Foreword

Dear Policymaker:

It is with great pride that the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet releases the 2011 edition of

the Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics in the Commonwealth. As the second largest agency in

state government, the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet continuously works to improve public safety

and the quality of life for the citizens of Kentucky. By providing comprehensive information from all

components of the criminal justice system, the Sourcebook continues to encourage data-driven

decision making to aid effective criminal justice policy development in the 21st century. This report

reflects a unique partnership among criminal justice agencies whose collaborative efforts permit the

presentation of a broad overview of the system. As the data infrastructure in Kentucky’s criminal

justice system continues to improve, we believe the Sourcebook will become an even more effective

tool for meeting critical planning needs and addressing statewide criminal justice policy issues.

In addition to valuable information on crime, arrest, prosecution, correction, and juvenile justice

system trends, the tenth edition of the Sourcebook highlights selected crime categories that are

currently of interest in the criminal justice system. These special topics include drug related offenses

with a particular focus on methamphetamine and prescription drugs, driving under the influence

(DUI) offenses, sex offenses, and domestic violence. Shared information across agencies presented

here allows for a greater understanding of how these crimes are affecting the state.

The following report is organized in a manner that follows traditional movement across the system,

from arrest to prosecution to corrections, and should thus be viewed as a systemic integration of data

sharing and analyses. I encourage you to use this report as a convenient and accessible resource for

criminal justice data. Please contact the Cabinet if you have any questions or need further

information. It is my goal, and that of the Cabinet, for the 2011 Sourcebook to serve as a vital

resource for policymakers, state officials, and the citizens of Kentucky. On behalf of the Kentucky

Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, I would like to express appreciation to the criminal justice agency

personnel and faculty who contributed time and energy to enable the publication of the 2011 edition

of the Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics in the Commonwealth.

J. Michael Brown, Secretary

Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet

Limitations of Current Data and Information Systems

As you review the information contained in the Sourcebook, it is important to keep in mind that data have been drawn from a number of state level criminal justice data collection systems in an attempt to provide a snapshot of crime trends in the Commonwealth. A detailed description of the existing systems can be found in Appendix A. Until these systems are fully integrated into a statewide Unified Criminal Justice Information System, there will remain limitations in the data available for analysis. These and other limitations are delineated below.

As a result of the variation across agencies, it is currently not possible to publish a fully

integrated criminal justice system report or to perform systemic trend analyses. This report is

intended to provide individual snapshots of the key components of the justice system (law

enforcement, courts, corrections, prosecution, and defense), and to draw general conclusions

regarding system trends where possible.

Data collection systems of criminal justice agencies were established independently for in-house

data management purposes and not for planning or policy evaluation.

There are currently no standardized formats for defining data elements or counting criminal

justice events. Agencies vary according to what is being counted (e.g., charges, cases, or

individuals).

While efforts are ongoing to unify the codes used to define each offense presented in the

Sourcebook, differences still exist among agencies. For example, the Kentucky Administrative

Office of the Courts defines robbery offenses using a different set of offense codes than the

Kentucky Department of Corrections. Therefore, readers are cautioned not to compare data

directly across agencies. This report is expected to improve over time as reporting practices

become more consistent. A list of the offense codes used to derive each table or figure can be

provided upon request.

Starting in 2005, in an attempt to further unify the data, all data were requested to be reported

on a calendar year basis, with the exception of fiscal data. This particular change in the

reporting parameters will affect the user’s ability to compare data across previous editions of the

Sourcebook.

Each year, adaptations are made to the Sourcebook in an effort to improve the quality of the

information provided. The methods of reporting and the process of compiling this annual report

are constantly evolving with the end goal to put forth the most accurate data available. As such,

the user’s ability to compare data published in the 2011 edition of the Sourcebook with

previously published editions will be affected.

Calculations, such as percent change, rate per population, etc. were prepared by the Kentucky

Statistical Analysis Center, not the agency providing the original data unless otherwise noted.


14

Several agencies have provided updated data for years prior to 2011. As a result, the data in the

2011 Sourcebook may be different from that which is found in earlier editions of the

Sourcebook. Where possible, the updated data has been included in order to provide the most

accurate data available. Data updates may occur because of changes in the information systems,

changes to the criminal code, and/or retroactive data updates. If such a change has occurred,

where possible, the data has been recalculated for all years presented in the table or figure.

Kentucky currently uses the FBI’s Summary Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR) and

National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) to collect data. The UCR is a nationwide,

cooperative statistical effort of more than 18,000 city, county, college and university, state, tribal

and federal agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes. These agencies represent 99.3% of the

nation’s total population. The NIBRS includes information on Group A and Group B offenses.

Group A crimes consist of more serious offenses such as Homicide Robbery, and Arson, while

Group B crimes consist of less severe offenses.

In an effort to improve the quality of the Kentucky State Police’s annual Crime in Kentucky

reports, several adaptations were made in 1998 to data reporting that have continued through

2011. These changes, which include transitioning from Part I and Part II offenses to Group A

and Group B crimes, are in accordance with UCR guidelines. These changes will affect the

user’s ability to compare data published in the 2011 report with previously published data.

The following disclaimer has been issued by the Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts

and applies to all data within the Sourcebook that is attributed to that agency: “Information

received from COURTNET is subject to change(s), reprogramming, modification(s) of format

and availability at the direction of the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), and may not

at any particular moment reflect the true status of court cases due to ordinary limitation(s),

delay(s) or error(s) in the system’s operation. The AOC disclaims any warranties as to the

validity of the information obtained from COURTNET. The recipient is solely responsible for

verifying information received from COURTNET through the cross-referencing of official court

records. The AOC shall not be liable to the recipient, or to any third party using the system or

information obtained therefrom, for any damages whatsoever arising out of the use of

COURTNET.” Detailed limitations pertaining to Administrative Office of the Courts data is

provided in Appendix D.

The U.S. Census Bureau collects population and demographic data on a ten-year cycle. In the

years between the decennial census, population estimates are created based on continuously

collected data. As a result, information which makes use of U.S. Census Bureau data for the

intervening years utilizes the estimated population numbers and is noted as such.

Section I: Kentucky’s Demographic Profile

Having a firm grasp on the demographic trends and realities facing Kentucky provides a basis for

creating effective policies, especially when changes represent a potentially significant impact on the

day-to-day operations of the criminal justice system. The first section of the 2011 Edition of the

Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics in the Commonwealth provides necessary background

information for the reader regarding the demographic profile of Kentucky.

Information provided within this section stems from the United States Census Bureau’s 2010 Census,

the Small Area Population Estimates Division, and the American Community Survey (ACS), which

provides population, demographic, and housing unit estimates for communities throughout the

nation. ACS data, which is collected every year, provides up to date information about the

population at the local community level and serves as a critical element of the decennial census

program. About three million housing units from across the nation participate in the ACS annually,

and provide critical demographic information about the population including age, race, ethnicity,

income, veteran status, housing location and cost, and other economic and social indicators which

help to provide an understanding of the population’s characteristics. Likewise, since ACS data is

collected annually, this mechanism allows conclusions and estimates to be provided for geographic

locations with populations of less than 20,000 individuals.

The findings from the U.S. Census 2011 ACS are provided below:

Kentucky’s total population was estimated to be over 4.36 million- About 2.2 million (50.8%)

were females. About 23.2% of the population was under age 18, and about 14.0% were over

age 65.

For people reporting only one race about 87.8%, or more than 3.8 million were white, 7.9%,

or 344,584 were African American, 1.3%, or 55,397 were Asian/Pacific Islander, and about

0.20%, or 8,141, were American Indian/Alaska Native. More than 38,316 (0.9%) reported

their race as “Other” and more than 87,200 identified two or more races (about 2.0%).

There were over 1.707 million occupied households in Kentucky, with an average size of 2.56

people per house. The median income in 2011 was $41,724.

More than 4.243 million Kentucky residents (96.2%) were born in the United States, and of

these, over 3.05 million (69.8%) were native born Kentuckians. Approximately 87,030 (1.9%)

of Kentucky’s 4.38 million residents are not Naturalized U.S. Citizens.

Among those people who were at least 5 years of age, approximately 4.10 million, 3.90

million, or (95.1%) spoke only English within their homes. Of those 199,467 who spoke a

language other than English, 51.6% or 102,993 spoke Spanish.


16

Of those more than 2.9 million Kentucky residents aged 25 or more, almost 84% of these have

at least a high school diploma and approximately 26.0% have a Bachelor’s Degree or higher.

Of the more than 3.47 million Kentucky residents aged 16 years or older, 2.07 million (59.8%)

were in the workplace. The leading industries in Kentucky are Educational and Health Care

Services and Social Assistance (24.4%), Manufacturing (13.6%), and Retail Trade (11.9%).

The most common occupations among Kentucky workers were Management, Business,

Science, and Arts Occupations (32.3%), Sales and Office Occupations (24.5%), Service

Occupations (16.7%), and Production, Transportation, and Material Moving Occupations

(16.7%). 78.7% of the Kentucky workforce is employed for private wages, 15.5% are

Government Workers, and 5.6% are Self-Employed. The remaining 0.2% are Unpaid Family

Workers.

Within the past 12 months, 14.8% of all Kentucky Families have had incomes which were

below the Federal Poverty Level. 23.4% of those families with children under age 18 met this

guideline, as did 26.8% of those with children under age 5. 40.2% of families with a Single

Female Head of Household had incomes below the Federal Poverty Level, as have 12.3% of

individuals 65 years or older. In households made up of unrelated individuals 15 years or age

or older, 33.5% have had incomes below Federal Poverty Guidelines during this period.

Kentucky had almost 1.94 million housing units, and 88.1% were occupied. 67.0% of the

more than 1.70 million occupied units were owner-occupied, with the remaining 562,695

(33.0%) being occupied by renters. The mean number of residents in owner occupied units

was 2.56 persons, and in rental units, this number was 2.36 persons. More than 7.7% of

those occupied units did not have access to private automobiles as a means of transportation,

0.4% lacked complete plumbing facilities, 0.7% lacked complete kitchen facilities, and 3.2%

lack any type of telephone services.

Section II: Victim Services

Kentucky has established many successful programs to provide services and aid to victims of crime, an important

element of the criminal justice system. Data selected for this section was provided by V.I.N.E., the Crime Victims

Compensation Board, the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, the Office of the Attorney General, Kentucky

Association of Sexual Assault Programs, and Kentucky Domestic Violence Association.


29

V.I.N.E.

The Office of Victim Services is the arm of the Kentucky Department of Corrections that provides victims with an

automatic notification system to alert them about a change in the custody status of their offender. The system is

known as Victim Information and Notification Everyday (V.I.N.E.).

The nation’s first automated victim notification system was created in Jefferson County, Kentucky, in December,

1994. Like many progressive acts, a tragedy was the impetus for the establishment of the V.I.N.E. system. In 1993,

Mary Byron was murdered by her estranged boyfriend after he was released from the Jefferson County Jail. Byron

was not notified of his release. Byron’s parents, Pat and John Byron, led a crusade to ensure that their daughter’s

death would not be in vain. As a result of their efforts, software engineers developed the V.I.N.E. system and

implemented it at the Jefferson County Jail. In 1996, Kentucky again led the way, becoming the first state in the

nation to provide victim notification on a statewide basis. Today more than 2,100 communities have implemented

the V.I.N.E. system. More than two-thirds of the states have established statewide notification through V.I.N.E. The

federal government also offers a victim notification service and funds supportive grants (e.g. Statewide Automated

Victim Information and Notification (SAVIN)). Nationally, V.I.N.E. generates approximately 700,000 notification

calls each month.

The V.I.N.E. system receives booking and release data from all county jails and Kentucky Department of Corrections

institutions. Victims can obtain information about an offender’s location, custody status, sentence expiration date,

and scheduled parole-hearing date. The victim can also register to be notified of changes in an offender’s custody

status. Information can be obtained by calling a toll free number, by calling the Office of Victim Services, via e-mail,

or via the Internet through VINELink. The service is available 24 hours a day. Whenever possible, the system

provides notification of an offender’s release 72 hours prior to the release. In order to ensure that victims receive

notification in a timely manner, V.I.N.E. will call the registered telephone number every 30 minutes during a 24

hour time period of until the call is acknowledged by the registered person.

The following information was obtained from the Kentucky Department of Corrections’ Office of Victim Services:

Of the searches for offenders through the V.I.N.E. program in 2011, 5.5% were conducted via VINEwatch,

about 26.2% were conducted via telephone, and 68.4% were conducted via VINELink.

In 2011, V.I.N.E. reported a total of 314,767 victim information and registration calls into the call center and

925,455 notification calls issued by the call center.

There were 53,167 new V.I.N.E. registrations in 2011, up from 45,073 in 2010 and 45,477 in 2009.

Crime Victim’s Compensation Board

The Crime Victims Compensation Board, assisting more than 1,000 victims of violent crime per year, was enacted in

1974 and established by the Kentucky General Assembly in 1976, the 14th state to do so. The office opened in 1978

with the purpose of compensating victims for whom violent crime has resulted in financial hardship due to physical

or psychological injury or death. In situations where there is no other source of payment, the board determines

claimant eligibility and award amounts for qualifying expenses incurred as a result of violent crime, including

medical, funeral, mental health counseling, dental, and corrective lens expenses resulting from the crime, as well as

lost wages or loss of support for someone dependent on the victim. When qualifying claimants are awarded,

payments are made directly to service providers or can be reimbursements to the claimant. State law caps the awards

at $25,000 for each claim. The CVCB also administers a program which pays for sexual assault forensic/medical exams

(SAEs) for both adults and children. These claims are applied for and paid directly to the service providers. CVCB

Funds are provided through federal grants, offender-paid court fees, donations, and a $200,000 General Fund

allotment for SAE’s. The governor-appointed, five-member board operates under Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS)

346 and 216B, and Kentucky Administrative Regulations (KAR) Title 107. Each board member’s term is four years.

The Board, which must include a victim, is intended to include representation from throughout the state.

The following information was received from the Crime Victim’s Compensation Board:

The CVCB granted awards on 1,088 claims in fiscal year 2011, resulting in almost $1.3 million being

distributed to victims of violent crime. 276 claims were for compensation, and 812 were for sexual assault

forensic/medical exams.

Section III: Reported Crime Trends

The data in this section includes information gathered from the Kentucky State Police as well as the Federal Bureau

of Investigation’s (FBI) National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS). In 2011 the information gathered

changed from the previously collected Part One and Part Two offenses that were a part of the FBI’s Uniform Crime

Reports to Group A and Group B offenses that make up part of the FBI’s NIBRS database. For this reason, it is not

possible to compare reports from previous years to the 2011 data. Information about the Part One and Part Two

crimes as well as those that make up the Group A and Group B offenses is available in Appendix B.

Although law enforcement agencies collect and maintain data on both arrests and offenses reported to the police,

researchers generally agree that reported offenses provide a better measure of crime since these reports usually occur

closer in time to the actual incidents. While arrests also provide a measure of law enforcement activity, arrests may

not be made in all cases and arrests may also reflect specialized enforcement efforts rather than an actual increase in

along with the inherent limitations of that data.

Section V: Pretrial Release Trends

Section V presents data on the types of pretrial release used in the Commonwealth, as provided by the Kentucky

Administrative Office of the Courts’ (AOC), Department of Pretrial Services. The information reported in this

section was obtained from the Pretrial Release Information Management (PRIM) System. Appendix D provides

detailed information on the limitations of the data included in this section.

In 2011, AOC’s Pretrial Services processed 184,691 individuals. 134,737 (73.0%) of the individuals were

males, and 49,331 (26.7%) were females. The remaining 623 individuals (<1%) involved persons of unknown

or unreported gender.

In 2011, there were 139,977 cases in which the judge set a financial bail amount. In these cases, 76,842

(54.9%), defendants were able to obtain pretrial release and in the remaining 63,135 (45.1%) defendants were

still in custody or unable to obtain pretrial release.

There were 96,555 cases in which the judge allowed release on recognizance or set another type of non-

financial bail such as a surety or unsecured bond. In these cases, 94,455 (97.8%) were able to obtain pretrial

release.

AOC’s Pretrial Services conducts a thorough investigation and utilizes a risk assessment on all defendants

interviewed. In 2011, 80,957 defendants were assessed as low-risk, 74,872 assessed as moderate risk, and

17,370 assessed as high-risk. The release rate for low-risk defendants was 81%, 65% for moderate risk, and

53% for high-risk.

Section VIII: Commitment and Release Trends

Section VIII presents information from the Kentucky Department of Corrections (DOC) on prison admissions,

commitments, sentences, and releases for Part I offenses, and from the Parole Board on hearings, paroles, deferrals,

and serve-outs.

In 2011, the average daily inmate population ranged from a low of 296 at the Bell County Forestry Camp to a

high of 1,896 at the Kentucky State Reformatory.

The total number of persons under DOC supervision increased from 62,305 in 2010 to 63,148 in 2011. The

inmate population increased from 20,580 in 2010 to 21,704 in 2011, and the probation and parole population

was down 0.6% from 41,725 in 2010 to 41,444 in 2011.

In 2011, 64.7% of prison admissions were new commitments and the remaining 35.3% were returning parole

violators.

In 2011, the average sentence for specified Group A offenses ranged from a high of 24 years for Murder to a

low of 8 years for Burglary and Auto Theft. The average sentence for all specified Group A offenses was

14.13 years, with an average of 18.25 years for Violent Offenses and 10 years for Property Offenses.

The number of new commitments for Rape, Larceny/Theft, and Arson all decreased between 2010 and 2011.

During this same time period, the number of new commitments for Auto Theft, Robbery, Aggravated

Assault, Murder, and Burglary increased.

In 2011, 51.1% of those cases considered by the Kentucky Parole Board were granted parole.

Section IX: Juvenile Justice System Trends

This section presents information on offenders served by the juvenile justice system. Data that are presented here are

drawn from the Kentucky State Police, the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice, and the Kentucky

Administrative Office of the Courts’ Court Designated Worker program.

In 2011, the number of juvenile offenses increased to 11,755 up 2.1% from 11,523 in CY 2010.

A total of 4,068 youth were served by the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice in 2011, down from 4,232

in 2010. The number of juveniles served by the Department of Juvenile Justice has consistently declined

since 2006, with the difference between 2007 and 2011 being 25.8%.

More youth served by the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice were placed under Community

Supervision (2,679) than in any other type of placement. Likewise, 58.9% of the juveniles committed or

probated to the Department of Juvenile Justice received a sentence of probation with the remaining 41.1%

committed to DJJ facilities.

The recidivism rate for all Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice youth (committed and probated) was

7.04% in 2011.

In 2011, 28,596 complaints were processed against 21,534 juveniles by the Kentucky Administrative Office of

the Courts’ Court Designated Workers program. 10,008 complaints were processed against 8,590 juveniles

for Group A offenses during that time.

Court Designated Worker Program

In 1986, the Kentucky General Assembly enacted legislation to provide a statewide Court Designated Worker (CDW)

program under the direction of the Department of Juvenile Services of the Administrative Office of the Courts, the

administrative arm of the Kentucky Court of Justice. The mission of the CDW program is to reduce delinquency

among Kentucky’s youth through a collaboration of statewide pre-court services and programs that promote

education and accountability. CDWs process juvenile complaints against individuals under the age of 18. The

complaints, known as public offenses, are the same as adult crimes. Status offenses are non-criminal forms of

juvenile behavior, such as running away from home, skipping class, tobacco offenses, or exhibiting beyond-control

behaviors at home or school.

Each of Kentucky’s 120 counties has access to the services of a CDW who is available 24 hours a day, seven days a

week. A set of uniform criteria determine which juvenile complaints must be forwarded to formal court and which

are eligible for informal processing through the CDW program. More serious offenses and repeat offenders are

referred to formal court. Juveniles involved in minor offenses are generally eligible for informal processing and enter

diversion agreements. A diversion agreement is a voluntary contract between the CDW and the juvenile to resolve a

complaint. The data included in this section were provided by the Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts.

Limitations of this data are provided in Appendix D.

Methamphetamine Related Offenses

In 2005, Kentucky adopted legislation that restricts the sale of products containing pseudoephedrine (PSE) and

ephedrine, ingredients used to manufacture methamphetamine. In 2007, Kentucky became the second state to

implement a real-time statewide electronic monitoring system capable of blocking the sale of PSE products to

individuals in violation of purchasing more than 9 grams in 30 days (KRS 218A.1446). The program, MethCheck,

provides 24/7 access to law enforcement officers conducting investigations on individuals suspected of violations of

PSE restrictions. In 2011 the system blocked the purchase of 32,259 boxes of pseudoephedrine, resulting in 78,195

grams of PSE being kept out of the hands of potential methamphetamine cooks. MethCheck is a partnership

between the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Professional Standards Branch, the Cabinet for Health and Family

Services, and the Kentucky Office of Drug Control Policy.

To illustrate the incidence of methamphetamine manufacturing, trafficking, and abuse in the Commonwealth, this

section presents data from the Kentucky State Police, the Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts, and the

Kentucky Department of Corrections.

Kentucky State Police reported 3,346 methamphetamine related offenses in 2011, down from 4,389 in 2010, a

decrease of 23.7%.

During 2011, 1,233 law enforcement officers responded to clandestine methamphetamine lab incidents. This

is a 14.4% increase from 1,078 incidents responded to in 2010.

In 2011, there were 3,423 methamphetamine related cases in Circuit Court, 3,536 cases in District Court, and

13 cases in Juvenile Court.

The total number of methamphetamine related charges disposed in Circuit Court rose from 4,867 in 2010 to

6,300 in 2011. In District Court, the number of charges rose from 4,713 in 2010 to 5,115 in 2011, an increase

of 8.6%.

In 2011, the average sentence imposed for methamphetamine related offenses was 11 years.

The Kentucky Department of Corrections reported 776 new commitments for methamphetamine offenses in

2011, up from 636 in 2010.

Prescription Drug Related Offenses

Misuse, abuse, and illegal sale of prescription drugs represent a significant threat to public health and safety in the

Commonwealth of Kentucky. Illegal prescription drug activity has reached epidemic proportions, with more and

more incidents of “doctor shopping” being uncovered and the street values of “legal drugs” reaching all-time highs.

The Kentucky All Schedule Prescription Electronic Reporting (KASPER) system is Kentucky’s Prescription Drug

Monitoring Program (PDMP). PDMP’s vary in their characteristics, but they all have a common goal of reducing

prescription drug abuse and diversion. KASPER is one of the most comprehensive PDMP’s in the country. The

system catalogs schedule II-V controlled substance prescriptions dispensed within the state (Hydrocodone,

Oxycodone, Methadone, Alprazolam, Tramadol, Buprenorphine, Suboxone, and Diazepam), and provides a tool for

practitioners, pharmacists, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies to improve patient safety and fight the abuse

and diversion of controlled substance prescription medications.

KASPER is housed in the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Office of the Inspector General, with the

maintenance and enhancements to the system provided by the Cabinet’s Office of Administrative and Technology

Services. Kentucky statutes require dispensers of controlled substances to report the prescriptions dispensed once

every seven days. The data are then available to authorized users of the system, who may be prescribers for medical

treatment of a patient, dispensers for pharmaceutical treatment of a patient, law enforcement officers for an active

drug related investigation, licensing boards for a licensee, the Kentucky Medicaid program for a Medicaid member or

provider, a grand jury (by subpoena), or a judge or probation or parole office administering a drug diversion or

probation program.

A KASPER report shows the controlled substance prescriptions a patient received for a specified time period, as well

as the practitioner who prescribed them and the dispenser who dispensed them. Kentucky Revised Statute 218A.240

provides that the Cabinet shall use the data for investigations, research, statistical analysis and educational purposes,

and shall proactively identify trends in controlled substance usage and other potential problem areas.

This section includes data on prescription drug activity in the Commonwealth as collected by the Kentucky State

Police, Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts, Kentucky Department of Corrections, Kentucky Department

of Juvenile Justice, and KASPER.

In 2011, there were 1,323 prescription drug related cases in Circuit Court, 5,202 in District Court, and 91

cases in Juvenile Court.

There were 72 new prescription drug related commitments to the Department of Corrections in 2011. The

average prison sentence for prescription drug related offenses in 2011 was 7 years.

In 2011, KASPER records demonstrate that Kentucky’s population received 152.1 doses per capita of

controlled substance prescriptions.

Domestic Violence Offenses

In 2010, a total of 3,835 domestic violence cases were disposed in Kentucky’s Courts of Law. 150 of these

cases in Circuit Court, 3,682 in District Court, and the remaining 3 in Juvenile Court.

Of the 3,682 domestic violence cases disposed in District Courts during 2010, the largest number, 565, were

heard in the Twenty-First Judicial District (Bath, Menifee, Rowan, and Montgomery Counties). Two judicial

districts, the Second (McCracken County) and the Thirty-First (Floyd County) disposed no cases, and the

Thirty-Sixth Judicial District (Knott and Magoffin Counties) disposed only one domestic violence case.

Of those domestic violence cases disposed in District Court, nearly 53.3% (1,964) resulted in a conviction.

This is true for 56.6% (85) of the domestic violence cases disposed in Circuit Court, and 33.3% (1) of those in

juvenile court.

Section XI: Key Criminal Justice Cost Information

While monitoring changes in crime trends, it is also important to track the range of costs associated with

incarceration, community supervision, and criminal justice programs for adults and juveniles. This section includes

data from the Kentucky Department of Corrections, Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice, and the Justice and

Public Safety Cabinet’s Grants Management Branch.

In FY 2011, Kentucky’s criminal justice agencies enacted budgets totaling $908,506,724.00.

Approximately 32.3% of the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet’s annual budget goes towards the operation of

adult correctional institutions, 20.9% funds Kentucky State Police activities, and 17.2% funds community

services and local facilities.

Kentucky’s criminal justice budget includes over $33 million in grant funding administered by the Cabinet’s

agencies including, among others, Justice Assistance Grants, Violence against Women Act funding, Victims

of Crime Act funds, and Title II and Title V funds from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency

Prevention.

What are the differences between Groups A, Group B Offenses, Part One, and Part Two Crimes?

Group A and Group B offenses are collected as part of the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) and are

reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. NIBRS is a system that collects incident-based data for a variety of

offenses. Part One and Part Two crimes are summary measures which are also reported to the Federal Bureau of

Investigation as a part of the Uniform Crime Reporting System. The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) does not

distinguish between crimes that are attempted and those which are completed. In those situations in which there is

more than one criminal offense, the UCR reports only the most serious while NIBRS accounts for each of the offenses

involved in a criminal incident. The UCR originally included two basic categories: Crimes against Persons and

Crimes against Property. NIBRS adds a third category: Crimes against Society. Information is entered into the

NIBRS system electronically while cases are submitted as written documents that are then hand entered into the

UCR computer system. NIBRS collects information that is not a part of the UCR including details on the offense,

victim, offender, and arrestee among others.

In the Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics in the Commonwealth many of the charts and tables have been

revised from those which include summary data from the UCR to incident based reporting from the NIBRS system.

As a result, some of the year-to-year comparisons of crime measures could not be included in the 2011 edition. The

Kentucky Statistical Analysis Center is particularly grateful to the staff of the Kentucky Administrative Office of the

Courts for the provision of multi-year data; however. This was possible because information is captured in the AOC

reporting systems using Uniform Offense Report (UOR) codes, and involves those cases, charges, and documents filed

within the court system(s) throughout the Commonwealth. This differs from the data provided from the Kentucky

State Police and other law enforcement entities in which tracking specifically involved either incident or summary

based reporting mechanisms. As such, the data cannot be amended based upon what the entity would have

submitted using the alternate method of tracking. Although some offenses appear to be relatively comparable

regardless of the method being used, there are no easy data extraction methods that would allow us to extrapolate

from one reporting system to another. Future editions of the Sourcebook will begin to allow us to engage in year-to-

year tracking and comparison since future editions will rely upon incident based data gathered by law enforcement

agencies throughout the Commonwealth.


341

Appendix C: Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts Data Limitations

The Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts provided the Kentucky Statistical Analysis Center with the

following detailed information on the limitations of the data presented in the 2011 Sourcebook of Criminal Justice

Statistics.

Data obtained from the KYCourts/CourtNet database presented in Sections VI, VII, X is subject to the following

limitations:

The data obtained from KYCourts/CourtNet database is aggregate data that can be filtered based upon multiple

features. These features include the frequency of cases filed, cases disposed, cases convicted, and some sentencing

information. Frequencies can be obtained by referring to a case filing date, case disposition, charge filing date, or

charge disposition date. The data can be broken down as a statewide figure or on a county-by-county basis. Some

cases may have multiple charges, which would result in multiple dispositions as dispositions are by charge and not by

case; this would also affect the filing and disposition dates. Charge counts may include original and amended

charges; this is where the distinct count is important, as it will only allow the case to be counted once despite

multiple charges or amendments to charges. Additionally, some individuals may have multiple cases; therefore,

distinct case counts cannot be inferred as a distinct count of individuals.

When examining case disposition data all disposition types will be included. However, when examining conviction

data only those cases that include a disposition type that is indicative of guilt will be included. A case may consist of

one or more charges; however, for a case to be considered a conviction, only one charge within the case must be

guilty. Dispositions that are indicative of guilt include: guilty, guilty – multiple counts, guilty – sealed sentence,

and/or pre-payable citation – paid. There are also three disposition types that are unique to juvenile cases which are

also considered a conviction; those are Other, Cabinet of Human Resources (CHR), and Department of Juvenile

Justice (DJJ).

Dispositions in a case are based upon individual charges, since some cases may have multiple charges there can be

multiple dispositions. An example would be to have a case with three charges, for which one charge was given a

disposition of commitment of juvenile to DJJ (Department of Juvenile Justice), while the other two charges were

handled via an informal judgment. Therefore, the number of dispositions will be greater than the number of cases.

Some dispositions, such as amended, will cause the case to appear in multiple categories of disposition, jurisdiction,

and/or charge. In instances where a case is amended up or indicted from District Court to Circuit Court the case

number will change. Therefore, the case would be counted twice, once under each court type. Nevertheless, within

each court type, a distinct count of cases is provided that will count the case only once per disposition type, allowing

for elimination of duplication.

Sentence information is much like dispositions; sentences are based upon the charge not the case. Since a case may

contain multiple charges, and multiple dispositions, there may also be multiple sentences. These sentences may run

consecutively to each other or they may run concurrent to each other. The length of an individual’s sentence is

broken down into months; due to each charge having its own sentence, this data is presented as a cumulative figure

and does not discern between those sentences that are consecutive versus concurrent. The sentence information

provided is merely cumulative sentenced time; additionally, those sentencing conditions of “probated/conditionally

discharged/suspended” are also presented as cumulative time. There is a check box on the sentence screen to denote


342

whether the time is concurrent and/or consecutive to other charges/cases, however, AOC does not capture which

charges/case that it is concurrent and/or consecutive to.

For juvenile cases that are given diversion; the original disposition would be diversion; however, if the juvenile fails

to complete the diversion a new disposition is entered of guilty. The original disposition should be removed from the

sentence screen and the new disposition entered; however, there may be some cases in which this is not done.

Similar scenarios can occur in cases against adults as well. When an individual is convicted and given a sentence of

prison but then given a diversion program and the sentence probated in lieu of actually having to serve time, two

separate scenarios can occur. If the diversion is successfully completed the case is no longer counted in the frequency

of convictions; however, the sentence of prison is never removed from the KYCourts/CourtNet database and is,

therefore, still counted in the prison frequency. When this happens, the cases with a sentence of prison can

outnumber the cases convicted and cause the prison disposition rate to be reflected as over 100 percent. If the

diversion is not completed, the disposition in the case is amended to reflect a disposition of guilty and the sentencing

information remains unchanged.

Additionally, some jail and prison terms may have some or all of the term suspended. In that event, a defendant is

granted shock probation that is then tracked in the KYCourts/CourtNet database through the use of additional UOR

codes. In the event that a defendant violates the terms of their probation, a new sentence is entered that is then tied

to the new offense of probation violation. A small percentage of offenders each year are ordered by the court to

attend Alcohol & Drug Education (ADE) or other types of treatment, with this frequency continuing to decline with

the passing of each calendar year.

Court of Appeals data is obtained from the appellate Court and is not housed at the Administrative Office of the

Courts. Appeals Court data is current as of January 31, 2014.

Data obtained from the PRIM (Pretrial Release Information Management) System presented in Section V of the

Sourcebook is subject to the following limitations:

The data contained herein only applies to pretrial defendants that have not been sentenced and does not include

those that are serving a jail sentence or awaiting transport from the Kentucky Department of Corrections (DOC).

Therefore, when comparing the frequency of cases that are attended by pretrial officers to the frequency of cases

filed in the KYCourts/CourtNet database, the frequency of cases in pretrial will be smaller in proportion. Some

individuals who go to jail are released prior to being seen by a pretrial officer; the reasons for their release can be

widely varied.

There are four classifications of felony (A, B, C, & D) and two classifications of misdemeanor (A & B); whereas

criminal violations and traffic violations do not have a classification breakdown and are listed only as an X under

either ‘other’ or ‘violation’. Both felony and misdemeanor classifications have an ‘other’ category. A few outliers

exist in both the felony and misdemeanor offenses, with a few individuals classification being listed as X. This can

occur in felony cases for a few reasons; the first is if the individual is a persistent felony offender (PFO), if an obsolete

offense code was utilized, if it was a probation violation, or a contempt of court charge. In the case of a PFO or a

probation violation, these are normally classified as class C felony; whether it appears in the database as a class C or a

class X is dependent upon either how the pretrial officer entered it or how the clerk entered the case into the

KYCourts database. For misdemeanors that are classified as an X those are usually due to the offense being a local

ordinance, a contempt of court charge, or a probation violation. In the event that it is a probation violation, it should

actually be listed as a class A misdemeanor and has simply been incorrectly coded.


343

Data is limited to only those counties that have a jail; some neighboring counties utilize the same jail facility in one

central location such as Boyle and Mercer Counties. Mercer County does not have its own jail therefore those who

offend in Mercer County are taken to the Boyle County Detention Center. Other counties around the state work in

similar fashion. Therefore, for pretrial purposes individuals are listed based upon the holding county and not the

county in which they were charged.

Pretrial officers work to determine a defendant’s risk level. These levels are low, moderate, or high, and are

determined using a validated objective risk assessment that measures both flight and anticipated criminal conduct.

There are some cases in which the individual was ineligible or not verified; this is determined on a case-by-case basis.

For calendar year 2011, Pretrial Services determined a public safety rate of 90%. This was determined by defendants

who were not arrested or cited for a new criminal offense while on pretrial release.

Data obtained from the Court Designated Worker Case Management System (CDWCMS) presented in Section IX is

subject to the following limitations:

The CDWCMS system was developed to ensure the Court Designated Worker’s (CDW) job was conducted more

efficiently by allowing them to track and monitor juvenile complaints and diversion agreements. Data obtained from

the CDWCMS system is broken down to list the number of charges, the number of referrals, and a distinct count of

juveniles. An individual can have multiple charges within one referral and an individual can also have multiple

referrals. It is important to understand that some of the cases that were filed or closed during one calendar year (CY)

may have originated during the previous calendar year; and, there are also some cases that have been filed during the

present calendar year that may not be closed until sometime during the following calendar year. Due to the nature

of many of the cases, there are limitations to the data presented here. There is no clear way to know where potential

overlaps may have occurred which may have increased the frequencies. For this reason, distinct counts of referrals

and juveniles are provided to counter any potential inflation of the frequencies.

All juvenile complaints, including status offenses, are referred to the local Court Designated Workers’ (CDW) office.

In general, a referral is closed by the CDW with one of four categories: formal court, informal diversions, dismissals,

and other. Within the formal court category there are four subfields: county attorney requested, judge requested,

CDW referred (complaint was ineligible for diversion), and court generated charges. The court-generated charges

are a charge before the court that has not been processed via the CDW office, which typically means that the charge

is contempt of court or a probation violation. Informal diversions can be categorized as either successful or

unsuccessful; similarly, dismissals also contain only two subfields: county attorney requested and no probable cause.

Those classified as child requested formal and child failed to appear at preliminary interview will typically be

counted as a formal court procedure.


344

Appendix D: Human Trafficking Data Limitations

The Human Trafficking data presented in Section X is subject to the following limitations:

Because there are no mandatory reporting guidelines for human trafficking cases, no one organization or agency

serves as a repository to document or track these cases throughout the Commonwealth. The information provided in

the Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics in the Commonwealth was collected by Kentucky Rescue and Restore.

It is based upon those individuals directly served by the agency as well as media reports and the charge and

indictment information collected by the Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts. As a result, the data only

captures a portion of the human trafficking cases that occurred within Kentucky during 2011, particularly since

many of these cases and victims will never be identified.

The data for child victims includes information from victim disclosures about when their trafficking experience

began. Some of those who were originally trafficked as children were not identified, rescued, or able to escape until

their adulthood. Those reported as foreign nationals include those individuals who were born in another country

and are not yet naturalized citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States. The data for U.S. Citizens

may include individuals who were born in other countries but are now lawful permanent residents or naturalized

citizens of the United States as well as those who were born and raised in the United States. Some of these

individuals may possess dual citizenship, but this data has not been collected at this time.

The reported cases include only those individuals trafficked within the Commonwealth of Kentucky at some point,

either through initial recruitment or through final exploitation. The data does not include the number of trafficking

victims who may have moved to Kentucky after being trafficked in other locations.
