The Mississippi Statistical Analysis Center was created by executive order of Governor Ronnie Musgrove in October of 2000. The mission of the MS-SAC is to provide sound statistical information in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the state鈥檚 criminal justice system.
Current MS-SAC Research:
Currently the MS-SAC is completing a 2-year analysis of the state's drug court programs in order to assess efficacy and longevity. The drug court evaluation is an update to the 2007 evaluation which was also performed by MS-SAC in conjunction with 草榴社区 School of Criminal Justice, Forensic Science and Security.
Additionally, the MS-SAC is conducting a census of the state's nearly 400 law enforcement agencies as an update to the 2003 census conducted by 草榴社区 School of Criminal Justice, Forensic Science and Security. It is slated for distribution in early 2018.
