The Charleston County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) remains steadfast in its commitment to reducing racial and ethnic disproportionality and/or disparity (REDD) and improving the local criminal justice system (CJS). The 2018 midyear report focuses on this critical issue and shows: 

  • REDD is a complex issue resulting from both societal and CJS factors. There is a compelling need for increased community and criminal justice system collaboration to further reduce REDD and improve our local CJS.

  • Disproportionality in Charleston’s CJS has been on the decline since 2014 in most areas. The highest amount of disproportionality occurs at booking into jail and incarceration.

  • The CJCC will continue and strengthen efforts to reduce REDD through a new, dedicated strategy, pending funding.

Every decision and every decision maker matters.
