Policing, courts and jails

Detention capacity, prosecution, diversion and police oversight.

Who took it up, and when

Each government's first appearance in the window, in order. The bar is where in the window it landed, so a subject that swept the region in one season and one that trickled across two years read differently at a glance.

Month by month

Items mentioning this subject per month across the window.

Which words did the matching

A subject carried entirely by one phrase is a different finding from one carried by six. These are the words the documents themselves used.

• juvenile crime prevention ×35
• crisis diversion ×16
• detention center ×14
• school resource officer ×13
• jail ×11
• district attorney ×5
• detention annex ×4
• magistrate ×3
• detention facility ×2
• reentry ×1
• use of force ×1

Governments with nothing on this

No item or write-up in this window mentions the subject in City of Durham, City of Raleigh, City of Sanford, Town of Chapel Hill, Town of Fuquay-Varina, Town of Garner, Town of Knightdale, Town of Morrisville, Town of Pittsboro, and Town of Wake Forest. That is not proof nothing happened there. Two school boards and several towns publish agendas no program can read, and a subject can be discussed at length without a word of it reaching a printed agenda.

What was on the agenda

Public comment is only known where a meeting's captions have been read, which is a small share of them. "Not read" means unknown, not zero.
