New York State and the FBI use seven Index crime categories as indicators of overall crime trends: murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, which are classified as violent crimes; and the property crimes of burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft. The FBI created these categories to allow for uniform crime reporting across all 50 states.

Police departments and sheriffs’ offices report these data to the state.

These individuals may or may not live together at the time of the incident.

Police agencies in counties outside New York City report these data for the following offense categories: aggravated assault, simple assault, sex offenses, and violation of protective orders. The New York City Police Department reports these data for the following offense categories: felony assault, third-degree assault and related offenses, and violation of protective orders.

New York State provides funding, training and technical support to 28 police agencies and their law enforcement partners in 21 counties through the Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE) initiative, which aims to reduce shootings, shooting deaths, and firearm-related violent crimes.

GIVE agencies are required to report shooting incidents involving injuries, the number of individuals shot, and the number of individuals killed by gun violence to DCJS. Those agencies are divided into two tiers:

• Tier I agencies focus on reducing the number of shootings and shooting fatalities: Albany, Buffalo, Hempstead, Mount Vernon, Nassau County, Newburgh, Niagara Falls, Poughkeepsie, Rochester, Schenectady, Suffolk County, Syracuse, Troy, Utica, and Yonkers.
• Tier II agencies focus on reducing firearm-related violent crimes (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault): Amherst, Auburn, Binghamton, Cheektowaga, Elmira, Greece, Ithaca, Jamestown, Kingston, Lackawanna, Middletown, Spring Valley, and Watertown.

State law requires the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and the Office of Court Administration (OCA) to provide information to the public that details pretrial release decisions made by judges upon arraignment, including release on recognizance, bail, or non-monetary conditions, as well as remand to custody.

DCJS and OCA coordinated and compiled one comprehensive data file to meet the statutory reporting obligations because neither agency maintains all the data necessary to fulfill the requirements under the bail reform law. Data within the file include the sex, race, and ethnicity of the individual arrested; the most serious arrest charge; the number and type of charges the individual has faced previously; and if the individual failed to appear in court or was re-arrested while the case was pending, among other data. The information provided does not identify the individuals charged.

Adults Required to Register by Risk Level (11/1/2024)

State law sets three risk levels, which are determined by a judge after a court hearing: Level 1 (low risk of repeat offense), Level 2 (moderate risk of repeat offense) and Level 3 (high risk of repeat offense). A designation of P (pending) means that a judge has not yet determined risk level. Any questions about these data should be directed to pressinfo@dcjs.ny.gov.

A sentence to probation allows individuals convicted of crimes to remain in the community under conditions mandated by the court and monitored by probation departments in 57 counties and New York City. Judges also may impose a split sentence, which is a term of local jail incarceration followed by probation supervision. New York State regulates and funds Probation Departments, however, supervision of individuals is a local responsibility.

Adults Under Probation Supervision by County (4/2024)

Adults under supervision are shown annually for the past five years and by conviction type, sex, and race/ethnicity for the most current year. See data notes for more information.

These cases may remain in Youth Part or be transferred to, also referred to as removed to, Probation and/or Family Court.

• Juvenile Offender (JO) and Adolescent Offender (AO) Youth Part Activity and Court Case Outcomes (5/2024)

Juvenile Delinquent Probation Intakes

Probation departments are responsible for screening juvenile delinquent (JD) cases for Family Courts to determine whether JD petitions should be filed, or cases can be adjusted (also known as diverted). This process is referred to as probation intake. The JD classification is assigned at arrest to cases involving youth who are 12 through 15 years old and charged with committing misdemeanor offenses and nearly all felony offenses. JD cases also include 16- and 17-year-olds who are charged with misdemeanors, and 16- and 17-year-olds who are charged with felonies (adolescent offenders) and whose cases are removed from the Youth Part of Criminal Court.

These data are presented by region and county:

• Juvenile Delinquent Probation Intakes Opened by Race/Ethnicity, Sex and Age (4/2024)
• Juvenile Delinquent Probation Intakes Closed by Race/Ethnicity (4/2024)

Probation Supervision

Probation supervision may be imposed by the Family Court after a delinquency finding or by the Youth Part of Criminal Court after a criminal conviction or youthful offender adjudication. Probation supervision allows these youth to remain in the community under conditions specified by the court and supervised by the local probation department.

These data are presented by region and county:

• Youth Probation Supervision Cases Opened by Race/Ethnicity, Sex and Age (4/2024)
• Youth Probation Supervision Cases Closed by Race/Ethnicity (4/2024)

Family Courts handle cases involving youth who are 12-17 and have a juvenile delinquency (JD) petition filed after a referral from a presentment agency: either the New York City Corporation Counsel’s Office or a County Attorney’s Office in the counties outside of New York City. These cases include those involving 16- and 17-year-olds charged with felonies (adolescent offenders) and 13-, 14-, and 15-year olds charged with certain serious felonies (juvenile offenders) that were removed from Youth Part of Criminal Court to Family Court.

These data are presented by region and county:

• Initial Petitions Filed by Race/Ethnicity, Sex and Age (4/2024)
• Initial Petitions Disposed by Race/Ethnicity (4/2024)

This dashboard contains data on juvenile delinquency (JD) cases in New York State by race and ethnicity and county. The number and racial/ethnic breakdown of cases are shown for the following case processing points in the juvenile justice system: probation intakes opened, probation intakes referred to the presentment agency, probation intakes adjusted, petitions filed in Family Court, petitions resulting in a JD finding, petitions resulting in no JD finding, and probation supervision cases opened. The JD classification in the youth justice system refers to the following types of cases:

• Youth 12- to 15-years-old charged with a misdemeanor or felony offense;
• Youth 16- to 17-years-old charged with a misdemeanor; or
• Youth 16- to 17-years-old charged with a felony (“Adolescent Offender”) whose cases are removed from the Youth Part of Criminal Court to Probation or Family Court.

Data represent the count and percent of cases by race/ethnicity at each case processing point in the juvenile justice system. Data represent cases at each point, not unique individuals. Data do not follow individual youth through the juvenile justice system.

For race/ethnicity, five categories are displayed: White, Black, Hispanic, Other Race/Ethnicity, and Not Reported. All cases involving youth of Hispanic ethnicity are reported in the Hispanic category, regardless of race. The Other Race/Ethnicity category includes cases of youth who are Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaskan Native, or Other Race. Not Reported reflects cases that are missing data on race/ethnicity.
