ELS--at least in its applied form--increasingly attracts interest outside of the academy. [Now former] NYC Mayor Bloomberg developed and recently released a web-based application that allows users to explore recidivism rates for specific sub-groups of New York City criminal defendants and help predict defendants’ likelihood of re-arrest.
Data Analytic Recidivism Tool ("DART") "enables users, including criminal justice professionals, program planners and researchers to select a group of defendants based on factors like age, prior criminal history and details about their criminal cases. DART will then produce a graph displaying three different one-year re-arrest rates for the selected group, including the percentage re-arrested for any crime within a year; the percentage re-arrested for a felony within a year; the percentage re-arrested for a violent felony within a year; and a comparison to the citywide average."
