Abstract
The datasets present national statistics describing all aspects of processing in the Federal criminal justice system, including investigations by United States attorneys, prosecutions and declinations, pretrial release and detention, convictions and acquittals, sentencing, appeals, and corrections. The FJSP database is compiled from annual data extracts from the ongoing case management files of Federal criminal justice agencies. Participating agencies include the Administrative Office of United States Courts, Executive Office for United States Attorneys, Federal Bureau of Prisons, United States Sentencing Commission, and Federal Judicial Center.
