The two-year project seeks to achieve data-driven, evidence-based prosecution and sentencing
April 9, 2021 at 2:00pm
Florida International University and Loyola University Chicago recently added state attorneys’ offices in Broward County and Orange and Osceola counties (Orlando area) to their network of nationally recognized prosecutors using data to gauge effectiveness, efficiency and fairness in prosecution.
Participants in the Prosecutorial Performance Indicators (PPI) project commit to increasing transparency and accountability by objectively measuring and analyzing prosecutorial practices. Key indicators include increasing timely handling of cases, reducing racial and ethnic disparities, and expanding community outreach and engagement.
With Broward and Orlando area joining prosecutors in Jacksonville and Tampa, the project now includes four prosecutor’s offices in Florida.
