Federal Justice Statistics Program: Suspects in Federal Criminal Matters, 2018

The data contain records of suspects in federal criminal matters received by United States attorneys or filed before the United States magistrates during fiscal year 2018. 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 Charge and Central System data contain variables from the original EOUSA 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 Abt and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Data and documentation were prepared by Abt.

本数据集收录2018财年期间，由美国检察官接收的联邦刑事案件嫌疑人记录，或在美国治安法官处立案的联邦刑事案件嫌疑人记录。本数据集基于美国检察官办公室（Executive Office for United States Attorneys, EOUSA）中央系统文件构建而成。所收录的刑事案件嫌疑人记录，均为未被美国检察官直接驳回立案的案件相关嫌疑人。据美国检察官办公室披露，美国检察官承办的公诉案件约占美国司法部处理案件总量的95%。中央指控与中央系统数据集包含原始EOUSA文件中的变量，以及额外新增的分析变量。为保护个人身份信息，所有包含可识别身份的变量（如姓名、社会保障号）均已被移除、模糊化处理或留空。本数据集为Abt公司与美国司法统计局（Bureau of Justice Statistics）联合设计的系列数据集之一。数据集及相关文档均由Abt公司编制完成。
