The report provides data on the number of persons arrested, investigated, convicted, and sentenced for a violation of federal law. It includes the number of offenders under federal correctional supervision at the pre-trial and post-conviction stages. It also describes case outcomes, including percent prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced by type of sanction. Data were collected from federal law enforcement, courts, and corrections agencies as a part of the Bureau of Justice Statistics Federal Justice Statistics Program.Federal Criminal Justice Trends

The Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics is an annual report that presents an overview of case processing in the Federal criminal justice system. The statistics reported in the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics will not match statistics reported by Federal criminal justice agencies in their respective published annual reports, for reasons which are cited in the BJS document entitled Comparing Case Processing Statistics. The statistics contained in the Compendia reports are compiled from the Federal Justice Statistics Program (FJSP) database, which includes data from various Federal criminal justice agencies and which has been reconciled according to standards that were agreed upon by an interagency working group composed of these Federal criminal justice agencies (the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the United States Sentencing Commission, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons).Note: BJS did not produce a 1991 Compendium. In addition, Compendium volumes 1990 and earlier are not available on the BJS web site. To obtain hard copies of these, call the Bureau of Justice Statistics Clearinghouse at (800) 732-3277.
