RECOMMENDATIONS. Pursuant to 16-11.3-103, C.R.S. (H.B. 2018-1287), the Commission is mandated to generate recommendations intended to improve the criminal justice system in Colorado by removing barriers to offender success while enhancing public safety, reducing recidivism, reducing victimization and optimizing the efficient use of public resources. About half of CCJJ recommendations suggest legislation to modify Colorado Revised Statutes and the remaining half that are not legislative address policies and practices of specific agencies that are responsible for criminal justice-involved populations.
