Quarterly Detention Reports
Contents
The Juvenile Justice Detention Monitoring Report and the Juvenile Justice Detention Stat Sheets, collectively known as the Quarterly Detention Reports, are produced by the OCFS Bureau of Research, Evaluation, and Performance Analytics (BREPA) to provide state and local decision makers with access to timely data on New York State’s detention system. It is our hope that the information provided within these documents will inform discussions surrounding detention and promote data-driven strategies for continuous system improvement.
Juvenile Justice Detention Monitoring Report
The Juvenile Justice Detention Monitoring Report provides an overall picture of how detention is used across the state. This report includes data on three key detention indicators—admissions, average length of stay (ALOS), and average daily population (ADP)—broken out by case type and county. Information is also provided on how detention admission patterns have changed over time.
Juvenile Justice Detention Stat Sheets
The Juvenile Justice Detention Stat Sheets provide detailed detention utilization data at several levels of aggregation, including statewide, region (i.e., New York City and Rest of State), and county. These reports were designed to address questions concerning how much, how long, and for whom detention is utilized. Counties are encouraged to examine their individual Stat Sheets with an eye toward local concerns.
