Agency: Governor's Office

Line Item: Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice

Function

The Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ) line item was created by the 1983 Legislature. The commission is comprised of 21 voting members and reports directly to the Governor. Its statutorily defined purpose is to:

  • promote broad philosophical agreement concerning the objectives of the criminal and juvenile justice system in Utah,
  • provide a mechanism for coordinating the functions of the various branches and levels of government concerned with criminal and juvenile justice to achieve those objectives,
  • coordinate statewide efforts to reduce crime and victimization in Utah, and
  • accomplish other duties stated in law.

The Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice Line Item consists of nine programs. They are:

  1. CCJJ Commission
  2. Utah Office for Victims of Crime (UOVC)
  3. Extraditions
  4. Substance Abuse Advisory Council
  5. Sentencing Commission
  6. Gang Reduction Grant Program
  7. Crime Reduction Assistance Program
  8. Sexual Exploitation of Children
  9. Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission

Statutory Authority

UCA 63M Chapter 7 Part 2 highlights specific duties of the commission:

  • study, evaluate, and report on the status of crime in Utah and the effectiveness of criminal justice programs;
  • study policies of other jurisdictions which have effectively reduced crime;
  • implement specific policies that will reduce crime;
  • analyze and make recommendations on all criminal justice legislation, budget, and facilities requests;
  • supervise state and federal criminal justice grant monies;
  • assist local units of government;
  • provide a comprehensive criminal justice plan annually; and
  • prepare an annual report for the Governor, Legislature, and Judicial Council.

Intent Language

    Under section 63J-1-603 of the Utah Code, the Legislature intends that appropriations provided for the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice Services in Item 8 of Chapter 11 Laws of Utah 2012 not lapse at the close of fiscal year 2013.

Special Funds

Crime Victim Reparations Fund. A restricted special revenue fund, funded by criminal surcharges, and administered by the Utah Office for Victims of Crime. Revenues to this fund support victim reparations, criminal justice and substance abuse, other victim services, and, as appropriated, for administrative costs of CCJJ.

General Fund Restricted - Law Enforcement Services Account. State law requires proceeds to be appropriated to the commission for increased law enforcement in areas with halfway houses. Funds must be allocated to local law enforcement agencies on a pro-rata basis determined by the number of beds in each agency's jurisdiction. Revenues are derived from a 4.5 percent share of criminal surcharges.

General Fund Restricted - Law Enforcement Operations Account. The fund is used to implement enforcement and programs related to reducing illegal drug activity. Revenues to the fund are derived from the balance of criminal surcharges not otherwise allocated by law.

General Fund Restricted - Criminal Forfeiture Restricted Account. Receives proceeds from forfeited property or money, or any damages awarded to the state. CCJJ uses the fund for implementing the Crime Reduction Assistance Program.

Program: CCJJ Commission

Function

The CCJJ Commission program manages state and federal criminal and juvenile justice grant programs and provides analysis, accountability recommendations, and supervision of criminal justice grant monies. It conducts research on criminal and juvenile justice issues, evaluates policies in Utah and other states, and develops policy recommendations from this research and evaluation. The Office on Domestic and Sexual Violence within CCJJ addresses issues of domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault and dating violence.

Performance

The chart below shows the number of grant projects monitored each quarter. Spikes in in the graph reflect availability of federal funds.

CCJJ - CEA 1 jpg

The two measures below are used to administer the Law Enforcement Support Account and the Justice Assistance grant. They are direct indicators of law enforcement activity in drug and crime enforcement. They are used to demonstrate project activity resulting from grant funding appropriated by the Utah Legislature to support drug enforcement throughout the state.

CCJJ - CEA 2 jpg

This indicates the conviction rate as reported by the 17 multi-jurisdictional drug task forces in the state of Utah that are receiving grant funding from the Law Enforcement Support Account (STFG Grant). The number of convictions reported in each fiscal year are divided in to the number of arrests reported (*100) in order to determine the conviction rate percentage.

CCJJ - CEA 3 jpg

This shows the number of meetings held with stakeholders and community organizations to update DMC data and strategically plan coordinated DMC reduction activities. Meetings were also conducted in the community on DMC to educate, raise awareness on issues, and ask for participation where appropriate.

Program: Utah Office for Victims of Crime

Function

The Utah Office for Victims of Crime (UOVC) carries out its mission in four ways:

  1. Financial Assistance to Victims of Violent Crime. UOVC provides short-term assistance with needs such as medical bills, mental health counseling, funeral and burial in homicide cases, and relocation. Since its inception in 1987, UOVC has provided over $114.7 million in assistance to over 84,000 crime victims. All funds come directly from convicted offenders as UOVC receives no tax dollars to fund its operations.

  2. Federal Grants that Serve Victims of Crime. The Victim of Crime Act (VOCA) grant is sub-awarded to state and local government agencies and non-profit agencies providing direct services such as victim advocacy, crisis intervention, assistance with protective orders, and counseling services. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) grant encourages enhancement of effective strategies to improve the system's response to violence against women.

  3. Sponsorship of the Utah Victim Assistance Academy. A week-long training for victim assistance providers, law enforcement officers, and other criminal justice professionals. The goal of the academy is to provide fundamental knowledge and skills needed to effectively work with victims of crime. The academy is funded through a federal grant. UOVC further provides statewide training on current trends and issues relevant to victim advocacy through the Statewide Association of Victim Advocates, SWAVO.

  4. Utah Council on Victims of Crime. UOVC provides staffing assistance to the council and administers the contract for the Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE) program presently housed in all twenty-six county jails and the Utah State Prison. Total monthly contacts to victims through the VINE network for 2012 averaged about 34,303.

Statutory Authority

Statutory authority for this program is located in UCA 63M Chapter 7 Part 5, "Utah Office for Victims of Crime."

Performance

The Office for Victims of Crimes measures the time required to process new claims from application to determination and has tracked the percent of claims processed within 30 days for many years. Previously this measure included both approved and denied claims. While including "denied" claims in the calculation simplifies the measurement and explanation, it does not reflect OVC's commitment to victims. The office continues to work with applicants until all legitimate claims are processed and does not impose an artificial deadline on the application timeline. The new measure includes claims approved within 30 days which continues to hold the office accountable to quickly resolve problems and yet better reflects OVC's commitment to service.

Special Funds

Crime Victim Reparations Fund. A restricted special revenue fund, meaning it does not require an appropriation for most expenditures. However, the office historically seeks appropriations for expenditures on program administration.

Funding Detail

No state tax dollars are used to fund the Crime Victim Reparations program. During the 2012 General Session an exception to this was made by the Legislature through a one-time General Fund appropriation of $150,000. The following intent language accompanied the $150,000 appropriation:

The Legislature intends that $150,000 for FY 2013 and FY 2014 of one-time funds provided for services of victims of sexual violence with appropriations provided for two year service grants within the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice. The Legislature further intends that the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice will report back to the Legislative Appropriations Committee with performance measures.

Expenditures from the Crime Victim Reparations Fund may include reparations for victims, funding for other victim services, and administrative costs for the UOVC and the Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice as appropriated by the Legislature.

    Program: Gang Reduction Grant Program

    Function

    CCJJ administers the Gang Reduction Grant to address gang issues throughout the State. Emphasis is given to reducing gang related crime through community programs. Gang reduction efforts focus on early intervention programming for high-risk, gang involved youth. Two efforts the Gang Reduction Grant Program is making to meet department goals and objects include: 1) Soliciting and funding gang reduction programs across the state, and 2) Monitoring program compliance and activities.

    Soliciting and funding gang reduction programs across the state. A request for proposals was released in 2011 inviting state and local governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, and community-based agencies to apply for funding to support gang reduction efforts. A review committee comprised of criminal justice professionals with expertise in gang prevention and intervention reviewed the applications. CCJJ makes final award determinations.

    In FY 2013, two large projects received a second year of continuation funding in an effort to make a positive impact on the selected communities. Both projects are assessed for efficacy by an outside evaluator. Applicants are not guaranteed continuation funding and must apply and compete each year. All projects are limited to three years of funding. The two projects are:

    1. Provo Gang Project: Early Intervention for Gang Involved Youth ($68,425)

      Program provides early intervention services to moderate and high-risk gang-involved youth and their parents residing in Provo. Participants are identified through court-order or through referral by other Provo Gang Project member agencies. Services include: 1) Strengthening Families Program; and 2) Outreach home visits. Strengthening Families is listed as an exemplary program for high-risk youth in the Model Program Guide.

    2. Ogden Weber Community Action Partnership: Community Involvement, Reentry, Opportunities, Social, Suppression ($78,350)

      3. Juvenile Court and Juvenile Justice Services will refer high risk youth involved in gang activity, ages 14-18. A steering committee of community organizations oversees youth at risk and assists in taking intervention measures. CROSS utilizes a research based model, Risk Need Responsivity (RNR), to develop an individualized case management plan. Aggression Replacement Training (ART) and/or Cognitive Behavioral Training (CBT) are provided as a core curriculum. CROSS partners with community agencies to address pro-social involvement, academic achievement, career readiness, and family involvement.

    Monitoring program compliance and activities. Programs are required to submit quarterly progress reports and financial status reports as well as a final report upon program completion. Staff members visit programs on an annual basis to review program files and examine financial documentation. Continuation programs are visited bi-annually. In addition, the University of Utah Criminal Justice Center will be evaluating funded projects to assess program fidelity, adherence to best practices and program outcomes.

    Program: State Asset Forfeiture Grant Program

    Function

    The intent of the State Asset Forfeiture Grant Program (SAFG) is to fund crime prevention and law enforcement activities within specific guidelines. Agencies seizing private property as a result of illegal activities direct these liquidated and forfeited assets to the Criminal Forfeiture Restricted Account (CFRA). Once funds are placed in CFRA, the Legislature may choose to appropriate the funds to CCJJ to be allocated to agencies providing drug interdiction and treatment programs.

    CCJJ has developed a grant program that requires recipient agencies to report back to CCJJ on how the funds were used. CCJJ compiles the data and reports it annually to the Legislature.

    Background

    During the 2004 General Session, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 175, "Protection of Private Lawfully Obtained Property." The bill created the Crime Reduction Assistance Program (CRA).

    During the 2013 General Session the Legislature passed House Bill 384, "Property Disposition Amendments", which renamed the program the State Asset Forfeiture Grant Program.

    Statutory Authority

    Statutory authority for this program is located in UCA 24-4-117, "State Asset Forfeiture Grant Program."

    Performance

    The following three performance measures are workload measures used to administer the State Asset Forfeiture Grant (SAFG) account. They are used to demonstrate project activity resulting from this fund which is appropriated by the Utah Legislature from seized assets to support law enforcement throughout the state.

    This indicates the number of grants awarded by fiscal year from the State Asset Forfeiture Grant (SAFG) program. This measure is a positive indication that CCJJ is fulfilling the statutory requirement of allocating these funds to eligible law enforcement agencies in a timely and consistent manner. The number of grants awarded is commensurate with the number of law enforcement agencies that contributed funding to the state Criminal Forfeiture Restricted Account in each fiscal year.

    CCJJ - CEG 1

    This indicates the amount of funding awarded by CCJJ for each fiscal year from the State Asset Forfeiture Grant (SAFG) program to local law enforcement agencies and drug courts. This measure is a positive indication that CCJJ is fulfilling the statutory requirement of allocating SAFG funding as well as an indicator of the growth and viability of the program funding.

    CCJJ - CEG 2

    This indicates the conviction rate as reported by 17 multi-jurisdictional drug task forces in the state of Utah that are receiving grant funding from the State Asset Forfeiture Grant (SAFG). The number of convictions reported in each fiscal year are divided in to the number of arrests reported (*100) in order to determine the conviction rate percentage.

    Program: Sexual Exploitation of Children

    Function

    During the 2006 General Session, the Legislature passed House Bill 170, "Prosecution and Prevention of Child Pornography Offenses Amendments." Specifically, H.B. 170 amends the duties of CCJJ in Subsection 63M-7-204(13). The bill created a one-time $1 million grant program. This grant money was set aside for approved education programs which help prevent the sexual exploitation of children. In FY2007 the Utah Legislature voted to make the SECP grant an on-going program, and CCJJ is required to administer and allocate the funds.

    Statutory Authority

    Statutory authority for this program is located in UCA 63M-7-204(13).

    Performance

    One grant has been awarded this year to the Utah Education Network (UEN) for the NetSafe Utah program. NetSafe Utah is an internet safety program developed by UEN for kids K-12. It informs children, teachers, and parents on how to safely navigate the internet and other electronic communications.

    Program: Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission

    Function

    The Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission collects and analyzes data on the performance of judges in Utah. The commission uses this information to prepare reports on the performance of judges standing for retention election. Summaries of these reports are published in the voter information pamphlet and on a dedicated website. The commission also makes recommendations on whether judges should be retained.

    Statutory Authority

    The commission is created in UCA 78A-12-201 with 13 members. The requirement to prepare performance evaluations begins with the 2012 judicial retention elections. The commission may consider:

    • The most recent judicial performance survey
    • Compliance with minimum performance standards
    • Courtroom observations
    • The judge's judicial disciplinary record, if any
    • Public comment solicited by the commission
    • Information for an earlier judicial performance evaluation
    • Any other relevant factor the commission establishes by rule

    Performance

    This measure is tied to the statutory goal that requires JPEC to fully evaluate all of the judges standing for retention, beginning with the 2012 general election. The ultimate goal of the commission's work is to fulfill this mandate.

    CCJJ - CEJ 1

    This measure is tied to the statutory goal of making the public aware of the existence of the judicial evaluation reports so that citizens can cast informed votes. JPEC must complete its report early enough to make the information available to the public before the election. Unless the public knows about JPEC's work, it will not have the resources to make informed votes about whether or not to retain judges.

    CCJJ - CEJ 2

    This measure is tied to the statutory goal that mandates that JPEC create a website from which citizens can access judicial evaluation reports prior to a general election. JPEC uses the website as the main portal for disseminating information about judicial performance evaluations to the public. The website must be up and running and kept up-to-date in order to provide the public with relevant information before each general election.
