Many indictable charges are downgraded to disorderly persons offenses and are heard in the municipal court.

- Criminal Justice Reform, Welcome to the Criminal Justice Reform Information Center. Here you will find information related to the efforts of the Judiciary and its criminal justice reform partners in state, county and municipal government to implement bail and speedy trial reform and to form a pretrial services unit. On Jan. 1, 2017, the state shifted from a system that relies principally on setting monetary bail as a condition of release to a risk-based system that is more objective, and thus fairer to defendants because it is unrelated to their ability to pay monetary bail. The statute also sets deadlines for the timely filing of an indictment and the disposition of criminal charges for incarcerated defendants., On This Page, Highlights, Criminal Justice Reform represents a fundamental change in how defendants and their cases are processed in the New Jersey courts. On Jan. 1, 2017, the state moved from a system that relied principally on setting monetary bail as a condition of release to a risk-based system that is more objective, promotes public safety and is fairer to defendants because it is unrelated to their ability to pay monetary bail. The new rules are based on a voter-approved constitutional amendment. It includes reforms to the bail system and a new speedy trial law, which sets time frames for criminal cases. Criminal Justice Reform fundamentally changes how defendants, and their cases, are processed in courts. Chief Justice Stuart Rabner writes that Criminal Justice Reform puts New Jersey at the forefront of fairness . Under the new risk-based system, access to money will no longer determine pretrial detainment. Defendants with a serious risk of danger or flight can be detained pending trial. Low-risk defendants who can’t afford bail will be released. Pretrial services officers will monitor those defendants based on the conditions of their release. The reform addresses real consequences for poor defendants – often members of minority groups – who pose little risk. The changes reflect a commitment to delivering quality justice. A real-world case study from Chief Justice Rabner showcases the impact of bail rules on case outcomes. "In the end, Mallon's inability to post a modest amount of bail likely affected the outcome of his case as much as the weight of the evidence against him." Get more information on the new rules with the Criminal Justice Reform Infographic . , Publications, The Public Safety Assessment (PSA) helps courts and judges determine the risk associated with releasing a defendant pretrial. The assessment was developed by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation (LJAF). The PSA uses nine risk factors to assess the risk of new criminal activity (NCA), including new violent criminal activity (NVCA), and failure to appear (FTA) pending case disposition. There are many considerations in the Pretrial Release Recommendation Decision Making Framework . Learn how to process works for identifying the pretrial release/detention recommendations that are made to the judge in criminal and municipal cases.

It is fairer to defendants because it is unrelated to their ability to pay monetary bail. The new law also sets deadlines for the timely filing of an indictment and the disposition of criminal charges for incarcerated defendants. The Criminal Justice Reform Myth v. Fact Brochure breaks down some of the common misconceptions about the reforms. For example: Myth – Dangerous criminals are being released to the community without supervision until trial. Fact – Before criminal justice reform, a judge was obligated to set bail in most cases. A dangerous defendant with money could post bail and be released. Now, prosecutors for the first time have the opportunity to convince a judge that a defendant poses a significant risk to the community and should be held in jail with no chance for pretrial release., Reports, Report to the Governor and Legislature 2022-2024 Report of the Reconvened Joint Committee on Criminal Justice Report of the Reconvened Joint Committee on Criminal Justice - June 7, 2023 New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts Graves Act Analysis March 4, 2022 Graves Act Analysis – March 4, 2022 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2021 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2021 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2020 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2020 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2019 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2019 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2018 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2018 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2017 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2017 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2016 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2016 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2015 Report to the Governor and Legislature 2015 Report of the Joint Committee on Criminal Justice Report of the Joint Committee on Criminal Justice, Statistics, Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2025 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 – Dec. 31, 2024 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 – Dec. 31, 2024 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1, 2023 – Dec. 31, 2023 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 – Dec. 31, 2023 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2022 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec 31, 2022 CCriminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2021 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2021 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2020 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2020 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2019 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2019 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2018 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2018 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2017 Criminal Justice Reform Statistics: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2017
