report is available in either a full report format or individually by county.  The statewide and individual county reports include the introduction from the full report.

> Detention Trends
 
New March 2009 -- The Detention - Charts and Trends (2007) report provides a representation of the year-end detention reports in graphical formats and trends for the years 2002-2007.
Dispositions
The Disposition report contains statewide and county-specific data of dispositions assigned during the reporting year and the characteristics of the juveniles receiving the dispositions.  Dispositions are grouped into reporting categories consistent with national reporting categories.  Sub-totals and grand totals are provided for each category.  Each statistic is broken down by the youth´s gender, age at the time of disposition, and race/ethnicity.
 
The Disposition report is available in either a full report format or individually by county.  The statewide and individual county reports include the introduction and appendices from the full report.
 
Please review the Technical Information at the top of this page on downloading the full report.

Dispositions of Youth -- The number of youth that received a disposition by the juvenile justice system during the reporting year.  Youth on the Disposition of Youth report are reported in the most intense disposition category imposed for that youth during the year and in the county that imposed the disposition.

Dispositions of Referrals -- The number of referrals that received a disposition by the juvenile justice system during the reporting year.  Referrals on the Disposition of Referrals report are reported in the most intense disposition category imposed for that referral during the year.

Disposition of Referrals by Offense Category -- The number of referrals that received a disposition by the juvenile justice system during the year by offense category.  Dispositions are reported in the most intense disposition on the referral.  The offense category is the most serious offense associated with the most intense disposition on the referral.   (See the report´s Appendices A & B for more detail.)
NOTE:  Prior to publication of the 2006 report, the Disposition of Referrals by Offense Category was in two parts -- one with referral information and the other included the demographic complement for the referrals.  In the Disposition reports published since 2006, this section appears as a single report.

PRINTING TIP:  Adjust the scaling or zoom settings on your printing options to "fit" the Disposition Report since the pages mixed sizes (letter and legal).
