3. BUT how do we know if we are getting all the Restitution Orders?
Take a sample, so that’s what we did…
We examined all the offender Commitments January-April 2016.
That was 3,300 commitments
By excluding probation we dropped the number to 1,386 (Termer, Rider, Parole Violator Commitments only).
Then 1,386 Judgment & Conviction Orders were examined for Restitution Orders.
Staff resources: 1 Victim Services Coordinator and a light duty person; it took 3 months.

4. Setting our sights: victim specific
1386 J&C Orders were examined for Restitution Orders.
Specifically looking for:
IC reimbursement for victims & Crime Victims Compensation Fund.
IC Civil Judgments for victim pain & suffering.
And unstated code but victim specific.

5. Our intent was to examine Victim specific restitution only, so we did NOT include…
IC (Public Defender fees)
IC (Prosecutor investigation fees)
IC (County Coroner’s Office fees)
IC (recording DNA fees)
IC (drug testing fees)
IC (CVCF general fee)

6. Back up, did you say 5307 Civil Judgments!
YES.
And here’s why.
I need your help.

7. Let’s lighten up 

8. So what did we learn for our sample?
1,386 J&C Orders reviewed.
426 Orders included restitution.
The “drilling down” process was extremely time consuming.
117 orders required court clerk requests.
265 Victim Specific Restitution Orders were identified.
Only 38 orders had been received.
