Federal Law Enforcement Agency Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (FDCRP), [United States], 2016

The Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2013 (DICRA) requires the head of each federal law enforcement agency to submit to the U.S. attorney general, information about the death of any person who is detained, under arrest, or in the process of being arrested by a federal law enforcement officer (or by a state or local law enforcement officer while participating in a federal law enforcement operation, task force, or other capacity) being transported to, incarcerated at, or detained at any facility (including immigration or juvenile facilities) pursuant to a contract with a federal law enforcement agency, state or local government facility used by a federal law enforcement agency, or federal correctional or pre-trial detention facility located within the United States (Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2013, P.L. 113-242). The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) created the Federal Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (FDCRP) to collect the data required of federal law enforcement agencies. Federal law enforcement agencies are surveyed on an annual basis about deaths that fall under the scope of DICRA. This data collection includes the 2016 Arrest-Related Death Incident Report (CJ-13A) data and the 2016 Detention/Incarceration Incident Report (CJ-13B) data.

《2013年羁押死亡报告法案》（Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2013, DICRA）规定，各联邦执法机构负责人须向美国司法部长提交相关信息，涵盖以下人员的死亡情况：被联邦执法官员羁押、逮捕或正在被逮捕过程中的人员，或是在参与联邦执法行动、专项工作组或其他履职场景时由州或地方执法官员管控的人员；前述人员需处于以下任一场所内：根据与联邦执法机构签订的合同设立的场所（含移民或青少年管教场所）、联邦执法机构使用的州或地方政府场所，或是美国境内的联邦惩戒或审前羁押场所（《2013年羁押死亡报告法案》，公法113-242，P.L. 113-242）。美国司法统计局（Bureau of Justice Statistics, BJS）设立联邦羁押死亡报告项目（Federal Deaths in Custody Reporting Program, FDCRP），用于采集联邦执法机构需提交的法定数据。联邦执法机构每年需接受针对符合该法案管辖范围的死亡事件的年度专项调研，本次数据采集包含《2016年逮捕相关死亡事件报告表》（CJ-13A）与《2016年羁押/关押事件报告表》（CJ-13B）的相关数据。
