As a part of their blueprint, the authors provide four steps in making recidivism a meaningful performance measure. They are: 1.Definition: Use multiple measures of success. 2.Collection: Develop protocols to ensure data are consistent, accurate, and timely. 3.Analysis: Account for the underlying composition of the population. 4.Dissemination: Package the findings to maximize impact and get the results into the hands of decisionmakers. The brief elaborates on each step, suggesting that there is no "right" measure of recidivism. Instead, the authors say, "States should think of recidivism as a series of different performance indicators that must be carefully calibrated to the outcome they are intended to measure. Recidivism reduction is the responsibility of multiple agencies and many different actors, and the definition of success must allow for a range of outcome measures that are responsive to this fact."
