Federal Justice Statistics Program: Suspects in Federal Criminal Matters Concluded, 2010

The data contain records of suspects in federal criminal matters concluded by United States attorneys or United States magistrates during fiscal year 2010. The data were constructed from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) Central System file. Records include suspects in criminal matters, and are limited to suspects whose matters were not declined immediately by the United States attorneys. 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, Tables 1.2-1.5. 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2010财年期间，由美国联邦检察官（United States Attorneys）或美国治安法官（United States Magistrates）办结的联邦刑事案件涉案人员记录。数据集基于美国联邦检察官办公室（Executive Office for United States Attorneys，缩写EOUSA）中央系统文件构建。收录的涉案人员记录仅涵盖未被美国联邦检察官直接驳回案件的嫌疑人。据EOUSA统计，美国联邦检察官承办的公诉案件约占美国司法部（Department of Justice）总办案量的95%。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——即"SAF"变量。此类SAF变量与《联邦司法统计汇编》（Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics）中表1.2至1.5所披露的统计数据相关。为保护个人身份，所有包含识别信息的变量（如姓名、社会保险号（Social Security Number））均已替换为空值，日期字段中的日期部分也已完成脱敏处理。本数据集是城市研究所（Urban Institute，华盛顿特区）与美国司法统计局（Bureau of Justice Statistics）联合开发的系列数据集之一，数据集及相关文档均由城市研究所编制完成。
