One of the most comprehensive resources since the publication of the 1995 White Paper was the 2002 Crime Trends in Arizona report. The 2003 White Paper builds upon the Crime Trends report and gives the reader the comprehensive comparison to the changes that have taken place in the criminal justice system since the 1995 White Paper. According to the Arizona Crime Trends: A System Review, Arizona has gone from third to first in total crime ranking and at the same time, has actually decreased in the total crime rate per capita. Robbery and Auto Theft are the only Part I crimes that have increased. Arizona has the dubious distinction of leading the country in auto theft. Violent Offenses have increased by a small percentage, with reported rape offenses increasing 14.8 percent, while the crime of murder showed a large decrease (11.2 percent). During the same time period, Property Offenses showed a very small increase (1.1 percent). It is the intent of this study to provide information in a factual and objective manner allowing easy access and individual interpretation. The research examined workloads and budgets at the state, county, and municipal levels of government in Arizona. The criminal justice system in the state of Arizona includes, but is not limited too, all law enforcement agencies, the courts, probation departments, and prisons and jails. The workload for these elements is detailed in the body of this report and it shows that it increased significantly from 1995 to 2002. Workload is measured in various ways by various elements. This report uses the descriptors used by the agencies such as number of arrests, number on probation, and incarceration numbers. The state of Arizona is second only to Nevada in population growth. The 1995 White Paper projected continued statewide growth, but the population growth of 29.4 percent from 1995-2002 exceeded all expectations. Projections are for Arizona’s population to continue to increase at an above average rate taking it from the 23rd most populous state in 2002 to the 15th most populous state by 2025. Given the correlation between population growth and crime, the 1.1 percent increase in reported Part I crime between 1995 and 2002 is relatively low when compared to the state’s dramatic population increase. For the most part, the arrest and reported crime data provided has been captured through the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR). Questions could arise regarding the accuracy of this data because of the fact that not 100 percent of all law enforcement agencies in Arizona regularly contribute this information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The reliability of this data can be improved with the implementation of better reporting systems and the dedication of personnel and resources to complete these tasks in a timely manner. Agencies working with the different populations will want a more definitive breakdown to examine possible trends. Data regarding juvenile arrests was also provided by the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). Within the area of juvenile arrests, two disturbing trends have been noted. The first is the increased number of juveniles being referred to the juvenile justice system for drug offenses. This trend is consistent with findings from the 2002 Arizona Youth survey indicating increased substance abuse in Arizona. The second disturbing trend is that the percentage of females entering the juvenile justice i system in proportion to males is increasing in all but a few Arizona counties. These two trends identify target populations that will need specialized programming for both the juvenile and criminal justice community, and should be closely monitored during the coming years. Data concerning arrests for Part I, Part II Drug Offenses, and juvenile referrals illustrate some of the problems currently facing Arizona. Adult arrests for Part I crimes decreased by 14.1 percent over the reporting period, while arrests for Part II Drug Offense crimes increased by 14.2 percent. Further, total juvenile arrests have declined over the reporting period for all segments of reported crimes. This is indicated by the decline of 29.8 percent in arrests for violent crime and a 26.3 percent decrease in juvenile arrests for Property Offense. Juvenile referrals for drug related activity increased by 2.7 percent during the study period. The reader may notice there is a discrepancy between UCR Part II Drug data and data reported from the individual counties as reported to the Administrative Office of the Courts. The reason for that difference was not determined. The number of adults and juveniles on probation for the state has increased since 1995. In 1996, there were 7,084 juveniles on probation and in 2002 there were 9,568, a 35.1 percent increase. The number of adult probationers increased from 37,276 in 1996 to 49,229 in 2002, an increase of 32.1 percent. One major change in the juvenile system since the 1995 White Paper was a reduction of 31.6 percent in Status Offense referrals. There were only two counties (Santa Cruz and Yuma) that experienced an increase in the number of status offense referrals in their respective county. Correctional activity has increased dramatically during the reporting period. In general, commitments for Part I offenses have increased substantially, for all categories including violent crime (41.5 percent), property crime (16.5 percent), and drug-related offenses (21.6 percent). The percentage of female inmates increased 69.5 percent from 1995 to 2002. In addition, the percentage of female inmates increased from 6.6 percent of the overall inmate population to 8.1 percent in FY2002. During the same reporting period, commitments for those ages 16 to 24 increased 35.6 percent. These illustrate that more young people are being sentenced for felonies, and at the same time, females constitute a greater percentage of those commitments. The inmate population age 50 and up made up 6.9 percent of the total population in FY1995 but in FY2002 made up 9.1 percent of the total population. From 1995 to 2002 this segment of the inmate population increased 81.7 percent. Finally, during the same reporting period, budgetary growth for state corrections increased substantially, and the inmate population increased 39.5 percent as well. The ACJC Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) requested and received a great deal of information from the counties regarding their budgetary information for the period from 1995 through 2002. Much of this information referenced the county General Fund data in addition to specific criminal justice information. The SAC did include Jail Excise Tax information in order to make the process more comparable with the rest of the county information. Significant efforts were made by both ACJC and the county agencies to maintain data consistency. However, despite these efforts, the data reporting procedures, timelines and nomenclature sometimes varied from county to county. Because of the possible differences in reporting and timelines, caution must be used in drawing comparisons between counties based on the reported budget information. During the eight-year period, overall General Fund budgets increased at both state and county levels of government. The total State General Fund appropriation budget was $4,461,589,100 in 1995 and $7,034,601,100 in 2002, a 57.7 percent increase. The state criminal justice proportion of the State General Fund increased from 12.0 percent in 1995 to 12.9 percent in 2002. From 1995 through 2002 ii County General Funds increased by 42.4 percent and in all counties there were increases in criminal justice budgets. In comparison, the total criminal justice share of the county General Funds increased from 40.2 percent in 1995 to 43.6 percent in 2002. Of the 15 counties there were two counties, Maricopa and Mohave, in which the criminal justice share of the State General Fund showed a slight decrease. The 2003 White Paper is a compilation of data collected and provided to the SAC by a number of agencies at both the state and local levels. All agencies that contributed information for the report were extremely courteous and helpful to the extent that they had data available. This is a key element regarding the White Paper as it was very apparent that data elements were missing from a number of agencies. Most of this is due to the shortages of personnel and other resources necessary to capture this type of data on a regular basis. Some of the missing data elements are the result of problems detected in data management systems as a result of the survey for this report. Although the data is not available from those agencies, the result has been a catalyst for these agencies to correct previously unseen problems, allowing for improved data collection for future studies. It is clear that more needs to be done regarding data collection and the subsequent sharing and analysis of that information. This information must be available to the Criminal Justice Commission and other agencies in order to help all criminal justice entities and the public understand the total picture of crime in Arizona and the problems that are faced by each component of the criminal justice system. The ACJC SAC has a mission to ensure collaboration and sharing of information. To this end, the SAC and the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission are committed to the continuing improvement of all information components of the criminal justice system throughout the state. Constant and consistent improvements to the data gathering capabilities for law enforcement, prosecutorial, judicial, and correctional components of the criminal justice system will help to ensure the completeness of the data elements and the subsequent analysis and dissemination of this comprehensive, systematic information. The reports generated from these studies are vital for policy makers of each fundamental unit of the criminal justice system, and it is this type of information and the forthcoming analysis by which policy makers undertake the most difficult of decisions. Arizona’s criminal justice system will face several challenges in the coming years. It is quite evident, that the continued population increase over the next few years will also place a greater workload on all agencies within criminal justice system. Budget issues will continue to have a bearing on the availability of all services throughout the state. As is evidenced by the dramatic growth of Arizona’s population and the resulting requirements for expansion of services in criminal justice, funding for the criminal justice system will continue to be one of the most pressing of issues during the 21st Century. Related to the issue of adequate funding, Arizona will have to explore new avenues for implementing more effective and efficient methods of addressing crime while facing rising workloads and increased expectations for service delivery. iii iv INTRODUCTION Previous publications by the Statistical Analysis Center (SAC), have noted that Arizona faces numerous challenges in the coming years in maintaining established levels of services, while addressing the critical needs of the criminal justice system and balancing those against public safety. The difficulties facing state and local budgets are not unique to Arizona. Arizona has experienced enormous population growth over the past 10 years placing a burden on all levels of government to fund operations to meet demands. Moreover, the effort to maintain current levels of public safety is further strained by the trend of a growing population at a time when increased security is sought. In January 2003, the Arizona Crime Trends publication was presented to the Governor, the criminal justice community and the public with a compilation of crime related data from national sources and criminal justice agencies throughout Arizona. The Arizona Crime Trends gathered data and emerging trends from various components of the criminal justice system in an effort to develop a system perspective. Our current publication, the 2003 White Paper: Crime and the Criminal Justice System in Arizona will serve as an extension of this previous study by drilling down to the agency level and providing specific information relative to workloads and budgets. The Arizona Crime Trends report emphasized crime rates throughout the publication. In contrast, the 2003 White Paper will present base data as reported by the participating agencies in the study. (ACJC: 2003) The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission completed a “White Paper” in 1995 that assessed the current condition of the criminal justice system in Arizona. The 1995 version of the “White Paper” grew out of concerns by Commission members that the system was fragmented and had a number of problems, which adversely affected the manner in which justice was delivered to the citizens of Arizona. The intent of the 1995 “White Paper” was to act as a catalyst and primary information source for a symposium sponsored by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission for elected and appointed public policy makers who control priorities and resource allocations. Some of the concerns expressed in 1995 that precipitated the publication of the “White Paper” remain driving forces behind the publication of this 2003 “White Paper”. Those driving forces include, but are not limited to: population increase; crime, competition for limited resources; disparate and in some cases, detached computer systems, jurisdictions dealing with the same perpetrators independently of each other; and an unclear understanding of what the criminal justice system is and should be. This publication provides data to assist the reader in making informed judgments about the current condition of the criminal justice system in Arizona. Budget crises at the federal, state, and local government levels are requiring a reassessment of each component of the system and the priority of that component when competing for scarce financial and human resources. This paper examines crime and arrest statistics; data relating to workloads; and demographic information such as population changes, at-risk populations, and other similar data. The report includes selected data from law enforcement, prosecution, the courts, corrections, and probation at state, county, and municipal levels. This document also includes available information regarding the funding levels for the various components of the criminal justice system at the state and local levels. The information provided relates to both the amount of funding and the percentage of total governmental expenditures represented by those amounts. To the extent possible, the data also includes the number of personnel available to any particular function of the system. The “White Paper” is a collection of data and information. It does not attempt to explain the reasons for changes that have occurred. The Statistical Analysis Center sought to represent the findings in a 1 factual and objective manner noting general observations regarding the collected data. By utilizing detailed information presented herein, criminal justice stakeholders and analysts may conduct comparative analysis as appropriate and as needed for their area of reference. This paper is intended to serve strictly as a resource for policy makers to use as a guide in making decisions about the future of the Arizona Criminal Justice System. This White Paper is also intended to provide a comprehensive view of the many factors that surround and affect the criminal justice system in this state. These factors include, but are not limited to, increases in population, budgets, criminal offense reporting, prosecution, court cases, incarceration rates, probation, and parole. These items are presented in order to help provide a clearer picture of the criminal justice system as it serves the people of Arizona. RESEARCH PURPOSE The purpose of this 2003 White Paper: Crime and the Criminal Justice System in Arizona is to help in answering questions regarding the past performance of the criminal justice system, the direction it is presently taking, and some possible expectations for the future. The 2003 White Paper: Crime and the Criminal Justice System in Arizona publication was created to accomplish two primary objectives. The first objective was to serve as an extension of the Arizona Crime Trends publication by providing data at the agency level. The second objective is to provide the Governor, Legislators, Commission members, criminal justice stakeholders and the citizens of Arizona with a practical and factual report of the current state of agencies within the criminal justice system. It may also be utilized by other interested stakeholders, such as community leaders or individuals in policy-making positions. RESEARCH METHODS The Statistical Analysis Center of the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission studied the 1995 version of the “White Paper”, and as a result of this analysis, concluded that a replication of the data sources served as a good starting point for the compilation of the needed data for the 2003 report. In order to obtain this information, several detailed questionnaires were developed and sent to law enforcement, prosecution and county budget departments throughout the state. The questionnaires requested information on the size of the population that was served by the agency, geographic size of service areas, levels of reported crime, caseloads, and other related workload measures. The questionnaires also requested information on organizational resources such as budgets and the number of agency personnel. In addition to data received from the individual agencies via questionnaires, data collected for this edition of the “White Paper” was obtained predominantly from four sources. The Statistical Analysis Center was able to obtain data from these sources electronically which proved to be a distinct advantage over the process used in the data collection for the 1995 White Paper publication. The first of the four electronic sources is reported crime (index) and arrest data. This information comes from the monthly information sent to the Arizona Department of Public Safety in the form of Uniform Crime Reports (UCR). For this purpose, and for other ongoing projects, the Arizona Statistical Analysis Center received an electronic file containing UCR data stored in the Arizona Department of Public Safety database. 2 The second major source of data was provided by several divisions of the Administrative Office of the Courts. These electronic data files included detailed court workload and budget data for superior, justice and municipal courts throughout the state. In addition, adult probation and juvenile probation and referral (arrest) data were received in electronic format from the Administrative Office of the Courts. The third major source of data was provided by the Department of Corrections. They provided inmate population counts for 1995 through 2002. This data is critical since the Department of Corrections is one of the largest criminal justice agencies in the state. The data files were sent electronically and clearly demonstrate the large workload increase since the original White Paper in 1995. Population data was the final major source for the 2003 White Paper. Population data was obtained from two sources. The primary source of state census information was the Arizona Department of Economic Security (ADES). Population counts and estimates were provided by ADES for 1995 through 2002. Also, some population estimates by gender were obtained from ADES. The Federal Bureau of the Census American Fact Finder website was used in the section on national population distribution and trends. Once data was received the final stage of the project entailed a verification of the accuracy of the data to be included in the 2003 White Paper. The Statistical Analysis Center staff compared all data included in the 2003 White Paper publication with original survey submissions from individual agencies. In addition, the data was analyzed and assessed for problems and consistency. Logical errors were reported to the submitting agency for review. As part of this process, each agency was sent a copy of the data to be included in the publication and requested to review that data for accuracy and completeness. ORGANIZATION OF THIS REPORT As noted previously, it is the intent of this study to provide information in a factual and objective manner allowing easy access and individual interpretation. Text and graphics are used primarily to highlight relevant information in tables and to provide general observations regarding changes over time. The design of the 2003 White Paper was developed with the intent of allowing for ease of access, duplication, and distribution. For this purpose, the White Paper is available on the Arizona Criminal Justice website and was produced in black and white in order to reduce costs and allow more clarity when duplicated. The 2003 White Paper begins with a short discussion regarding the availability and limitations of data sources related to crime in Arizona. This includes a brief summary of the current status of the Uniform Crime Reports coordinated through the Arizona Department of Public Safety and efforts to move toward a more detailed crime reporting process through the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS). In addition, a summary section relating to the data collection of budgetary information was included in order to provide the reader a clear understanding of issues relative to criminal justice budget data. The paper is subdivided into three sections based on the level of government. The first section provides information regarding state criminal justice agencies. The second section deals with the 15 Arizona counties in alphabetical order. The third section details 26 municipalities with populations greater than 15,000 in 2002. 3 The 2003 White Paper also includes information concerning Excise Taxes supporting jails as authorized by A.R.S § 48-4021 in 1989. Coconino, La Paz, Maricopa, Yavapai, and Yuma counties each created jail districts in order to utilize excise taxes to fund jails. CRIME DATA SOURCES Uniform Crime Report (UCR) The primary means by which crime data is collected and made available within Arizona is through the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) data. The Arizona Department of Public Safety has been authorized by the state of Arizona to act as the Central Repository for all criminal history records, including Uniform Crime Reports, for the state. In 1992, A.R.S. §41-1750 D was amended to read, “The chief officers of law enforcement agencies of this state or its political subdivisions shall provide to the central state repository such information as necessary to operate the statewide uniform crime reporting program and to cooperate with the federal government uniform crime reporting program.” Since that time the number of law enforcement agencies participating in the UCR data project Crime in Arizona has increased remarkably. In 1995, 94 of the possible 102 law enforcement agencies voluntarily contributed (UCR) data to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Of the 94 agencies that contributed data, not all of these agencies provided information for all 12 months. For example, in 1995 there were 91 of a possible 102 agencies that contributed UCR data to the Arizona Department of Public Safety with eight agencies sending in no data and three agencies contributing partial data. In all, there were 124 months of data that were not submitted in time to be included in the 1995 DPS publication Crime in Arizona. In comparison, the 2002 Crime in Arizona reflected the data of 97 law enforcement agencies (of a possible 103) with only 74 months not included for reporting purposes. This increase has resulted in the availability of more complete and accurate data available for analysis. Generally, there is a consistent pattern with certain agencies not submitting, or submitting partial UCR data. Crime data is collected by DPS from law enforcement agencies across the state, placed in aggregate form, and forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for inclusion in the yearly UCR Report. This data gives law enforcement agencies, other public bodies, and criminal justice executives a composite picture of criminal activity, arrests, and other important information for Arizona on a yearly basis. In this manner, comparisons may be made regarding crime trends and the impact of criminal activity on the state. Additionally, it is important to note differences in reporting methodologies between the 2001 Crime in Arizona publication and the 2001 Crime in the United States publication of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This primarily pertains to estimates made at the national level by extrapolating data from agencies that contribute incomplete or partial data. Additionally, there are differences in population estimates used by the FBI and the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Therefore, the reader should be cognizant that there will be subtle differences between the numbers contained within these two reports. As noted previously, UCR data provided in this publication was obtained from an electronic submission from the Arizona Department of Public Safety database. Therefore, any updates that occurred following the publication in the Crime in Arizona report will result in differences in these reported numbers. 4 Although the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) data is the primary means by which data is reported in Arizona, it is not without limitations. First, as noted above, not all jurisdictions submit complete data. Second, only the most serious offense is counted as part of a report or an arrest. Finally, relatively few data elements are included in the report, and thus, greatly reduce the ability of more detailed analysis. National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) The National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) is a joint project of the US Bureau of Justice Statistics and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that will enhance the current UCR program by providing more detailed information than was previously collected by UCR. Over the past five years, NIBRS reporting has more than doubled with the number of state certified programs increasing to 18. The Arizona Department of Public Safety is working toward implementing a statewide Incident Based Reporting System (IBRS) repository. IBRS is designed to collect data on each single crime occurrence and on each incident and arrest within that occurrence. One of the significant differences between IBRS and the traditional UCR summary system is the degree of detail in reporting. The UCR summary system collects information on only eight Part I crimes (murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson). IBRS • • • • • • collects information on 22 crime categories made up of 46 specific crime offenses in Group A: arson • gambling assault • homicide bribery • kidnapping/abduction burglary/breaking and entering • larceny/theft counterfeiting/forgery • pornography/obscene material destruction damage/vandalism of • prostitution property • robbery • drug narcotics • forcible/non-forcible sex offenses • embezzlement • stolen property • extortion/blackmail • weapon law violations • fraud In Group B, 11 offenses are collected: • bad checks • liquor law violations • curfew loitering/vagrancy violations, • peeping tom, runaway • disorderly conduct • trespass of real property • driving under the influence • all other offenses • drunkenness, nonviolent family offenses For Group B offenses, only arrest data are reported. IBRS information will be forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and added to the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) database. At present, two Arizona law enforcement agencies in addition to DPS are pursuing the initiation of IBRS with grant funding from ACJC. The Phoenix Police Department and the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office have initiated IBRS and have since started testing procedures prior to final implementation. There are other agencies such as the Benson Police Department that have purchased records management systems that have the capability to report crimes in IBRS. Through IBRS, sheriffs, police chiefs, agency directors, commissioners, legislators, municipal planners/administrators, academicians, 5 penologists, sociologist, and the general public will have access to more detailed crime information than the current UCR Summary System can provide. 6 National Justice Expenditures In February of 2002 the Bureau of Justice Statistics published a Bulletin titled Justice Expenditure and Employment in the United States, 1999. This Bulletin was based on a compilation of data from the Census Bureau annual surveys of governmental finances and employment. Among its findings was that in 1999 state governments spent $57 billion on criminal and civil justice. Of that spending, 60 percent went to corrections. Additionally, it found that state justice expenditure grew approximately nine percent each year between 1982 and 1999. In 1999 the Federal government alone spent $27 billion dollars on the justice system. This was a 514 percent increase between 1982 and 1999 and represented faster growth than that for state (393 percent) and local governments (257 percent). The Federal government share of justice system expenditures was 12 percent in 1982 compared with 19 percent in 1999. States spend more on criminal justice than municipalities, counties, or the $45,000,000,000 Federal government. Direct expenditure $40,000,000,000 for each of the major criminal justice $35,000,000,000 functions (police, corrections, judicial) has $30,000,000,000 Federal been increasing. Between 1982 and 1999 $25,000,000,000 State the Federal government increased its Counties $20,000,000,000 Municipalities expenditure on police protection by 485.5 $15,000,000,000 percent, judicial and legal services by $10,000,000,000 $5,000,000,000 512.6 percent, and corrections by 654.2 $0 percent. The State and local governments 1982 1984 1986 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 had smaller increases in all functions. However, local governments contributed the most (51 percent) to the criminal and civil justice system — almost $75 billion. By far the largest component of local expenditure was police protection, at nearly $46 billion. Direct expenditure by level of government, 1982-99 $50,000,000,000 The average annual increase in Direct expenditure by criminal justice function, 1982-99 justice spending was highest for $70,000,000,000 corrections, ranging from a 9.4 $60,000,000,000 percent increase per year $50,000,000,000 between 1982 and 1999 by the local governments to an 11.9 $40,000,000,000 Police Judicial percent increase per year by the $30,000,000,000 Corrections Federal government. Police $20,000,000,000 protection was the justice $10,000,000,000 function with the lowest annual $0 increase. Among state and local 1982 1984 1986 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 governments, the average annual Source: Justice Employment and Expenditure Extracts, 1982 - 97, table 1. increase on police protection was only about 7 percent. The Federal government expenditure for police protection increased by about 10 percent annually. Across the nation, state and local governments spent $442.14 per capita on justice activities. This ranged from $227.96 per capita in West Virginia to $1,212.27 in the District of Columbia. In 1999, 7 Arizona ranked 10th in the nation for per capita justice expenditures. However, Arizona was fourth in employment as a percentage of all government employment and had the third highest per capita justice employment figure in the nation. Justice Employment The total number of justice employees grew 72 percent between 1982 and 1999, with the largest growth attributed to state governments (107 percent). Altogether, federal, state, and local governments had 2.2 million justice related employees in 1999. In October 2002, the Bureau of Justice Statistics published a Bulletin called Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies, 2000. This document demonstrates that as of June 2000, state and local governments in the United States operated 17,784 full-time law enforcement agencies. At that time, Arizona had 135 state and local law enforcement agencies with 20,595, full time employees of which 11,533 were sworn personnel. Additionally, Arizona stands out with two police departments, Phoenix and Tucson, in the top 50 largest police departments by number of full time, sworn personnel. Phoenix Police Department alone had 2,626 sworn officers and Tucson Police Department had 928. A Note on the Impact of Homeland Security On April 11, 2002 the White House issued a press release which began, “Immediately following the tragic events of September 11, departments and agencies from across the federal government took steps to strengthen the safety and security of the American people. At the Federal level, a total of $10.6 billion from the Fiscal Year 2002 Emergency Budget Supplemental was dedicated to homeland security.” The press release outlined dozens of law enforcement activities and security measures of all types which have been implemented by the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security, and the passage of the USA Patriot Act, in addition to many other initiatives and programs. The Office of Management and Budget lists the 2003 enacted, non-defense Homeland Security funding as $28.9 billion with an additional, supplemental $5.3 billion. The budget for 2004 is expected to reach $34.6 billion. With this many federal programs and this level of funding, we can reasonably expect the local and state criminal justice workloads to increase proportionately. And while federal funding is available, it is reasonable to expect some of the burden of increased national security to fall to the state and local governments. Anecdotal evidence indicates that the impact of newly implemented national security procedures has already increased the presence of law enforcement at Arizona’s international border and at Sky Harbor International Airport. 8 State of Arizona 9 1. STATEWIDE DATA This portion of the 2003 White Paper will present data regarding population, the levels of reported crime, and number of arrests statewide. In addition, this chapter will provide information on the activities of state criminal justice agencies and the level of resources provided to them. Finally, this chapter will provide total statewide statistics on court activities at the Superior, Justice and Municipal court levels. STATEWIDE POPULATION DATA Table 1-1 below shows Arizona’s population has increased every year from 1995 to 2002. The state’s 2002 population of 5,472,750 ranks it as the 23rd most populous state in the United States, according to State Rankings. During the period 1995 to 2002, Arizona’s population increased 29.4 percent. It is projected to be the 15th most populated state with an estimated population of 6.4 million residents by 2025.

Table 1-2 reflects the number of males and females, ages 16 to 24 in 1990 and 2000 for the state of Arizona. This breakdown represents the segment of the population considered most at-risk within the criminal justice system. From 1990 to 2000, the total number of people ages 16 to 24 increased 33.7 percent. The male population age 18 to 24 increased 35.0 percent, while the female population increased 29.8 percent in the same age category.

Individuals between the ages of 16 and 24 are considered by many in law enforcement to be the most at-risk age group. The exact ages of those considered at risk vary slightly depending on the study. On a national level, Dr. James Fox in Trends in Juvenile Violence in 1996 wrote that, “Males, ages 14-24 are less than eight percent of the population yet commit 48 percent of the murders.” He also noted that, “From 1989 to 1994, the arrest rate for Violent Offenses (murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault) rose over 46 percent among teenagers, but only about 12 percent among adults.” (Fox, 1996) In Arizona, youth ages 16 to 24 comprised 12.9 percent of the population in 2000, according to the U.S. Census. In 2000, 37.5 percent of those arrested for Part I Violent 11 Offenses committed in Arizona were between the ages of 16 and 24. During the same year 39.4 percent of all murders were committed by males ages 16 to 24. 12 STATEWIDE REPORTED CRIME DATA While the population of the state has increased during the last eight years (a 29.4 percent increase), total Part I offenses increased 1.4 percent over the same eight-year period. Table 1-3 shows that total Part I Violent Offenses increased 1.5 percent from 1995 through 2002. In the Violent Offense category the largest percentage increase was in rape, which showed an increase of 15.2 percent. The largest decline was in murder, which went down by 15.8 percent. Robbery increased 10.8 percent, while aggravated assaults decreased 2.6 percent. Part I total Property Offenses increased 1.3 percent over an eight-year period with vehicle thefts increasing the most at 18.5 percent. Larceny-theft decreased 2.4 percent and the number of burglaries declined 0.4 percent, while the number of arsons reported increased 15.2 percent from 1995 through 2002.

Both categories experienced similar increases and decreases, although the changes are more dramatic in the Violent Offenses reported. Both categories had very small increases overall during this time (1.5 percent for Violent Offenses and 1.3 percent for Property Offenses). While the overall 13 increase was relatively low over the entire eight-year period, Violent Offenses reported increased 14.9 percent from a low of 25,943 in 1999 to a high of 29,805 in 2002. Property Offenses reported displayed a similar trend reaching a low point in 1999 with 254,052 reported and a high point of 314,684 in 2002, an increase of 23.9 percent over the past four years. 14 STATEWIDE ARREST DATA Table 1-4 shows the total number of adult arrests for Part I crimes as reported by agencies for the UCR.

The total population of the Department of Corrections has increased from 21,133 in 1995 to 29,273 in 2002, or 38.5 percent. During the previous 10 years from 1985 through 1994 the total 27 population of the Department of Corrections increased 132 percent. When looking at the data in Table 1-19 the male inmate population rose at a rate of 36.3 percent, while the female population increased 69.5 percent. From 1995 through 2002, inmates committed to the Department of Corrections for Part I Violent Offenses increased 41.5 percent, while commitments for Part I Property Offenses increased 16.5 percent. Commitments for drug offenses increased 21.6 percent during this period with the percentage of the total population committed for drug offenses decreasing from 21.4 percent in 1995 to 18.8 percent in 2002.

Many of them have extensive delinquency histories combined with serious emotional problems. Table 1-23 shows the scope of problems they present to ADJC staff. Almost all of them have substance abuse (98 percent) or school behavior problems (97 31 percent). Practically all of them (94.2 percent) have intellectual deficits. Approximately two-thirds (63 percent) of them come from families with criminal histories. The average time served by juveniles committed to ADJC has increased. Between 1996 and 2002 the time served by new commitments in secure care increased by 80 percent from an average of 155.4 days to an average of 279.8 days. ADJC initiated a parole reinforcement program in 2001. The program was designed for juveniles on parole that were having trouble complying with their parole conditions. This secure, communitybased program was established to provide intensive assessment services to juveniles who were having trouble complying with their parole plans. During 2002, 48.4 percent of the juveniles returned from parole were placed in the parole reinforcement program, 24.9 percent were returned to parole, 25.6 percent were placed on parole revocation status and 1.1 percent were discharged. On average, juveniles spent 48 days in the parole reinforcement program in 2002, which is considerably less than the 246.6 days that juveniles spent on parole revocations status, thus saving the department valuable bedspace. 36-Month Recidivism Rate; ADJC Youth Sent to Adult Prison 23.5% 24.0% 22.3% 23.0% 22.0% 20.7% 21.0% 19.8% 20.0% 19.0% 18.0% 17.0% 1996 1997 1998 1999 FIGURE 1-9 The proportion of juveniles released from ADJC sentenced to an Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) prison decreased from 23.5 percent in 1996 to 19.8 percent in 1999 (see Figure 1-9). This achievement is impressive when one considers that the estimated monetary value of saving one highrisk youth from becoming a career criminal ranges between $1.7 and $2.3 million. [Cohen, Mark. The Monetary Value of Saving a High Risk Youth, Journal of Quantitative Criminology, 1998.] 32 RESOURCE ALLOCATION TO STATE CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCIES Table 1-24 displays the level of funding provided to major state level criminal justice agencies for the eight years surveyed. These figures represent only General Fund allocations. Many agencies receive significant levels of funding through sources other than the State General Fund. During the period from 1995 through 2002 total state appropriations increased by 57.7 percent. The percentage of the total devoted to criminal justice ranged from 12 percent in 1995 to 13 percent in 2002. The largest percentage appropriated to criminal justice occurred in 2000 at 15 percent. The change in state supported General Fund resources varied amongst the various entities.

In FY1995, La Paz County created a jail district to raise money for the construction and maintenance of jails. By FY2001, Coconino, Maricopa, Yavapai, and Yuma counties also used this method of funding jail construction and maintenance. FY1996 excise taxes for jail districts totaled in $2,966,275 statewide. This number increased to $11,055,446 in FY1998 when Coconino County added the excise tax and $46,478,526 the next year when Maricopa County took advantage of this statutory provision. By FY2002, over 116 million was made available to the criminal justice system through the excise taxes for jails and represents a 1.6 percent increase from FY2001 to FY2002. As not all counties have created jail districts to collect funds through excise taxes, and those that have do not use the revenue collected for the same purposes, these funds, and other revenue sources, direct comparison of county General Fund data is difficult. In order to mitigate this difficulty and allow for limited comparison of General Fund data, jail excise tax information has been included in the General Fund tables presented in the 2003 White Paper. 38 FINDINGS • The population of the state of Arizona increased 29.4 percent from 1995 to 2002. • The at-risk population group (ages 16-24) increased 33.7 percent from 1990 to 2000. • The total DPS budget increased 105.4 percent from 1995 to 2002. • The number of calls for service to DPS increased 257.0 percent from 1995 to 2002. • In the Arizona Superior Courts, expenditures increased 49.4 percent from 1995 to 2002. • Criminal cases filed in the Arizona Superior Courts increased 46.7 percent from 1995 to 2002, while criminal case dispositions increased 65.4 percent. • In the Arizona Justice Courts, the total cases filed increased 21.9 percent, while the total number of disposed cases increased 21.2 percent from 1995 to 2002. • In the Arizona Municipal Courts, criminal traffic cases filed increased 27.7 percent, while criminal traffic cases disposed increased 33.2 percent from 1995 to 2002. • Total case filings in the Arizona Municipal Courts increased 26.6 percent from 1995 to 2002, while total dispositions increased 36.8 percent. • Total referrals of juveniles in the state of Arizona decreased 10.9 percent from 1996 to 2002. • The number of females versus males referred increased from 28.8 percent female and 71.2 percent male in 1996 to 32.1 percent female and 67.9 percent male in 2002. • The percent of younger juveniles (ages 8-12) increased from 9.0 percent in 1996 to 10.0 percent in 2002. • Juvenile Status Offenses decreased in 13 of the 15 counties. • From 1996 to 2002, the number of adult probationers in Arizona increased 32.1 percent and the number of juvenile probationers increased 35.1 percent. • The Department of Corrections budget increased 65.6 percent from 1995 to 2002 which is 7.6 percent greater than the 57.7 percent increase experienced for all criminal justice state agencies over the same period.. • From 1995 to 2002, the total inmate population in DOC increased 38.5 percent. • The average time served in DOC increased from 28 months to 37 months for males and from 21 months to 25 months for females from 1995 to 2002. • Total state criminal justice appropriations to state agencies increased 57.7 percent relative to an overall general fund increase of 70.6 percent from 1995 to 2002. • In 1995, La Paz County was the only county that had an excise tax devoted to county jail building and maintenance.

The table shows that the budget has grown 229 percent from 1995 to 2002 mostly due to the formation of a Jail District which built a new jail that allowed for three times the inmate population. Personnel numbers were not available for 1995, but from 1996 to 2002 the total number of personnel grew from 128 to 256.5 or an increase in seven years of 100.4 percent. The number of sworn personnel has grown 10.3 percent, while the number of detention personnel has grown 128.9 percent in the same seven-year period. Note that specific monies were received in FY2000 that allowed for the expansion of the jail capacity in Coconino County.

The following table represents total offenses reported for all of Yuma County. However, there are notable gaps in the data reported by individual agencies limiting the ability for comparisons over time. Data from 1995 to 1999 is not UCR data and shows large fluctuations probably attributed to the lack of data rather than actual changes in crime trends or workloads . From 2000 to 2002, participation in UCR by Yuma County made the data stable, and therefore, provides a more accurate representation of the workload information for those years. From 2000 to 2002, total Part I crimes increased from 5,507 in 2000 to 5,705 in 2002, or an increase of 3.6 percent. Over this same period, Violent Offenses increased from 676 in 1995 to 972 in 2002. Much of this increase can be attributed to a rise in the number of aggravated assaults over this period. Aggravated assaults rose from 561 in 2000 to 881 in 2002, or an increase of 57 percent. Over this three-year period, Property Offenses went down slightly (2 percent) in Yuma County, but burglary (20 percent) and motor vehicle thefts (18.2 percent) experienced increases from 2000 to 2002.

While growth is prevalent in many communities around the country, the reader is reminded that Arizona is unique in the tremendous population influx as well as having a 39 percent growth in the number of persons under 18 between 1990 and 2000.. That growth coupled with the vast land mass of the state and the independent nature of its citizens provides unique challenges for policy makers when confronted with criminal justice issues in Arizona. The data presented in this report suggest that there are a number of crime trends evolving throughout the state. These trends need to be analyzed carefully by policy and decision-makers at both the executive and legislative levels in order to develop or modify strategies, and/or policies to deal with crime and the protection of the citizens of Arizona. Below is a list of some of the key findings of this report. Population • The state’s 2002 population of 5,472,750 ranks it as the 23rd most populous state in the United States, according to State Rankings. • During the period 1995 to 2002, Arizona’s population increased 29.4 percent. increases of this size must result in an impact on all systems of government. • By 2025, Arizona is projected to be the 15th most populous state with a projected population in 2025 of 6.4 million residents. • From 1990 to 2000, the total number of people ages 16 to 24 increased 33.7 percent. Again, increases in this age group may have a significant impact on the criminal justice system. • The male population age 18 to 24 increased 35.0 percent, while the female population increased 29.8 percent in the same age category. P Population P Crime • Rape had the largest increase of Reported Violent Offense from 1995 to 2002 with a 14.8 percent increase. Due to the severity and impact of this crime, it is bound to have an effect on all components of the criminal justice system, particularly prosecution, courts, and corrections. • Motor Vehicle Theft had the largest increase in Reported Property Offense from 1995 to 2002 with an 18.2 percent increase. The state of Arizona leads the nation in motor vehicle theft by a very large margin. • Arrests for vehicle thefts increased 92.2 percent, while all of the other Part I Property Offense categories showed declines. 391 • Arrests for robbery increased 13.3 percent, while all of the other Part I Violent Offense categories showed declines. • Adult Part II Drug Offense arrests increased 27 percent from 1995 to 2002. • Adult arrests for possession of drugs increased 37.2 percent between 1995 to 2002. • The statewide percentage of the total General Fund budget allocated to the criminal justice system has declined from 19.0 percent 1999 to 16.5 percent in 2002. • The percentage of parole hearings resulting in denials increased from 54 percent in FY1995 to 70 percent in FY2002. • There were 12,924 revocation hearings between FY1995 and FY2002 with 11,835 or 91.6 percent resulting in parole being revoked. Funding • The State General Fund increased 57.7 percent from 1995 to 2002. • Criminal Justice funding from the State General Fund increased 70.6 percent from 1995 to 2002. • The percentage of the State General Fund allotted to state-level criminal justice increased from 12.0 percent in 1995 to 12.6 percent in 2002. Counties Population • All fifteen counties experienced growth from 1995-2002. Of the 15 counties, Greenlee County showed the least growth at 1.8 percent and Maricopa County showed the most growth at 34.3 percent. • In 2002, Maricopa County contained 60 percent of the total state population and Pima County contained 16.3 percent for a combined total of 76.3 percent of the state’s population. • From 1990 to 2000, the total number of people ages 16 to 24 increased in every county except Apache County. The increases in this at-risk age group may impact the criminal justice system significantly. • From 1990 to 2000, thirteen counties experienced population growth of males and females ages 18 to 24. However, in Apache and La Paz counties the population of both genders in this age group decreased. Crime 392 • Part I crimes decreased in 11 of the 15 counties from 1995 to 2002. Cochise, La Paz, Gila and Yuma Counties showed an increase. • Total juvenile referrals decreased from 1996-2002 for 13 of the 15 Counties. Santa Cruz and Graham Counties showed an increase. • Female Juvenile offenders from 1996-2002 showed an increase in referrals in all but Coconino, Greenlee and La Paz Counties. • From 1996 to 2002, females ages 8 to 12 showed an increase in referrals in all but Apache, Mohave, Navajo and Santa Cruz Counties. Funding • The percentage of the county General Funds allotted to criminal justice increased from 40.2 percent in 1995 to 43.6 percent in 2002. • In 13 counties, the percentage of the county General Fund allotted to criminal justice increased from 1995 to 2002. Maricopa and Mohave Counties decreased slightly. • The county General Funds increased 42.4 percent from 1995 to 2002. • The total criminal justice funds from the county General Funds increased 54.4 percent from 1995 to 2002. 393 394 CONCLUSION The 2003 edition of the “White Paper” contains and presents a large volume of criminal justice and population data. New technology has allowed data sets to be much more complete than were utilized in the earlier study and they present a more thorough and complex picture of the status of the criminal justice system as it exists today. Since the 1995 data collection, collaboration to share information and the ability to electronically disseminate data allowed for more comprehensive and complete data sets. The value of this report and data will ultimately be determined by the reader. Criminal justice experts, practitioners, scholars, and policy makers have asked for this type of information to have a foundation and basis to discuss issues and to formulate proper responses to the problems that vex the system. Issues of population growth, the lack of corresponding growth in budgets, the rise and fall of index crimes, and their influence upon prosecution, the courts, and corrections all have an enormous impact on the lives of everyday citizens of Arizona. Although these impacts may not be readily evident, they are felt in the attitudes that impact neighborhood life, the workplace, and recreation in every individual’s life in our state. The consciousness of the public regarding crime and criminals is reflected in activities in everyday life, and thus has an effect upon the lifestyle of all citizens. The importance and availability of accurate data is quite apparent to policy makers, elected officials, and other practitioners in the area of criminal justice. Discussions have been occurring for quite some time regarding the need for increased emphasis on resources to address crime and the criminal justice system, but in many instances, these have not been supported by empirical data that clearly illustrates the issues and trends that are affecting the system. These data sets hopefully show the relationship of budgets, the dramatic rise in population, and resources of agencies to control and reduce crime in Arizona. The data presented in this White Paper should provide officials and criminal justice personnel in Arizona with current and relevant information related to factors that influence the system. Information systems within the criminal justice system were of immense value to the study in that they provided vast amounts of information that was previously not available electronically in the 1995 study. However, much remains to be done and therefore, continued improvements of these systems will be required over the coming years. There is also a need to have general agreement on definitions of terminology within information systems as demonstrated by the differing data elements within various components of this report. In many instances, counties did not have the same budgetary categories as other counties, and therefore, great care had to be taken in order to assure continuity and uniformity in the information that was presented. When compiling the data for this report, the ACJC Statistical Analysis Center had some difficulty retrieving statistical information, particularly data pertaining to the prosecution of criminals within Arizona. One major contributing factor to the collection limitations is that there is no central agency or organization which tracks prosecution information statewide. There are also substantial differences in the terminology associated with key reporting measures for individual counties. An established reporting format for counties to submit prosecution data on a statewide level is also lacking. Finally, there were limitations presented by several of the county attorney offices in regard to the reporting capabilities of their current case management systems. As a result, reliable comparisons between 395 counties were not possible. It is recommended that future efforts look at standardizing data elements for reporting and analysis purposes. In Arizona, the Department of Economic Security is the official source for state demographic information. The staff was quite helpful and thorough in filling our requests for data. However, it came to light that current, single-year age and gender projections were not available and are not routinely maintained. The last set of projections was released in 1997 and was based on the 1996 estimates. Additionally, the last available projections were only done by single year for ages 0-19, leaving out the 20-24 age group; crucial to law enforcement and criminal justice agencies is information on the critical, at-risk of offending 16-24 male age group. Yearly population estimates are generated by DES, but they are not broken down by age or gender. In the past, the projection model employed by DES has been used to generate an approximation of the population by age and gender, but only at the county level and this has never been an official product of DES. However, even this kind of unofficial, working estimate was not possible to generate using 2000 as the base year because key county and city migration information from the 2000 Census was not available at the time of publication. Single-year age and gender population information at various geographic scales is quite useful to a number of agencies including law enforcement, criminal justice planning, health care and education. Given this benefit, the development and routine maintenance of an official DES product that would provide such estimates should be made a priority in Arizona. Without a clearly designated priority for the creation of such a product, limited resources and the volume of demands would leave this priority at-risk especially in a climate of increased need to reduce budgets. Arizona’s criminal justice system will face many challenges in the coming years. The state population increased from 4,228,900 in 1995 to 5,472,750 in 2002. The population increase for the at-risk population (16-24) increased over 30 percent from 1990 to 2000. Projections are that the state will continue to show a population increase above the national average and by 2025 the population will be 6.4 million residents. The criminal justice system workload has shown a dramatic increase since 1995 at the state, county and local levels. One example would be the Superior Courts workload, which disposed of 65.4 percent more criminal cases in 2002 than in 1995. Arizona will need to continue to explore new avenues and continue implementing more effective and efficient methods of addressing crime. It is also imperative that criminal justice agencies continue to coordinate resources and policy in order to reduce crime. The total number of adults arrested for Part I crimes, as reported to UCR by reporting agencies, decreased 14.1 percent during the eight-year period, while arrests for Part I Violent Offenses had a slight 1.0 percent increase. Total Part I Property Offense adult arrests decreased 17.4 percent from 1995 through 2002. Arrests for vehicle thefts increased 92.2 percent, while all of the other Property Offense categories showed declines. There was an increase of 27.0 percent in arrests for adult Part II Drug Offenses in the state. Arrests for sale or manufacturing of drugs by adults declined 4.4 percent, while adult arrests for possession increased 37.2 percent. The total number of adult arrests for all Part II offenses statewide increased 14.2 percent over the eight-year period from 1995 through 2002. Total Part I Juvenile Arrests decreased by 26.8 percent from 1995 to 2002. Arrests of juveniles involved in violent crimes decreased 29.8 percent. Total Part I Property Offense arrests of juveniles decreased 26.3 percent from 1995 through 2002. Total juvenile arrests for Part II Drug Offenses 396 decreased 3.4 percent statewide. Arrests for sale or manufacturing of drugs decreased 32.6 percent during the eight year period. Arrests for possession increased 0.9 percent. Total Part II juvenile arrests decreased 22.7 percent during the eight year period. While the number of arrests for Part I crimes did not increase substantially, the total population of inmates committed to the Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) increased from 21,133 in 1995 to 29,273 in 2002, a 38.5 percent increase in eight years. This also shows that 8,140 more inmates are committed to the Department of Corrections in 2002 than were in 1995. The number of inmates in prison for Part I violent crimes increased from 6,757 in 1995 to 9,843 in 2002, a 41.5 percent increase. The number of inmates in prison for Part I property crimes increased from 4,309 in 1995 to 5,019 in 2002, a 16.5 percent increase. The number of inmates in prison for drug crimes increased from 4,533 in 1995 to 5,511 in 2002, a 21.6 percent increase. In 2002, the population of inmates age 18 to 25 committed to ADC was 5,407 compared to 3,988 in 1995, a 35.6 percent increase. The inmates in this age group made up 18.5 percent of the total inmate population in 2002 compared to 18.9 percent of the total inmate population in 1995. Sheriff Departments in Arizona from 1996 to 2002 experienced a 48.6 percent growth in agency budgets. This growth is reflected in the 6.5 percent increase in the total personnel employed by these departments from 2000 to 2002. During the same time period, the number of sworn personnel increased 11.8 percent. The average daily population in the jails increased from 10,665 in 2000 to 12,335 in 2002, a 15.7 percent increase. This increase is indicative of the overall workload increase for these departments. An aggregate total of workload by category for the Sheriff Departments was not possible in all cases due to the inability of some agencies to provide all of the data requested. The criminal justice community is facing current financial pressures placing more and more emphasis on grants and soft money. These financial pressures are influenced by several sources including increased workloads, increased security due to terrorism, increasing populations, crime associated with illegal immigration, and increased drug use. Adequate stable funding is always a concern and it is unrealistic in the current budget and economic climate to expect Arizona’s General Funds to be able to address all of these competing issues. Priorities will need to be established and it is one of the purposes of the White Paper to provide the data from which to formulate those priorities. Some progress towards stability has been made since the original White Paper was published in 1995. The Jail Tax Districts approved and created by the voters to collect and use excise taxes to fund the building and maintenance of jails have increased from one county, La Paz, participating in 1995, to five counties currently using this method of funding. These counties, Coconino, La Paz, Maricopa, Yavapai and Yuma have found these taxes to be a stable funding source. However, most have seen a reduction in General Fund moneys after the tax was approved, so while the funding is more stable the actual funding level did not increase substantially. Apache County uses a similar concept by funding its juvenile and adult facilities through property taxes. Using special taxes is but one example of dedicated funding sources for specific purposes. While the current economic climate of Arizona may not be favorable to finding new funding sources, dedicated funding should be evaluated as a tool for consideration in better economic times. These methods allow for stable funding that supplements the amounts that criminal justice receives from General Funds and helps eliminate the competition for scarce resources. 397 Another difficulty facing the criminal justice system in Arizona is the lack of integrated information systems that would allow criminal justice agencies to more easily share information and the lack of a coordinated communication system for law enforcement. Deficiencies will be costly to address, and may affect not only the day-to-day ability of officers to perform their job, but also the ability of law enforcement to adequately address issues concerning terrorism and public safety. The data collection process for this White Paper, with the exception of prosecution data, saw an increase in the ability of agencies to provide data since the original White Paper in 1995 due to improved computer information systems. One of the major instruments of data collection and data sharing for the criminal justice community in Arizona is Uniform Crime Reporting, known as UCR. This data allows for comparison of arrests and crime over time and across agencies. Unfortunately, several agencies have had difficulty providing this vital information to the Department of Public Safety. Since the White Paper published in 1995, more agencies are providing this data, but the agencies that are currently not able to provide the data have also not provided data in the past. This makes it impossible to get a complete count of the number of crimes and arrests reported in Arizona. In order for Arizona to be able to fight crime more effectively, these agencies need to have computer information systems that are capable of producing UCR information. While computer information systems in Arizona’s law enforcement agencies have improved dramatically since 1995, there is still much improvement to be made. And finally, Arizona, along with the rest of the nation, will experience increased demands upon the criminal justice system. This is due to higher levels of security necessary to address the threat of terrorism that was not even considered when the 1995 study was produced. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attack demonstrated the vulnerability of our current systems and presented a demand and necessity for unanticipated funding to address security issues. Security issues will continue to be a major consideration and will continue to have an effect on the criminal justice system and its resources. Several issues were identified within this report that are systemic in nature and therefore impact the entire criminal justice community. One significant example is the inability to obtain accurate projections by age and gender for males between the ages of 18 and 24. Since the group that is most at-risk for entering the criminal justice system is males between the ages of 16 and 24, the inability to project population growth for this group must be addressed. Tied to the need for accurate projections is the need for further research into current criminal justice issues. These issues include, but are not limited to, motor vehicle theft, terrorism, budgets, data resources and illegal immigration. Timely and accurate research gives the criminal justice system one more tool with which to effectively fight crime. As this version of the White Paper illustrates, electronic transfer of data between agencies is highly desirable because it creates the ability to more effectively illustrate the present day issues and problems that are faced by the system. Research, information sharing and the collection of meaningful data are seriously limited by outdated computer information systems. Substandard computer information systems limit the ability of criminal justice agencies to communicate information effectively between agencies, including various judicial decisions and criminal history information. This in turn hampers the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire system. More than ever before the criminal justice system in Arizona has and will be asked to demonstrate effectiveness and quantifiable results. The ability to respond to these types of questions can only 398 come from having accurate data, reliable and available projection information, up-to-date research, effective integrated information systems and stable funding. In summary, the expectations from the citizens of the state of Arizona have changed since the 1995 White Paper. The tragic event of September 11, 2001 touched and changed the lives of all Americans. The bar has been raised in terms of what will be expected from the criminal justice system. The citizens of Arizona and the nation will need a criminal justice system that is integrated, collaborative, and able to respond to the challenges it will face. The criminal justice system will need to demonstrate more than ever that it is not only able to respond but that it has increased its level of preparedness and responsiveness to the new challenges it will encounter. 399
