In May, CJI continued working with Utah DOC on the gap analysis project. CJI submitted a data request for data necessary to start the gap analysis project in May and is awaiting receipt of that data. CJI also held calls with DOC staff to discuss the gap analysis project.
CJI received the data necessary to begin the gap analysis work in October, but once the data had been initially cleaned several critical problems with the data pull emerged. CJI worked with Department of Correction (DOC) data staff on the errors, and DOC sent CJI a new data set in late November. CJI is currently working on cleaning and analyzing the new data set.
In January CJI continued to work on cleaning and analyzing data for the gap analysis project, as well as working with UT DOC officials to gather information on current programming availability, to match treatment needs with treatment availability.
In February and March, CJI obtained data from UT about their treatment needs, and began to clean and analyze the data. CJI also compiled data about DOC's programming, and investigated the various treatment programs offered to discover which are evidence-based practices. CJI will present the results of this gap analysis to Utah DOC at the end of April.
In April, analyzed and compared information about the treatment programs offered by DOC and data about the criminogenic treatment needs of those under DOC's care to discover any areas where the treatment needs of DOC’s population were not being met by the available programming. CJI presented the results of the analysis to DOC stakeholders in April. DOC leadership had been curious about this gap between treatment need and programming, so were excited to see the results of CJI’s analysis, and begin talking about how to ensure more of the programming that is offered is truly evidence-based and how otherwise to increase the amount of available evidence-based programming, particularly in those regions where the gap is biggest.
In May, CJI developed an Excel template DOC can use to generate their own gap analysis, and keep track of changes in program offering and population levels.
