The New York Statistical Analysis Center is located within the Office of Justice Research and Performance, Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS). DCJS is the State Administering Agency (SAA) for the state of New York. The SAC plays a major role in New York State's criminal justice policy and program development by analyzing data, conducting research, and evaluating program effectiveness. For example, SAC staff are involved in compiling and reporting UCR/IBR data, collecting and analyzing data for the state's Results First cost benefit analysis efforts, and implementing a system of fidelity reviews for alternative corrections programs throughout the state. In addition, besides providing statistical information and analysis to the state on a number of justice issues, SAC staff provide support for outside research.
