The survey found that the actual costs of operating jails are higher than typically reported for three key reasons: (1) Jail budgets do not include expenses paid by other county agencies like employee benefits, medical care, and education programs for inmates; (2) Personnel costs, which make up the majority of jail spending, rise as inmate populations increase requiring more guards and staff; (3) County general funds, not just corrections budgets, ultimately pay for the full costs of incarceration in local jails. The findings provide a more accurate picture of the true taxpayer costs of incarceration to help policymakers make more informed decisions.
This document discusses using cost-benefit analysis to evaluate justice policies and pretrial systems. It outlines the steps of CBA, including determining costs and benefits from different stakeholder perspectives. As an example, it analyzes studies that found incarcerating offenders costs $1 but generates $1.74 in benefits to taxpayers and victims. The document recommends CBAs on pretrial systems and provides resources for practitioners, including a knowledge bank and studies on estimating public safety benefits.
The Resurrection Of Jesus By Bethany, Brittany, CassiZion
The document summarizes the biblical story of Jesus' resurrection from the dead according to the Gospel of Matthew. It describes how Mary Magdalene and another Mary went to Jesus' tomb to anoint his body but found the stone rolled away and an angel who told them Jesus had risen. The angel instructed the women to tell Jesus' disciples the news. The summary concludes that Jesus' resurrection means believers can now live forever with him in heaven.
A group of men carried their paralyzed friend to where Jesus was preaching, hoping he could heal the man. Unable to get through the crowds, the men cut a hole in the roof and lowered the paralyzed man down in front of Jesus. After seeing their faith, Jesus forgave the man's sins and healed his paralysis, allowing him to walk again.
The document discusses the use of cost-benefit analysis in justice policymaking. It describes how the Vera Institute of Justice's Cost-Benefit Analysis Unit helps policymakers evaluate the economic costs and benefits of criminal justice programs and policies. It provides examples of cost-benefit studies that have found some evidence-based programs reduce recidivism and generate cost-savings, while incarceration is only cost-effective for serious offenders. The document encourages the use of cost-benefit analysis to inform decision-making and identifies resources for further information.
This document provides an overview and guidance for conducting a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of justice policies and programs. It outlines the six basic steps of a CBA: 1) identify potential impacts, 2) quantify impacts, 3) determine marginal costs, 4) calculate costs, benefits and net present value, 5) test assumptions, and 6) report results. The purpose is to guide analysts new to CBA methodology. Examples are provided from a CBA of the Center for Employment Opportunities transitional jobs program to illustrate concepts. Close collaboration with evaluators and an advisory panel is advised to ensure access to necessary data and diverse perspectives.
This webinar discussed victim costs and methods for estimating them. Tina Stanford from the New York State Office of Victim Services outlined tangible costs like medical expenses and intangible costs like pain and suffering. Kathryn McCollister from the University of Miami described methods like cost-of-illness and willingness-to-pay that can place dollar values on victim costs. These cost estimates are important for cost-benefit analyses of criminal justice programs and policies to fully account for the impacts of crime. The webinar provided examples of estimating costs for specific crimes like robbery.
Taxpayers and government
Consider costs and benefits from:
- Taxpayer perspective
- Government perspective
Slide 33
Determine whose perspectives matter.
For this analysis, we will consider costs and benefits from:
- Taxpayer perspective
- Government perspective
These perspectives capture the major public funders and implementers of drug courts.
Slide 34
Measure costs.
What are the program costs for 100 participants over 3 years?
- Program operations: $2,000 per participant x 100 participants x 3 years = $600,000
- Evaluation: $50,000
- Total costs = $650,000
We have estimated costs for operating the drug court program and
This document discusses how cost-benefit analysis can inform criminal justice policy and planning decisions. It defines three types of economic analysis - cost analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, and cost-benefit analysis. Cost analysis determines how much a program will cost, cost-effectiveness analysis determines if the same results can be achieved at lower cost, and cost-benefit analysis determines if one program option provides more benefits relative to its costs than alternative options. The document provides examples of how each type of analysis has been applied to inform decisions around prisons, jail alternatives, evidence-based programs, and an ex-prisoner transitional jobs program.
Baptism Of Jesus By Tenille, Lexi, Sara, RavenZion
Jesus traveled to the Jordan River to be baptized by his cousin John the Baptist. John said he was unworthy for the task, but Jesus insisted it was John's duty. After John baptized Jesus, the skies opened and God's spirit descended on Jesus in the form of a dove, with God declaring his love for his son. Baptism allows people to join God's family, just as Jesus did, even though humans are unworthy - God loves us anyway.
This document provides an overview of sensitivity analysis as part of cost-benefit analysis for justice policies. Sensitivity analysis examines how sensitive the results of a cost-benefit analysis are to changes in underlying assumptions and parameters. The document discusses deterministic sensitivity analysis techniques like partial sensitivity analysis, which varies inputs one at a time, and scenario analysis, which defines best and worst case scenarios. It also discusses probabilistic sensitivity analysis using Monte Carlo simulation. The goal of sensitivity analysis is to assess the robustness of cost-benefit analysis results to changes in assumptions.
This document provides an overview of a webinar on using cost-benefit analysis for justice policy. It discusses estimating the costs of incarceration and crime, including factors like recidivism rates, victim costs, and costs by crime type. It also covers estimating the probabilities of arrest, conviction, and sentencing outcomes. The webinar teaches how to apply effect sizes from program evaluations to estimate how policy changes could impact costs by reducing future criminal behavior. The goal is to help policymakers assess different options and maximize benefits relative to costs.

The public blames all main political parties for the fall in living standards in recent years, though Labour slightly more so. While Conservative supporters tend to blame Labour, Labour supporters are more evenly split. Although economic recovery is occurring, it has not yet translated to improvements in personal finances. There is increasing optimism that living standards will benefit from growth by the next election in 2015. Most expect that an economic recovery would raise living standards for people like themselves. The Conservatives have a slight lead over other parties as being most trusted to improve living standards. However, on specific living standards issues like wages, costs of living, housing, and childcare, Labour outperforms the Conservatives except on tax cuts. In most cases, the public feels no
The document discusses three music magazines focused on different genres:
1) A magazine focused on classic pop from the 1960s/1980s, targeting middle-aged readers. It features artists like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
2) Mojo magazine, published by Bauer, which covers classic pop, rock, and mainstream music across a wide age range. It features artists like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Amy Winehouse.
3) A proposed magazine on Indian classical music, chosen because the author has a family background in it and it would fill a lack of coverage of this unique genre.
