    Evaluation of Indianapolis Comprehensive Anti-Gang Initiative, Final Report
    (IUPUI (Campus). Center for Criminal Justice Research, 2012) Thelin, Rachel; Stucky, Thomas; Nagle, Matthew; Newby, Bill
    Through collaboration between the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana, the City of Indianapolis/Marion County, and the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, a steering committee was formed to plan and execute activities for the three-pronged approached focusing on prevention, law enforcement, and reentry programs to diminish gang activity in Indianapolis. The CAGI Steering Committee was comprised of representatives from the Indianapolis Mayor’s Office, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD), the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, community leaders, and members of the faith community. Three subcommittees also were created to oversee the three initiatives (law enforcement, prevention/intervention, and reentry).. In July 2008, the Center for Criminal Justice Research (CCJR), part of the Indiana University Public Policy Institute, was engaged to serve as the research partner for CAGI. Throughout the program, CCJR provided feedback on implementation, input on data collection, and gathered a considerable amount of information for evaluating law enforcement, prevention/intervention, and reentry activities. This report summarizes the history of the grant and expenditures, recaps CAGI research activities undertaken in 2009 and 2010, and discusses research activities across all three areas in 2011 and 2012, concluding with lessons learned during the entire grant period.

    Review of Best Practices for ICLI Program Areas and Funding Streams: Title II Formula Grants Program
    (IUPUI (Campus). Center for Criminal Justice Research, 2013-06) Thelin, Rachel
    In an effort to assist the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) in improving criminal justice programming and policy development in Indiana, the Center for Criminal Justice Research (CCJR) entered into a two-year research partnership (beginning in June 2011) to perform critical data collection and analytical tasks in two broad research areas identified as priorities by ICJI. The scope of work includes 1) a review of best practices for each ICJI program area and 10 major funding streams, and 2) a statewide criminal justice data assessment. This report describes best practices for subgrants awarded under the Title II Formula Grants (Title II) funding stream administered by ICJI. For this assessment, CCJR researchers consulted relevant materials from ICJI, including subgrantee award amounts for the previous two funding cycles, Title II subgrantee solicitation documents, and 2011 funded Title II subgrantee applications.

    Sexual Assault Services Program (SASP) and Sexual Offense Services (SOS)
    (IUPUI (Campus). Center for Criminal Justice Research, 2013-02) Thelin, Rachel; Fordyce, Erin; Tynes, Adriene; Chang, Joice; Kiser, Kate; Sherls, Jaime
    This report describes best practices for subgrants awarded under the Sexual Assault Services Program (SASP) and Sexual Offense Services (SOS) funding streams administered by ICJI. For this assessment, CCJR researchers consulted relevant materials from ICJI, including subgrantee information for the previous two funding cycles under each program, SASP and SOS subgrantee solicitation documents, and 2011 funded SASP and SOS subgrantee applications. . The SASP was created by the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005. SASP is the first federal funding stream dedicated to the provision of direct intervention and related assistance for victims of sexual assault. The overall purpose of the SASP is to “provide intervention, advocacy, accompaniment, support services, and related assistance for adult, youth, and child victims of sexual assault, family and household members of victims, and those collaterally affected by the sexual assault (Office of Violence Against Women, 2011, p. 1).

    Traumatic Brain Injury Prevalence: Indiana Department of Correction Prisoner Population
    (IUPUI (Campus). Center for Criminal Justice Research, 2013-06) Sapp, Dona; Ray, Brad
    In Indiana, there is currently no systematic screening for traumatic brain injury (TBI) among incarcerated populations; however, a recent analysis conducted by researchers at the Indiana University Public Policy Institute (PPI) of baseline TBI screening data, collected in fall 2012 by the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC), suggests that nearly 36 percent of offenders in Indiana facilities reported some form of TBI during their lifetime. This issue brief summarizes the results of the Indiana baseline data analysis, as well as research findings from other states and at the national level, on the prevalence of TBI among incarcerated populations. The brief concludes with a discussion of recommended best practices for diagnosing and treating TBI both pre- and post-release from prison, including recommended next steps for addressing this issue in Indiana.
