Summary of Family Violence Arrest Incidents in Connecticut, 2003-2004. Date Completed, December 2006.

Connecticut police departments are required by state law to complete a family violence arrest report in all cases of family violence (both intimate and nonintimate).  These reports are collected by the Connecticut Department of Public Safety.  In working with the Connecticut Department of Public Safety, this report summarizes family violence arrests from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2004.  It focuses on the offender/victim relationships, characteristics of the incident (date and time, involvement of weapons, extent of injuries, and presence of drugs or alcohol), and whether the incident resulted in dual arrests.

State of Connecticut Current Correctional Population Indicators, Monthly Report. Beginning Date, November 2006 and ongoing.

The Connecticut Office of Policy and Management, Criminal Justice Planning Division, is mandated by Connecticut Statutes to produce a monthly prison population summary report. The CTSAC served as the conduit for creating these reports by organizing and facilitating a work group of criminal justice agency representatives to collect and present correctional data.  This report presents ongoing and up-to-date information about the number and types of prison intakes, discharges, probation intakes, parole and community program intakes and discharges, and short-term prison population projections.

This report presents the current correctional population indicators for Connecticut monthly and includes six month projections for the correctional system.

Recidivism Report. Annual Report. Beginning date, January 2007.

The CTSAC was asked to produce a prison recidivism report by the Criminal Justice Planning Division of the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management.  This report follows the reconviction and reincarceration rates of inmates released from Connecticut prisons in 2000.  The data is broken down by type of release (end of sentence, parole, and Department of Correction community program) along with offense types and time to re-arrest.  The report will be presented to the Connecticut General Assembly as part of the statutorily mandated reporting requirements.

State of Connecticut Prison Population Projections, Annual Report. Completed January, 2007.

As part of the statutorily mandated reporting requirements of the Criminal Justice Planning Division in the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management, the CTSAC produced this annual report.  This report summarizes current misconceptions regarding the significant rise in Connecticut’s prison population from 1985 to 2007, explores factors that may have caused these increase, and calculated prison population projections through 2012. 

Deaths in Police Custody Reporting, 2005-Present

Pursuant to the Deaths in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 (Public Law 106 297) BJS is obtaining data on deaths occurring in prisons, jails, and juvenile detention facilities throughout the country, as well as those occurring in the process of arrest. Examples of these latter deaths include vehicular and other fatalities resulting from flight from arrest, uses of lethal force by police, suicides occurring during arrest attempts, and deaths of arrestees resulting from drug overdoses, or other medical conditions (i.e. heart attacks, strokes, seizures) or deaths occurring during transport to a holding facility, jail, or booking center. The Connecticut SAC will continue to obtain specified data on these deaths and report them quarterly to BJS.
