Federal Justice Statistics Program datasets are now available

BJS has released 28 Federal Justice Statistics Program (FJSP) studies, including 18 FJSP 2023 datasets and 10 FJSP Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) datasets for 2018–2022. They are available 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 persons under supervision (i.e., probation, supervised release, or parole) and persons in prison.

The FJSP 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.
