STATISTICS ON INDICTMENTS AND FELONY PROSECUTIONS IN NEW YORK STATE FOR THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF 1977 ARE PRESENTED IN THE 16TH IN A SERIES OF REGULAR QUARTERLY REPORTS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW.

Abstract

THE DATA INCLUDE BOTH DEFENDANT INDICTMENTS AND DEFENDANT-INDICTMENT CASES THAT WERE DISPOSED OF FROM JANUARY THROUGH SEPTEMBER 1977. BECAUSE CONVICTIONS ARE NOT REPORTED UNTIL THE TIME OF SENTENCING, THE LATTER CATEGORY REFERS TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF CASES: DEFENDANT-INDICTMENT CONVICTIONS AND SENTENCES DURING THE REPORT PERIOD; DEFENDANT-INDICTMENT CONVICTIONS DURING A PREVIOUS PERIOD WITH SENTENCE NOT RENDERED UNTIL THE REPORT PERIOD; AND DISPOSITIONS OTHER THAN CONVICTION DURING THE REPORT PERIOD. SEPARATE SECTIONS ON FELONY ARRESTS, INDICTMENTS, DISPOSITIONS, AND FELONY DEFENDANT PROCESSING TIMES FOCUS ON THREE MAJOR GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS OF THE STATE: NEW YORK CITY, SUBURBAN NEW YORK CITY, AND UPSTATE NEW YORK. BRIEF NARRATIVE EXPLANATIONS ACCOMPANY EACH GROUP OF STATISTICS. STATISTICAL HIGHLIGHTS ARE SUMMARIZED, WITH REFERENCES TO THE APPROPRIATE TABLES. APPENDED MATERIALS INCLUDE STATISTICS ON INDICTMENTS AND DISPOSITIONS BY COUNTY, STATISTICS ON FELONY AND DRUG DEFENDANT PROCESSING FLOW AND PROCESSING TIMES BY JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT, AND A COPY OF THE FORM USED TO GATHER THE DATA.
