Bond, Brown, Carroll, Clay, DeKalb, Kane, Kendall, Lake, Marshall, McHenry and Mercer Counties were not included due to lower case numbers reported. Due to the pandemic and natural attrition, some counties lost court monitors over the past year resulting in a small number of cases being monitored.
The data represented shows that some counties had much higher conviction rates than others. We can document that of the cases monitored by MADD, the conviction rate dropped from 70% in 2020 to 54% in 2021. It is imperative to continue documenting data to ensure that declining conviction rates do not become the trend in Illinois. It is MADD’s belief that continued court monitoring will continue to create a strong presence in courtrooms across Illinois, and this will allow for more data to be recorded which will continue to give an even clearer, more accurate picture of judicial and prosecutorial patterns throughout the state.
