BJS has released 18 datasets from the Federal Justice Statistics Program (FJSP) for 2022 through the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data. The FJSP covers seven stages of federal criminal case processing:
-
Arrest refers to the arrest of a suspect by a federal law enforcement agency.
-
Prosecution refers to the investigation of criminal matters.
-
Pretrial release includes the release and detention of defendants before adjudication.
-
Adjudication covers the criminal court proceedings through case disposition.
-
Sentencing covers sentences imposed on convicted defendants.
-
Appeals covers cases filed and terminated on appeal.
-
Corrections includes offenders under supervision (i.e., probation, supervised release, or parole) and offenders in prison.
The program receives source data from the U.S. Marshals Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, U.S. Sentencing Commission, and Federal Bureau of Prisons.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating reliable statistics on crime and criminal justice in the United States. Kevin M. Scott, PhD, is the acting director.
