(20 ILCS 5025/5)
Sec. 5. Purpose. The purpose of this Act is to determine a practical method for the standardized collection and analysis of data on the racial and ethnic identity of arrestees by State and local law enforcement agencies. The method shall be usable not only for the collection and analysis of data on the racial and ethnic identity of arrestees under current law, but also in predicting the likely racial and ethnic identity of arrestees under proposed changes to the Criminal Code of 1961, the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, and the Unified Code of Corrections.
