About RAP

The Research & Planning (RAP) unit leads data tracking, reporting, and analysis across DCJ and in cooperation with external partners. The unit conducts both simple and complex quantitative data analyses as well as a full suite of qualitative methodologies, providing actionable insight to practitioners, management and executives. The unit provides the Agency with evidence-backed feedback from staff, adults and youth on supervision, victims of crime/survivors of violence, and community partners regarding DCJ practices and needed quality improvements.
