According to the data, black women compose less than six percent of San Francisco's female population, but constitute nearly half of all female arrests and experience arrest rates 13 times higher than women of other races. The fact sheet expounds upon a 2012 CJCJ research brief by Mike Males and William Armaline, which charts the increasing racially disparate arrest rates of African Americans in San Francisco over the past 40 years that continue today. While in 1980 African American women were 4.1 times more likely to be arrested than women of other races, as of 2013, black women in San Francisco were 13.4 times more likely to be arrested than non-black women. This despite an overall decrease in the population of African Americans in San Francisco. Details: San Francisco: Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, 2015. 6p.

Author: Warner, Todd C. Title: Mapping Mobility of Individuals Arrested for Misdemeanors in New York City, 2006-2014 Summary: This study, Mapping Mobility of Individuals Arrested for Misdemeanors in New York City, 2006-2014, aims to inform the NYPD, other criminal justice agencies, social service providers, and community organizations on the geographical allocation of resources for better law enforcement, crime prevention, and community supervision. Key findings from the report are as follows. -In 2014, almost half (48.5 percent) of all individuals arrested for a misdemeanor were arrested outside of their home precinct. Furthermore, if an individual was arrested outside of their home precinct, the arrest most often occurred in an adjacent precinct. -In 2014, almost half (44.6 percent) of all individuals arrested for a misdemeanor in Manhattan did not live in that borough. For other boroughs, individuals arrested there were much more likely to live in that borough: the Bronx (80.8 percent), Brooklyn (83.0 percent), Queens (73.3 percent), and Staten Island (87.0 percent). -In 2014, among home precinct arrests, the most frequent charges were crimes against a person (24.5 percent) and offenses related to marijuana (16.8 percent). -In 2014, of arrests that occurred outside the home precinct, the most frequent charges were property and theft-related (17.7 percent) and vehicle and driving-related (17.2 percent).

Author: Males, Mike Title: Violent Crime Arrests of Youth in California Expected to Decline through 2020 Summary: This report from the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice (CJCJ) predicts ongoing declines in the violent felony arrest rate of California's youth through 2020. The report analyzes past violent felony arrest data for two age groups — children under age 12 and youth ages 12-17 — to identify the relationship between childhood arrest rates today and those of older youth five years in the future. The analysis finds a strong, predictive relationship between the violent felony arrest rates of children under 12 and those of older youth ages 12-17. As such, recent declines in childhood arrest signal continuing and substantial declines in the arrest rate of older youth. The report finds: Arrest data suggest that a decline of 1 arrest per 100,000 children under age 12 would produce a decline of approximately 7.5 arrests per 100,000 12-17-year-old youth five years later. Recent declines in the violent felony arrest rates of children under 12 forecast a decline of 24 percent in the violent felony arrest rate of youth ages 12-17 from 2016 to 2020. This translates into a annual reduction of 1,600 to 1,700 arrests. A decline in the number of youth arrested annually for violent felonies will shrink the pool of youth eligible for commitment to local detention facilities and the state’s Division of Juvenile Justice.

Author: Gonzalez, Naihobe Title: 2016 - 2017 Oakland Unite Agency Report Summary: This 2016-2017 agency report describes the agencies that make up the Oakland Unite network, summarizing information about the participants they serve, how they serve them, and the successes and challenges they face. This report does not examine participant outcomes, which are the focus of other reports; the box below provides a summary of the recent impact evaluation of two sub-strategies. The agency report is based on analyses of administrative data, site visits, grantee interviews, and document reviews. This executive summary characterizes high-level trends across the Oakland Unite agencies, and in the chapters that follow we provide details for each specific agency. Oakland Unite agencies serve people who experience violence, contact with the police, and disconnection from education. A central goal of Oakland Unite is to target services to people in Oakland at the highest risk of involvement in violence and/or violent victimization under various sub-strategies. As a result, "high risk" can be defined a number of ways, including by self-reported involvement in dangerous activities such as gun use, police records of arrests or reported victimization, or school records indicating disengagement and behavioral challenges. Among adult-serving agencies in the employment and education support services, life coaching, street outreach, and shooting response sub-strategies, the vast majority of participants report having been shot or seriously injured, being at immediate risk of violence, or both. In line with the populations they target, many of the participants in Oakland Unite agencies have been arrested by the Oakland Police Department before enrollment in the programs, have reported a violent crime or assault to the Oakland Police Department before enrollment, or both. Participants in youth-serving agencies face barriers to educational success, including high rates of suspension and chronic absences from school. The Oakland Unite network provides light-touch assistance for individuals in crisis, and a subset of participants receive more intensive services. In the Oakland Unite model, sub-strategies provide different but complementary services to participants. These services can be provided individually, in groups, or in large public event formats and range from light touch to intensive. Although the fact that there are many agencies providing different services makes them difficult to compare along a single metric, the diverse set of services provides multiple opportunities for participants to get the support they need. Oakland Unite agencies serve participants together with other agencies in the network. Many participants receive services from multiple Oakland Unite agencies. Collaboration between agencies can occur within and across sub-strategies. High levels of collaboration were observed for the life coaching, commercially sexually exploited children, street outreach, and shooting response sub-strategies. Housing is a frequent challenge for Oakland Unite agencies. Most agencies report that the high cost of living in the East Bay, particularly the high cost of housing, is a challenge. According to staff, participants feel strained to afford their housing in Oakland and are often forced to move or face homelessness. Residential location can affect program eligibility and access to services and employment opportunities, and high residential mobility makes it difficult for participants to stay involved in programs. High cost of living also contributes to agency staff turnover, as staff report that their salaries are too low to afford housing in Oakland. Some Oakland Unite agencies provide housing services for participants, including temporary shelter, relocation services, or connections to longer-term situations. Oakland Unite agencies allocate significant shares of their budgets to financial transfers for participants. Agencies promoting work readiness and training offer participants opportunities for subsidized work experience. Life coaching agencies provide financial incentives for participants to achieve predetermined goals. Other agencies provide direct supports to participants by covering the cost of relocation. Staff report that these supports are critical to helping participants get by financially as well as to motivating them to participate and progress through the programs. Building strong relationships with participants with complex needs is a key strategy highlighted by staff, but staff turnover is a challenge. Agency staff report that many Oakland Unite participants struggle with experiences of trauma, mental health needs, and substance abuse. Leaders of most agencies reported that a key factor in providing services to this population is hiring staff with the right combination of professional training and personal experience who are able to build authentic and lasting relationships with participants. However, most agencies find recruiting skilled staff with backgrounds similar to their participants to be difficult and staff turnover due to burnout and low pay to be a challenge.

Author: Williams, Ryan Kendall Title: Disaggregating Delinquency Trends in Arrests and Self-Reported Illegal Behavior Summary: Recent claims that juvenile delinquency is declining and that there is no juvenile crime wave have rely heavily on official reports of juvenile arrests for serious offenses such as aggravated assault and murder. While the study of these types of offenses is certainly important, the majority of juvenile offending is of a much less serious nature. I propose that a more complete picture of juvenile offending trends should incorporate a more broad range of juvenile behaviors including a substantial focus on minor offending. The Uniform Crime Reports are virtually the only source of official information on long-term trends in officially recorded juvenile crime in the United States. Perhaps the most important advantage of these data, in terms of this project, is the ability to compare arrest rates of juveniles over approximately the last 40 years. Although arrest data have been used to study trends in violent offending, they also provide longitudinal information on more minor offending such as runaway, curfew violations, drunkenness and vandalism. In comparison, self-reports of delinquent behavior have been underutilized in the study of national crime trends due to a lack of nationally representative samples as well as a focus on more minor offending. Since it is important to study crime trends with as many methods as possible, this study will also examine estimates of time trends in self-reported offending based on the Monitoring the future Survey, an annual national survey of high school seniors. Like the UCR the MTF survey measures range of serious offending, but its main strength lies in its measurement of minor offending including many forms of drug use, truancy, and traffic tickets. Second, the MTF survey offers the advantage of covering offenses that are knowingly committed by juveniles, whether or not they are detected by victims or reported to authorities. Findings from this study indicate that 1) self-report data show that longitudinal trends in both juvenile arrest rates and self-reports of delinquent behavior vary considerably by offense type; 2) an even greater amount of variation exists in trends for arrest rates than for rates of self-reported delinquency; 3) trend patterns for individual offenses vary across self-report and official data, with the exception of assault and arson; 4) trends for serious offenses such as assault and robbery show a moderate amount of similarity over the last 37 years; 5) trends for minor offenses have shown very disparate patterns over the last 37 years.
