"CPJA’s Research & Statistics Branch is Hawaii’s primary source of criminological data and other objective information on the nature and extent of crime in Hawaii. Branch publications such as the annual Crime in Hawaii Uniform Crime Report provide critical, comprehensive data and analysis to the Attorney General and other criminal justice agencies and professionals, legislators, crime prevention and community mobilization groups, academic and research institutions, service providers, news media, and the general public.

"The research group provides independent and critical feedback to management via standard reports, population forecasts, and offender analysis reports.

Program reports help management identify ways to improve programs and activities. Offender analysis reports provide management and outside users with useful offender statistics."

"The Iowa Department of Corrections is committed to effective, evidence-based and research-informed practices and programs for offenders in institutions and on community supervision. Analysis of pertinent trends, research on recidivism, validation of risk assessment tools, and maintaining a performance measurement system are some of the regular activities that also contribute to the Department’s mission."
