Recidivism After Deferred Judgment

This chart shows the percent of individuals who had new criminal cases filed within two years of successfully completing deferred judgment. This indicator helps prosecutors assess the long-term impact of deferred judgments.

New criminal cases include any felony or misdemeanor non-traffic case filed within 2 years after an individual successfully completed a deferred judgment. Since completion dates are difficult to determine, an average of 2 years after deferred judgment was used to determine successful completion date. All cases are then tracked for a full 2 years after this date. Cases grouped by the date the deferred judgment was received. This metric includes data on cases filed since 2007 by the eight DA Offices participating in the Colorado Prosecutorial Dashboards Project (see Technical Notes).
