District attorneys
Generally, under current law, a county selects its own district attorney, but the district attorney and deputy and assistant district attorneys are state employees. DOA provides administrative assistance to district attorney offices. This bill transfers the administrative assistance duties to DOJ.
Current law requires the district attorney of Milwaukee County and the district attorney of another county, as selected by DOC, each to assign one assistant district attorney to be a restorative justice coordinator (coordinator). Each coordinator must establish a program to provide support to victims of crime, help reintegrate the victims into community life, and provide a forum to: allow offenders to meet with the victims or engage in other activities to discuss the impact of their crimes, explore potential restorative responses by the offenders, and provide methods to reintegrate the offenders into community life. The coordinators must assist other district attorneys in establishing similar programs in other counties. The coordinators must keep data regarding the time spent, the number of victims and offenders served, the types of offenses, the program addresses, and the rate of recidivism. DOA must maintain the data that the coordinators gather.
These requirements expire on June 30, 2005. This bill repeals the statutes that create the requirements.
