Executive Summary This evaluation of Ottawa County domestic violence offenses provides insight into the demographic, trend, and relational aspects of this community problem that will assist County leaders with future policy decisions. It will also allow leaders to better assess the impact of present programs and policies on domestic violence. Further, information in this report will improve the County s ability to measure the impact that future policy and program adjustments have on future occurrences and subsequent recidivism rates. All of the data utilized for this study resulted from domestic violence cases that occurred between January 1995 and December 1999. The data is compiled into detailed tables and charts which are presented throughout the document. The information was so exhaustive that it was difficult to narrow the selection of data for this Executive Summary. After much deliberation, the data was encapsulated into the following highlights: The number of domestic violence charges was 2,753. The mean age of those charged with a domestic violence offense was 31.5. Males accounted for 81% of domestic violence charges and females accounted for 19%. Whites represented 88.6% of the population and accounted for 72.7% of domestic violence charges; Hispanics represented 7.0% of the population and accounted for 13.1% of the charges; Asians represented 2.1% of the population and accounted for 1.6% of the charges; Blacks represented 1.0% of the population and accounted for 10% of the charges. Although Holland City and Holland Township represented only 23.7% of the population, these entities accounted for 51.4% of the total domestic violence charges. Although Georgetown Township, Jamestown Township, and Hudsonville City represented 22.5% of the population, these entities accounted for only 6.1% of the total domestic violence charges. 54.6% of individuals charged with domestic violence had a previous criminal record. 64.9% (1,787) of those charged were convicted of domestic violence between 1995 and 1999. 31.2% of the charges involving domestic violence resulted in dismissals or acquittals. 3.9% of those charged were allowed to plea to another charge. 25.3% of the individuals convicted of domestic violence had their cases expunged through a special Spouse Abuse Act probationary designation. The mean fines and costs assessed to those convicted of domestic violence was $295.10. The mean jail time sentence for those convicted of domestic violence was 57 days. The mean jail time served for those sentenced to jail time was 31 days. 9.9% of those convicted of domestic violence recidivated in the first two years. 10.6% of male domestic violence offenders and 6.5% of females recidivated in the first two years. 21.4% of Blacks recidivated in the first two years; 17.3% of Hispanics; 7.6% of Whites; and 0% of Asians. The recidivism rate for those domestic violence offenders that plead to a lesser domestic violence charge was 22.4%. The recidivism rate for those domestic violence offenders that received a Spouse Abuse Act probationary designation was 5.4%. This summary provides a very modest glimpse of the entire data, trends, and findings that are reported in this evaluation. A more thorough overview of the domestic violence data is provided in the subsequent sections of this document. Ottawa County Planning Department Domestic Violence Evaluation (7/21/2003) i
Introduction In 1993, the Michigan Legislature began updating several state statutes to address domestic violence and other related offenses. One of the legislative changes created a new criminal charge entitled Domestic Violence and, shortly thereafter, Ottawa County began charging perpetrators with this offense. Information regarding these Domestic Violence offenses is entered into the Criminal Justice Users System by law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, and probation personnel. The data collected on each of these cases is extensive. It includes information regarding demographics, arrests, charges, criminal history, treatment, probation violations, and other pertinent information. In all, there are 28 separate variables and 158 sub-variables included in the domestic violence database that were used to produce this study (see Appendix A). This data is now being used to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of domestic violence related programs, policies, and activities that are being implemented by Ottawa County. This study utilized quantitative statistical techniques, specialized statistical software (SPSS), and two Grand Valley State University statisticians to ensure that study results were accurate, valid, and unbiased. The study summarizes and analyzes data for domestic violence cases that occurred in Ottawa County between January 1995 and December 1999. Prior to analyzing data, the Ottawa County Planning Department first worked collaboratively with County agencies (law enforcement, prosecutorial, community corrections, and probation) to define measurable goals, clarify roles and responsibilities, and analyze the criminal justice procedures and processes that are used to manage domestic violence cases (see Appendix B). This strategic planning process resulted in a domestic violence study that provides four primary categories of information: a descriptive analysis, an inferential analysis, a financial analysis, and a conclusion. The descriptive analysis provides information about demographics, charges, case dispositions, convictions, sentencing, treatments, and probation violations. The inferential analysis utilizes the data to determine if there are relationships between certain variables and recidivism. The financial analysis provides information about the costs of the various sentencing/treatment options. The conclusion provides suggestions for domestic violence related data collection activities, as well as overall recommendations that may be explored further to determine if domestic violence recidivism can be reduced. The statistical techniques that are used in this evaluation can be intimidating to the casual reader. However, many of these techniques often only confirm and verify conclusions that can be inferred by viewing many of the trend-lines, charts, graphs, and tables. In other words, as this evaluation is reviewed, a fair amount of common sense should be used. The statistical methodologies should not be allowed to overwhelm any assessments that are based on common sense. Ottawa County Planning Department Domestic Violence Evaluation (7/21/2003) ii
Descriptive Statistical Analysis Overview This section utilizes several descriptive statistical techniques to provide domestic violence related information that includes the following: demographics, charges, case dispositions, convictions, sentencing, treatment, and probation violations. The primary techniques that are used to describe this data are as follows: Frequency Distribution - organizing raw data into tables and graphs Mean - average value of all numeric measurements in a data set Median - the value that falls in the middle of a set of numeric measurements when they are arranged in order of magnitude Mode - most frequently occurring numeric measurement in a data set Standard Deviation - numeric measurement that provides information about the dispersion or variability of data The data in this section has been systematically arranged in tables and graphs to allow in-depth scrutiny of the domestic violence information that is included in this evaluation. A few highlights from this section are listed below: Charges The number of domestic violence charges filed between 1995 and 1999 was 2,753. The mean age of those charged with a domestic violence offense was 31.5; the age range of those charged was between 16 and 81. Males accounted for 81% of domestic violence charges and females accounted for 19%. Whites represented 88.6% of the population and accounted for 72.7% of domestic violence charges; Hispanics represented 7.0% of the population and accounted for 13.1% of the charges; Asians represented 2.1% of the population and accounted for 1.6% of the charges; Blacks represented 1.0% of the population and accounted for 10% of the charges. Although Holland City and Holland Township represented only 23.7% of the population, these entities accounted for 51.4% of the total domestic violence charges. Although Georgetown Township, Jamestown Township, and Hudsonville City represented 22.5% of the population, these entities accounted for only 6.1% of the total domestic violence charges. 54.6% of individuals charged with domestic violence had a previous criminal record. Case Disposition 31.2% of the domestic violence charges were dismissed or ended in acquittals. 29.9% of males and 36.7% of females had their cases dismissed, or were acquitted of domestic violence. 66.2% of males and 59.3% of females were either convicted or entered a domestic violence plea. Convictions The number of individuals convicted of domestic violence between 1995 and 1999 was 1,787. 64.9% of those charged were convicted. 82.6% of those convicted were male and 17.3% female. 72.7% of those convicted were White; 14.5% Hispanic, 8.6 % Black; 1.8% Asian.

49.7% of those convicted of domestic violence pled guilty; 11.9% pled no contest; 4.5% were convicted at trial; 2.8% pled to a lesser domestic violence offense; and 31.1% received a Spouse Abuse Act designation *. 27.5% of males and 47.9% of females received a Spouse Abuse Act designation. 25.3% of all domestic violence convictions were expunged after successfully completing the provisions of their Spouse Abuse Act probation. * Spouse Abuse Act: This statute authorizes a Court to grant a special type of probation that permits a domestic violence conviction to be expunged if an offender does not violate the conditions of the probation order. If this probation order is violated, a conviction is entered and the defendant is sentenced. A non-public record is kept by the State Police. Offenders are only eligible to be granted this type of probation once. Sentencing/Treatment 91.7% of those convicted of domestic violence were ordered to pay fines and costs. The median amount of fines and costs included in court orders was $250; the mode was $220. The range of fines and costs was between $15 and $3,401. 42.0% of those convicted were sentenced to jail time. The median number of jail days that were sentenced in court orders was 42; the mode was 30. The number of jail days sentenced ranged between 1 and 540. 70.2% of those sentenced to serve jail time did serve some time. The median number of days served in jail was 15; the mode was 2. The number of jail days served ranged between 1 and 540 days. 4 offenders received electronic monitoring as a part of their sentence. 31 offenders received community service as a part of their sentence. 81.2% of those convicted received probation as a part of their sentence. The median (and mode) number of probation months sentenced was 12. 70.3% of those sentenced to probation were ordered to participate in traditional probation ; 29.7% were ordered into Intensively Supervised Probation. 41.9% of those convicted were ordered to participate in a program based on the Duluth Model (i.e. Family Violence Program). 12.9% of those convicted received treatment for substance abuse. 29.4% of those convicted were ordered to attend individual counseling..4% of those convicted were ordered to attend couples counseling. Probation Outcomes 42.7% of those sentenced to probation received satisfactory discharge; 31.1% received satisfactory discharge with Spouse Abuse Act expungement; 12.7% had probation revoked; 8.2% received an unsatisfactory discharge. 26.0% of those sentenced to probation had a single probation violation; 9.4% had two probation violations; and 2.1% had three probation violations. The majority of probation violations were caused by an alcohol/drug related charge or failure of the offender to attend counseling. 56.9% of offenders were sentenced to jail time for probation violations; 14.1% received extended probation.
