Late last week, California Attorney General Rob Bonta released
four annual reports — as well as 10 new data dashboards — that
provide the public with statewide data on criminal justice
statistics in California. The reports, as well as the data behind
each report, are available on OpenJustice, a data-driven
initiative that works to increase access to criminal justice data
and support the development of public policy.
The information contained in the reports reflects statistics for
2020 as submitted by California law enforcement agencies and
other criminal justice entities. The criminal justice reports and
supporting data published by the California Department of Justice
provide key findings, data visualizations, and downloadable
datasets.
Key findings from each of the four criminal justice statistics
reports and a brief, partial description of their contents are
available
here. Additional information about the reports and dashboards
can be found at the Attorney General’s
website.
