Abstract
Tables report statistics on convicted and suspected misdemeanants in terms of offense, location, and offender characteristics (sex, age, and previous record). Also included are statistics on juveniles convicted and suspected of public nuisance and traffic offenses. Sentencing data are given on penalties for misdemeanors (incarceration, reform school, detention, and probation) as well as on penalties in the lesser offense category. The bulk of the documents consists of tables.
