Federal Justice Statistics Program: Criminal Appeals Cases Filed in Courts of Appeals, 2010

The data contain records of criminal appeals cases filed in United States Courts of Appeals during fiscal year 2010. The data were constructed from the Administrative Office of the United States Courts' (AOUSC) Court of Appeals file. These contain variables on the nature of the criminal appeal, the underlying offense, and the disposition of the appeal. An appeal can be filed by the government or the offender, and the appellant can appeal the sentence, the verdict, or both sentence and verdict. The data file contains variables from the original AOUSC files as well as additional analysis variables. Variables containing identifying information (e.g., name, Social Security number) were either removed, coarsened, or blanked 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 through 2012. Data from 2013 on were prepared by Abt Associates. The 2009-2012 Federal Justice Statistics Program: Criminal Appeals Cases Filed in Courts of Appeals data and the 2011-2012 Federal Justice Statistics Program: Criminal Appeals Cases in Courts of Appeals - Terminated data were also prepared by Abt Associates.本数据集收录了2010财年美国联邦上诉法院（United States Courts of Appeals）受理的刑事上诉案件记录。本数据集基于美国法院行政办公室（Administrative Office of the United States Courts, AOUSC）的上诉法院档案构建而成，包含刑事上诉性质、原审罪名以及上诉处理结果相关的变量。上诉可由政府或被告人提起，上诉人可就量刑、定罪判决或二者同时提出上诉。本数据文件既包含AOUSC原始档案中的变量，也包含额外的分析变量。为保护个人身份信息，所有包含识别信息（如姓名、社会保险号）的变量均已被删除、粗化处理或置空。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）联合设计的系列数据之一。截至2012年的数据及配套文档均由城市研究所编制；2013年及之后的数据则由Abt Associates编制。《2009-2012联邦司法统计计划：上诉法院受理刑事上诉案件》数据集以及《2011-2012联邦司法统计计划：上诉法院已办结刑事上诉案件》数据集亦由Abt Associates编制。
