New York City Criminal Justice Agency

Thoughtful and in-depth research from Michael Rempel and DCJ explores when courts follow and when they deviate from CJA's Release Assessment Recommendation. Administered to nearly every person arrested in NYC, and recently re-validated for its accuracy, the RA is highly effective at predicting court appearance and even re-offense rate. While its a trusted tool throughout the court system, judges often decline to follow the recommendation for a number of reasons. This new research suggests that this may lead to unnecessary pretrial detention for people with high likelihood of returning to court. At CJA, we believe that transparency and public safety are not at odds. They grow stronger when grounded in data, accountability, and shared trust.

CJA was proud to join the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice and community partners for Justice in Motion, an event connecting justice-impacted New Yorkers with job opportunities, reentry resources, and support services. Together, we’re advancing a vision of public safety rooted in opportunity, equity, and dignity—helping people move forward and build stronger communities. #JusticeInMotion #Reentry #NYC #CriminalJustice #SecondChances #CommunityPartnerships
