CONCLUSION
Since the implementation of AB109, on October 1, 2011, San Joaquin County has been managing the AB109 population in innovative ways in an effort to increase public safety and increase successful reentry back into the community.
San Joaquin County now has four years of AB109 data.
The following is a year four report that centers on the AB109 recidivism outcomes for Realignment in San Joaquin County.
Recidivism data is offered in three cohorts and are analyzed as one overall AB109 client group.
This study looks at recidivism by number of arrests, convictions, and revocations, in addition to recidivism rates by risk level, unit referral.

Clients Two Years Since Release, Recidivism Rate
Clients Three Years Since Release, Recidivism Rate

32. Conclusion
Only 23.2% of AB109 clients were convicted of a new crime after one full year in the community both down from the previous years rates.
In addition, as was the case in last year’s report, over three-fourths (80.1%) of the AB109 convictions were for Part II offenses.
The high majority of those who were arrested, convicted, or who had a revocation were assessed as high risk indicating that the STRONG continues to be an effective tool.
Of the hundreds of clients that have been served by the Collaborative Courts, the high majority were referred to a treatment program, and one half or more of the clients were found to be in compliance.
Conviction rates for Compliance Court and for two of the four community based organizations providing case management services are lower than the overall AB109 conviction rate indicating a very promising sign of effective interventions.
