CPS was awarded the Comprehensive School Safety Initiative grant and use said grant to establish the 'Connect and Redirect to Respect' program. This program used student social media data to identify and intervene with students thought to be at higher risk for committing violence. At-risk behaviors included brandishing a weapon, instigating conflict online, signaling gang involvement, and threats towards others. Identified at-risk students would be contacted by a member of the CPS Network Safety Team or the Chicago Police Department's Gang School Safety Team, depending on the risk level of the behavior. To evaluate the efficacy of CRR, the University of Chicago Crime Lab compared outcomes for students enrolled in schools that received the program to outcomes for students enrolled in comparison schools, which did not receive the program. 32 schools were selected for the study, with a total of 44,503 students. Demographic variables included age, race, sex, and ethnicity.

The goal of this study was to test the efficacy of SANE/SART programs as a tool in the criminal justice system. The American Prosecutors Research Institute and Boston College tested the hypotheses that SANE/SART exams increase arrest and prosecution rates. In testing this hypothesis, the project team sought to answer five primary research questions: (1) Is the arrest rate higher in cases where a SANE/SART exam is performed as compared with cases in which no exam is performed?, (2) Is the indictment/charging rate higher in such cases?, (3) Are guilty pleas more likely to be entered in such cases, and are pleas likely to be to the existing charge or to a lesser charge?, (4) Is the conviction rate higher in such cases?, and (5) Is the sentence more severe in such cases? In addition, the project team examined the participation of victims in the criminal justice process and the types of services that were offered them. As a large portion of SANE/SART programs focus on understanding victims' reactions to sexual assault and ensuring proper treatment to minimize the chance of further trauma, a central hypothesis to be tested was that improved case outcomes may be a result of increased participation by the victim in the identification, apprehension, and prosecution of the perpetrator. Moreover, the level of services offered and provided to victims, particularly those related to prosecution would likely affect case outcomes as well. Both the victim's participation in the criminal justice system and specifics of SANE/SART services, including evidence collection, were considered in determining the true impact of SANE/SART interventions on case outcomes." ``` -### 24.

The determination of what culture judges and court administrators desired to establish in the near future was also obtained through the application of the same instrument (CACI) as practitioners were asked to indicate the type of culture in each work area (or content dimension) they would like to see in their court in the next five years. Additionally, surveys were conducted of prosecuting attorneys (Part 2) and public defender attorneys (Part 3) to gauge their views on how well the courts in which they practice achieve the goals of access, fairness, and managerial effectiveness. Every prosecutor and public defender with two years or more experience in representing the state or criminal defendants in felony cases was asked to complete a questionnaire probing their thoughts on how well their court acted to promote access to records through availability and staff cooperation, treating litigants, witnesses, jurors and others fairly, and demonstrating concern for the rights and interests of others in the criminal trial process, including attorney and victims.

Required elements must include at least one value. +- **Repeatable:** Indicates whether the metadata element may be repeated ("Yes") or if it may only occur once ("No"). +- **Accepted values:** The type of values that may be used with the metadata element; options include text (with additional requirements, such as date formatting, noted when present) and numbers. Multi-part metadata elements have accepted value information provided in entries for individual subelements. +- **Usage Notes:** Additional information about the nature, scope, and conventions for values that may be added to the metadata element. +- **Examples:** Examples of valid values for the metadata element. + + +--- +## Metadata Elements: Detailed Information + + +### Title + +**Description:** The official title that describes what the data collection is about, its geographic scope, and the time period it covered. + +**Required:** Yes + +**Repeatable:** No + +**Accepted Values:** Text + +**Usage Notes:** The Title includes three essential parts: the title proper, the geography, and the time period. + +Title Proper: + + * The title proper is a descriptive string that captures what the data collection contains. + + * The title proper uses title case: all major words are capitalized, while minor words are lowercased. + + * For new studies, ICPSR starts with the title proper provided by the data depositor. Most title propers are straightforward about their contents, such as the 'American Community Survey' or the 'Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies.' Some title propers include a more branded description, such as 'Bridge of Faith: Aim4Peace Community-Based Violence Prevention Project or Contents' and 'Contexts of Cyberbullying: An Epidemiologic Study using Electronic Detection and Social Network Analysis.' + + * For updated studies, ICPSR uses the existing title in production, making changes as necessary to add new years or additional geographical locations. For studies that are part of an ICPSR series, titles remain consistent with the previous series studies. + +Geography: + + * All titles include the data collection's geography. If the geography is already included in the title proper, it is not repeated. + + * Cities are paired with state or province names that are spelled out (e.g., Portland, Oregon), unless the city names are unique or well-known. + + * Studies with more than four geographic locations typically are summarized using, for example, '5 countries,' '8 German cities,' '20 U.S. states' instead of listing all locations. In the latter case, 'U.S.' is used rather than 'United States' or 'American'. + + * Descriptors that do not have a distinct geographic area, such as 'communities' or 'regions', are not included in titles. + + * 'Global' may be appropriate for studies where the universe of participants is truly worldwide. Possible examples include online surveys that are not restricted by geography, or studies of organizations, such as NGOs. + + * Brackets are typically not indicated. They are indicated when a study has National, Federal, Congressional, or American in the title. Brackets can be indicated if a non-United States study has "National" in the title, or a similar word specific to that country. + +Time Period: + + * All titles include the data collection's time period, which reflects the time period that the data collection covers and should match the Time Period. For example, in the 'Uganda Elite Study, 1964-1968', it is assumed that the Ugandans were surveyed about events in 1964-1968, even if the actual data collection might not have taken place until later. + + * If the time period is already included in the title proper, it is not repeated. + + * For most studies, a single year or range of years is acceptable. Years are written as four digits, including when used in a range (e.g., '1999', '2001-2003', or '1999, 2010, 2015'). + + * Months are included only when part of ICPSR series that have multiple releases, which are otherwise identical, each year. In these cases, months are spelled out (e.g., 'September 2020' instead of '9/2020' or 'Sept. 2020'). + +**Examples:** + +```text +"Bridge of Faith: Aim4Peace Community-Based Violence Prevention Project, Kansas City, Missouri, 2014-2017" +``` + +```text +"Health and Relationships Project, United States, 2014-2015" +``` + +```text +"Targeted Interventions to Prevent Chronic Low Back Pain in High Risk Patients: A Multi-Site Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial (TARGET Trial), 4 U.S. cities, 2016-2019" +``` + +```text +"Aid Like A Paycheck (ALAP), Texas and California, 2014-2017" +``` + +```text +"COVID-19 Disruptions Disproportionately Affect Female Academics, Global, 2020" +``` + + +--- + + +### Alternate Titles + +**Description:** The alternate name(s) or acronym(s) commonly used to refer to the data collection. + +**Required:** No + +**Repeatable:** Yes + +**Accepted Values:** Text + +**Usage Notes:** Alternate Title often takes the form of a shortened (by abbreviation or acronym) version of the official title. + +**Examples:** + +```text +"Add Health Parent Study" +``` + +```text +"FACES 2009" +``` + +```text +"Survey of Consumers" +``` + +```text +"Eurobarometer 85.2" +``` + + +--- + + +### Principal Investigators + +**Description:** The key people or organizations responsible for the data collection, listed by importance.

CPS was awarded the Comprehensive School Safety Initiative grant and use said grant to establish the 'Connect and Redirect to Respect' program. This program used student social media data to identify and intervene with students thought to be at higher risk for committing violence. At-risk behaviors included brandishing a weapon, instigating conflict online, signaling gang involvement, and threats towards others. Identified at-risk students would be contacted by a member of the CPS Network Safety Team or the Chicago Police Department's Gang School Safety Team, depending on the risk level of the behavior. To evaluate the efficacy of CRR, the University of Chicago Crime Lab compared outcomes for students enrolled in schools that received the program to outcomes for students enrolled in comparison schools, which did not receive the program. 32 schools were selected for the study, with a total of 44,503 students.
