AB This data collection effort was undertaken to determine whether accurate and comprehensive pretrial data can be collected at the local level and subsequently aggregated at the state and federal levels. The data contained in this collection provide a picture of felony defendants' movements through the criminal courts. The 1992-1993 National Pretrial Reporting Program database includes cases filed in May 1992 that were tracked through April 1993. Offenses were recoded into 15 broad categories that conformed to the Bureau of Justice Statistics' crime definitions. Other variables include sex, race, age, prior criminal record, relationship to the criminal justice system at the time of the offense, pretrial release, detention decisions, court appearances, pretrial rearrest, adjudication, and sentencing. The unit of analysis is the defendant.
