As part of a project funded by the National Institute of Justice, the American Prosecutors Research Institute’s Office of Research and Evaluation (APRI is the research and development division of the National District Attorneys Association) implemented and tested a performance measurement framework in two prosecutors’ offices. The purpose of the project was to identify which performance measures provided the most meaningful understanding of prosecutorial performance. (See Nugent- Borakove, Budzilowicz, & Rainville, 2007 for the full study findings.) One set of measures, related to ensuring safer communities, was tested using a public safety survey to measure community members’ opinions about crime, safety, and the performance of the prosecutor’s office. This monograph discusses the public safety survey, what prosecutors should be asking the public, the manner in which prosecutors can receive objective feedback from their constituents, and how to use the information to deter- mine how well the office is meeting its goal of ensuring public safety.
