State Court Processing Statistics, 1990-2009: Felony Defendants in Large Urban Counties
Originally known as the National Pretrial Reporting
Program, the State Court Processing Statistics (SCPS) program tracks
felony cases filed in May of a given year until final disposition or
until one year has elapsed from the date of filing. This collection
presents data on felony cases filed in approximately 40 of the
nation's 75 most populous counties in even numbered years from
1990-2006 and 2009. These 75 counties account for more than a third of the
United States population and approximately half of all reported
crimes. The cases from these 40 jurisdictions are weighted to
represent all felony filings during the month of May in the 75 most
populous counties. Data were collected on arrest charges, demographic
characteristics, criminal history, pretrial release and detention,
adjudication, and sentencing.
