Technical Meeting: Agency managers are invited to discuss the mechanics of adoption and inform the tools and types of assistance Justice Counts will provide to agencies, including a technical guide to calculate and share the metrics. Justice Counts is a consensus-building initiative of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of Justice Assistance led by The Council of State Governments Justice Center and an unprecedented coalition of 21 partner organizations. We believe that safety and justice deserve better data. An essential step in realizing this goal is the adoption of criminal justice metrics that provide timely, consistent data to policymakers and their communities. Consensus-driven metrics that account for variation in data collection, analysis, and reporting and that provide key insights on system trends, operations, and outcomes across all criminal justice sectors are a new and crucial resource for the field.
