Abstract
Statistics from 103 sources are compiled in six groupings: characteristics of the criminal justice system, public attitudes toward crime and criminal-justice-related topics, nature and distribution of known offenses, characteristics and distribution of persons arrested, judicial processing of defendants, and persons under correctional supervision. Tables and figures for 1983 are cross-referenced with their 1982 edition counterparts, and a subject index is furnished. The appendixes present definitions and methodology for easier comparison between sources. An annotated bibliography of sources is also included, along with a list of the publishers of source documents and their addresses. (Author abstract)
