Illinois SAC

A unique feature of the Illinois SAC website is the availability of criminal justice and associated risk factor data in many formats: downloadable spreadsheets, tabular formats by county, as well as through several data tools that utilize InstantAlas™ templates. These tools enable comparisons of counties on a variety of crime and justice indicators, and correlations of factors within counties. Trends over the last ten years can also be tracked using these data tools.
