Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics The National Justice Agency List is a master name and address file created and maintained by the United States Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The file was first created in 1970, and the Census Bureau has continued to maintain and expand the file. For the original survey, each county in the United States and each municipality and township with a 1960 population of 1,000 or more persons was surveyed to identify the names and addresses of the criminal justice agencies and institutions controlled by local government. The survey was conducted by mail canvass. In addition to the mail survey, the Census Bureau collected information on state-level governments and counties with a 1960 population of 500,000 or more and cities with a 1960 population of 300,000 or more through in-house research methods. The reference information included a variety of published government documents such as budget statements, organization manuals, and state, county, and municipal directories.

The new FJSRC linking system, implemented with the 2008 FJSRC data, includes sets of agency dyad linked files created by improved methods of algorithmic matching. There are both inter-agency linked files and intra-agency dyad linked files. The inter-agency matched pair files (or "dyads") permit the linking of records from two different source agencies for adjacent stages of federal case processing by providing a crosswalk of the agency-specific key ID variables for the two agency data files in the pair. These agency ID variables (sequential ID numbers) may be used to link records from one agency's standard analysis file (SAF) to the next. The system enables users to track individual defendant-cases through stages of the federal criminal justice system (from arrest to prosecution, adjudication, sentencing, and corrections) sequentially, one agency dyad pair at a time. Each inter-agency paired linked file relates the sequential record numbers (i.e. SEQ_NUM) included in the SAFs from one agency/stage to another. The intra-agency matched pair files (also dyads) permit the same type of linking as described above except that the linkages are within the same federal agency. The linkages are to different stages of case processing withing a particular agency. The system covers all data years from 1994-2023. These data are part of a series designed by the Urban Institute (Washington, D.C.) and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Data and documentation were prepared by the Urban Institute through 2012. Data from 2013 and on were prepared by Abt Associates.

This dataset contains 200,000 rows of arraignment records from a metropolitan court system.

It includes demographic details (age, gender), criminal history (prior arrests, convictions), offense severity, charge type, arraignment decisions (bail, detention, release), and final court outcomes.

Sensitive attributes such as race and zip code have been intentionally excluded to prevent direct discrimination.

This study includes a synthetically-generated version of the Ministry of Justice Data First cross-justice system linking dataset. Synthetic versions of all 43 tables in the MoJ Data First data ecosystem have been created. These versions can be used / joined in the same way as the real datasets. As well as underpinning training, synthetic datasets should enable researchers to explore research questions and to design research proposals prior to submitting these for approval. The code created during this exploration and design process should then enable initial results to be obtained as soon as data access is granted.

The cross-justice system linking datasets allows users to join up information from data sources across the justice system (courts, prisons, probation) and should be used in conjunction with other datasets shared as part of the Data First Programme.

Records relating to individual justice system users can be linked using unique identifiers provided for people involved. This connects people involved in different parts of the criminal justice system or that have interacted with the civil or family courts. This allows for longitudinal analysis and investigation of repeat appearances and interactions with multiple justice services, which will increase understanding around users, their pathways and outcomes.

This dataset does not itself contain information about people or their interactions with the justice system, but acts as a lookup to identify where records in other datasets are believed to relate to the same person, using our probabilistic record linkage package, Splink.

The person link table contains rows with references to all records in the individual datasets that have been linked to date plus new identifiers, generated in the linking process, which enables these records to be grouped and linked across the datasets.

Datasets currently linkable using this dataset are:

• Ministry of Justice Data First magistrates’ court defendant - England and Wales
• Ministry of Justice Data First Crown Court defendant - England and Wales
• Ministry of Justice Data First prisoner custodial journey - England and Wales
• Ministry of Justice Data First probation- England and Wales
• Ministry of Justice Data First family court - England and Wales
• Ministry of Justice Data First civil court - England and Wales

It is expected that this table will be extended to include more datasets in future.

The case link table links cases between the criminal courts only (for example identifying cases that began in the magistrates' court and have been committed to the Crown Court for trial or sentence, or on appeal). This allows users to follow cases from start to finish and prevent double counting.

This data builds on the Harvard Criminal Justice Debt Initiative dataset for North Carolina by providing a history of the fines and surcharges associated with each legal statute. Where available, fines and surcharges are documented for when they increased and the amount they increased as well as the "fund" that the fines, fees, or surcharges were deposited in.

The data contain records of defendants in criminal cases terminated in United States District Court during fiscal year 2001. The data were constructed from the Administrative Office of the United States District Courts' (AOUSC) criminal file. Defendants in criminal cases may be either individuals or corporations. There is one record for each defendant in each case filed. Included in the records are data from court proceedings and offense codes for up to five offenses charged at the time the case was filed. (The most serious charge at termination may differ from the most serious charge at case filing, due to plea bargaining or action of the judge or jury.) In a case with multiple charges against the defendant, a "most serious" offense charge is determined by a hierarchy of offenses based on statutory maximum penalties associated with the charges. The data file contains variables from the original AOUSC 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 4.1-4.5 and 5.1-5.6. 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.

The data contain records of arrests and bookings for federal offenses in the United States during fiscal year 2005. The data were constructed from the United States Marshals Service (USMS) Prisoner Tracking System database. Records include arrests made by federal law enforcement agencies (including the USMS), state and local agencies, and self-surrenders. Offenders arrested for federal offenses are transferred to the custody of the USMS for processing, transportation, and detention. The Prisoner Tracking System contains data on all offenders within the custody of the USMS. The data file contains variables from the original USMS 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 1.1-1.3. 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.
