Ohio logged 1.16 million felony charges across all 88 counties over the past decade with 404,988 people involved. In the Mahoning Valley, 50,293 felony charges were filed in that time span, involving 21,104 individuals.

That crime data and much more can be found on a new online dashboard launched Friday by outgoing Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.

Yost said the new database provides unprecedented transparency into felony crime and sentencing trends across Ohio.

“This data has countless applications, whether it’s helping families understand community safety or guiding policymakers in improving criminal justice laws,” Yost said.

“Most importantly, it strengthens accountability and helps ensure that violent offenders get the sentences they deserve. Knowledge is power.”

The Ohio Crime Statistics Dashboard, accessible on the Attorney General’s website, compiles felony arrest and sentencing data dating back the past 10 years for all 88 counties. Data for individual counties can easily be filtered on it as well.

It is the first public-facing dashboard of its kind in Ohio, Yost, whose last official day in office was Sunday, said.

The platform offers the public, researchers, law enforcement and the judiciary a clear, data-driven look at the types of crimes committed in different jurisdictions and the sentences imposed for those offenses.

The dashboard pulls its data from the state’s Computerized Criminal History database, which has served since 1974 as the statewide repository for arrest and conviction data that law enforcement agencies are required to submit to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

Designed for ease of use, the platform allows users to filter data by offense type, county, court, law enforcement agency and offender demographics. Interactive maps and graphs make it easy to identify regional trends, compare jurisdictions and study sentencing outcomes.

Because the dashboard relies on self-reported data from hundreds of agencies, inconsistent reporting compliance can result in incomplete data, including missing information on felony levels. The dashboard also cautions users to avoid drawing conclusions from offender demographics in the sentencing dataset, noting that judges base individual sentences on myriad factors that are not available to the public.
