Funding and Partners
Justice Reinvestment a data-driven approach to reduce corrections spending and reinvest savings in strategies that can decrease recidivism and increase public safety.
Council of State Governments Justice Center

Justice Reinvestment Focuses on Four Evidence-Based Strategies 1. Focus on the people most likely to commit crime 2. Use programs proven to work and ensure they are high quality 3. Deploy supervision policies and practices that balance sanctions and treatment 4. Target places where crime and recidivism rates are the highest

Kansas Faces Three Public Safety Challenges That Are Also Contributing to Growth in the Corrections System
1
Crime – Statewide crime rate is lower than national averages,
2
Probation – Kansas has taken steps to strengthen supervision
3
Reentry – Recidivism has fallen thanks to successful efforts,
but law enforcement resources are challenged by rising or higher rates of crime in certain communities and with particular populations.
in the community, but the locally-driven community corrections system's resources are now strained.
but opportunities exist to broaden these gains and better address the needs of victims. Council of State Governments Justice Center

Summary of Crime Findings
Crime is down when viewed as a statewide average, but... ď ą More than 60% of counties face rising crime or have rates exceeding the statewide average. ď ą More than half of all counties are experiencing significant increases in domestic violence.
ď ą Constrained resources are limiting ability of law enforcement to be more effective in preventing crime.

Feedback from Law Enforcement Officials Emerging Challenges Few options for addressing mental health issues when responding to calls for service Increased amount of time spent transporting offenders (esp. behavioral health crisis) Backlogs at KBI prevent timely processing of crime scene evidence Need for greater data sharing across systems and agencies Local budget cuts leading to reductions in force Large geographical distances being covered by too few officers

Summary of Probation Findings
Despite modest growth in felony probation population, revocations are on the rise contributing to prison growth. 17% increase in rate of revocations to prison since FY 2009 – almost exclusively conditions violators. Most revoked high-risk probationers do not receive adequate programming in community.
Successful, low-risk probationers are being supervised as long as high-risk probationers. Barriers exist to more effective supervision practices. Council of State Governments Justice Center

Probation Agencies Indicate Challenges to Providing Successful Supervision Uniform LSI-R cut-off scores are not used across the state for purposes of sentencing to probation. Officers are unable to move an offender between Community Corrections and Court Services.
Court Services and Community Corrections not truly distinguished according to risk level.
There is no standardized grid of progressive sanctions for responding to violations. Sanctions lack speed; much time elapses between motion to revoke filing and the hearing date.
Accountability weakened.
Many agencies cannot impose a brief jail stay without going back to court. Officers spend excessive time in court due to continuances and postponements. Restitution-only cases comprise significant share of caseload; they still require officer face time.

Summary of Reentry-Related Findings
Kansas has demonstrated success in reducing recidivism for those released to post-release supervision, and there are opportunities to expand that success even further. Increased delivery of behind-the-walls programming for those in need and resulting reductions in recidivism. As with probation, supervision resources unnecessarily devoted to low-risk PRS population. Many obstacles to preservation of victims’ interests identified by advocates.

Victim Advocate Feedback Need to enhance prioritization of issues surrounding the crime of domestic violence
Inadequate victim services, especially in rural areas Insufficient training and oversight of victim witness coordinators
No automated victim notification system A need to strengthen restitution collection Council of State Governments Justice Center
38
Kansas’ Restitution Collection Policies Present Opportunities for Better Practices Begin collecting restitution from inmates earlier than current practice (i.e. before work release). Expand funds from which restitution can be collected (i.e. tax return garnishments, other inmate deposits). Only allow commissary purchases for inmates who are up to date in meeting restitution obligations (either in whole or in accordance with a payment plan). Ensure that parole/PRS officers have easy access to payment history/amount owed. Council of State Governments Justice Center
39
Victim-Witness Coordinators & DOC Need More Access to Training & Resources for Improving Notification Funding for training of victim-witness coordinators has dwindled as grant funds diminish. Victim notification of offender movement is not electronic like most states. Rather, in Kansas it’s typically done through traditional paper mail or phone calls. There is little consistency across the state regarding the kinds of services a victim-witness coordinator provides.

Principles to Guide Development of Policy Framework 1. Focus on the people most likely to commit crime
Are valuable supervision resources focused on those who are high risk and needs?
2. Use programs proven to work and ensure they are high quality
Is there enough programming capacity in the community to promote public safety outcomes?
3. Deploy supervision policies and practices that balance sanctions and treatment
Does supervision graduate sanctions and promote accountability through swift/certain sanctions balanced with incentives?
4. Target places where crime and Does local law enforcement have the tools it recidivism rates are the needs to protect community? highest Council of State Governments Justice Center

This material was prepared for the State of Kansas. The presentation was developed by members of the Council of State Governments Justice Center staff. Because presentations are not subject to the same rigorous review process as other printed materials, the statements made reflect the views of the authors, and should not be considered the official position of the Justice Center, the members of the Council of State Governments, or the funding agency supporting the work.
