Data on Adjudication of Misdemeanor Offenses—Results From a Feasibility Study
Published by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), this report describes BJS’s efforts to determine whether it is possible to gather reliable national data on misdemeanor charges filed in state, county, and municipal courts—currently reflecting a substantial gap in criminal justice statistics. BJS undertook a feasibility study, focused on large metropolitan areas, to assess the availability and quality of case-level data on misdemeanor charges filed in state, county, and municipal courts. BJS will use the findings of this study to help determine whether a more extensive data collection would yield national estimates.
