California’s Criminal Justice System: A Primer

January 31, 2007 - In an effort to put the current discussion of crime in California in perspective, we have prepared this report to answer several key questions, including:

• How much crime is there in California? How has the level of crime changed over time? How does crime vary within California, and among the states?
• Who are the victims and perpetrators of crime?
• How does the California criminal justice system-local law enforcement, courts, and correctional agencies-deal with adult and juvenile offenders?
• What are the characteristics of adult and juveniles under the supervision of local and state correctional agencies?
• What are the costs of crime and the criminal justice system?
• What are the key criminal justice issues for policymakers today?
