          STAFF COMMENTS: SUSPENSE FILE.

          This bill defines juvenile recidivism, as it relates to tracking  
          the recidivism rates of former DJJ wards, as: 1) The number of  
          individuals who are subsequently arrested during the follow up  
          period; 2) The number of individuals who are subsequently  
          adjudicated or convicted during the follow up period; 3) The  
          number of individuals who are subsequently returned to the  
          Division during the follow up period; 4) The number of  
          individuals who are subsequently returned or committed to the  
          California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation,  
          Division of Adult Institutions, during the follow up period. DJJ  
          is already beginning to track this information, and will  
          continue to expand recidivism tracking.

          This bill requires DJJ to post the recidivism information  
          that it is required to track on its website, annually. DJJ  










          already posts limited recidivism information on its  
          website, and there will not be significant additional costs  
          to post the new information.
