Authority releases final report of the Go To 2040 Crime and Justice Planning Initiative
The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, in partnership with University of Illinois at Chicago Center for Research in Law and Justice, has released the publication, Final report of the Go To 2040 Crime and Justice Planning Initiative.
This report is the culmination of a comprehensive, long-range planning project that looks ahead to Year 2040 for the 7-county Chicago metropolitan region, and addresses six major themes:
- Refining our understanding of the causes of crime and delinquency.
- Addressing the needs of crime victims.
- Fairness and equity in law enforcement strategies.
- Community engagement and capacity building for a holistic approach to crime prevention and intervention.
- Non-criminal justice solutions for drug offenders.
- Alternatives to incarceration and offender reentry.
For each theme, this report contains a description of the issue and the challenges and opportunities in the area, as well as an action plan that describes recommendations and strategies for addressing the issue.
In general, the recommendations encourage the pursuit of evidence-based, rational approaches that have a high probability of achieving justice and enhancing public safety, as well as the development of multi-agency partnerships that require agencies outside the criminal justice system to accept responsibility for policies and practices that contribute to deviance, delinquency and criminality.
The crime and justice planning process planning process was part of a broader effort sponsored by The Chicago Community Trust and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning that encompasses multiple domains of public life including land use, transportation, housing and environmental issues, education, health, workforce development, arts and culture, food security, human relations and public safety.
More information on that project can be found at www.goto2040.org.
