Federal Justice Statistics Program: Defendants Charged in Criminal Cases Filed in District Court, 2007 [United States]

The data contain records of defendants in federal criminal cases filed in United States District Court during fiscal year 2007. The data were constructed from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) Central System file. According to the EOUSA, the United States attorneys conduct approximately 95 percent of the prosecutions handled by the Department of Justice. The Central System data contain variables from the original EOUSA files as well as additional analysis variables, or "SAF" variables, that denote subsets of the data. These SAF variables are related to statistics reported in the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics. Variables containing identifying information (e.g., name, Social Security Number) were replaced with blanks, and the day portions of date fields were also sanitized in order to protect the identities of individuals. These data are part of a series designed by the Urban Institute (Washington, DC) and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Data and documentation were prepared by the Urban Institute.

本数据集收录了2007财年美国联邦地区法院受理的联邦刑事案件被告人相关记录。本数据集基于美国检察官执行办公室（Executive Office for United States Attorneys, EOUSA）中央系统文件构建而成。据EOUSA介绍，美国检察官承办的公诉案件约占美国司法部处理总量的95%。该中央系统数据集包含原始EOUSA文件中的变量，以及用于标识数据集子集的额外分析变量——SAF变量。此类SAF变量与《联邦司法统计汇编》中公布的统计数据相关联。包含身份识别信息的变量（如姓名、社会安全号码）已被替换为空值，同时日期字段中的日份信息也已做脱敏处理，以保护个人身份安全。本数据集是由城市研究所（华盛顿特区）与美国司法统计局联合设计的系列数据集之一。数据集及相关文档均由城市研究所编制完成。
