Status:
Substantial progress
Evidence of progress:

General feedback from key stakeholders is that the SOCJS (the Dashboard and related products) is regularly used to inform day-to-day work and is a helpful tool to quickly provide calculated data generated to respond to public policy related questions and discussions on the criminal justice system. The Youth Criminal Justice Division is a policy group that has expressed this feedback numerous times, noting that they use the SOCJS Dashboard almost on a daily basis, and were pleased with the automated indicators to resolve the lag in reporting issues.
