These results from Moore et al seem to be largely consistent with those found by @Dr_Lowder et al in Indiana:

Have you seen the latest publication from Cristopher Moore, Elise Ferguson, & Paul Guerin on pretrial release and the risk of recidivism?

The authors looked at over 15k felony cases and measured rearrest rates by crime type and severity, finding that a majority of rearrests are for low-level felonies or misdemeanors. Only 0.1% of rearrests were for 1st-degree felonies and 1% for 2nd-degree felonies, respectively.

The authors considered defendants' rearrests alongside the pretrial risk assessment scores they were assigned and discuss in this paper how policymakers/judges can use these findings to better translate risk scores into conditions for release.

#ASC2022: @_Carmen_Diaz_ presented "The role of probation revocation in future criminal justice involvement: An 8-year retrospective study."
Ultimately, Carmen found that revocation didn't generally predict future CJ contact, except among low-risk probation clients. Great job!
