Abstract

THE TWO MAJOR FILES IN FOCUS ARE THE OFFENDER MASTER AND THE OFFENSE/PVT (PAROLE VIOLATION TERM). THE RECORDS IN THE MASTER FILE CONTAIN INFORMATION ON IDENTIFICATION, MEDICAL HANDICAPS, EDUCATION, VOCATION, IN-COMMUNITY STATUS, AND MOVEMENTS OF THE OFFENDER THROUGH CORRECTIONS AND PAROLE. FOR EACH OFFENDER RECORD IN THE MASTER FILE, THERE ARE RECORDS IN THE OFFENSE/PVT FILE WHICH CONTAIN CONVICTION AND SENTENCING INFORMATION FOR EACH OFFENSE AND VIOLATION THE OFFENDER HAS BEEN CONVICTED FOR SINCE HIS FIRST ADMISSION TO THE CORRECTIONS DIVISION. DATA ELEMENTS FOUND IN THE MASTER RECORD ARE DOCUMENTED IN PART A OF THIS DICTIONARY. ELEMENTS RELATING TO OFFENSE/ PVT FILE ARE FOUND IN PART B. ELEMENTS RELATING TO PAROLE VIOLATION TERM RECORDS IN THE OFFENSE/PVT FILE ARE FOUND IN PART C. FOR A FOCUS USER'S MANUAL, SEE NCJ-39895....TWH
