Title: Improving State Criminal History Records Through Analysis: Profiling Drug Offenders

Summary: Ohio’s criminal history database is a central repository for criminal history information for the state of Ohio. It was developed and housed at the Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI&I) office in 1921. It first became computerized (computerized criminal history database, or CCH) in 1972. There are multiple sources that provide data to CCH. Currently, over 1200 law enforcement agencies throughout Ohio enter arrest data and fingerprint cards into the database. Ohio courts are required to submit final dispositions to BCI, where they are logically linked to their corresponding arrests in CCH. Ohio correctional facilities enter information into CCH as well, including the offender’s fingerprints, the charge(s) for which he is being incarcerated, and demographic data. Through a partnership between the BCI&I and the Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS), a division of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, OCJS was able to obtain secure access to a portion of the CCH database. Records which were made available to OCJS included information on demographics, arrests, charges, and judicial processing. Identifying information, such as names and social security numbers, were excluded. Historical records were linked through a single unique identifier, the subject ID number. This report presents the findings of this analysis.
