, 9/99. Summarizes the technical work underlying the conclusions of the Interagency Working Group on Federal Criminal Case Processing Statistics. NCJ 171680
This BJS document was prepared by an interagency working group (composed of representatives from Federal criminal justice agencies) tasked to reconcile differences in Federal criminal case processing statistics. The document identifies and describes the major differences in the way Federal criminal justice agencies collect, tabulate, and report criminal case processing events. These differences include scope of coverage (i.e. the universe of cases reported during a given period) and definitional differences of commonly reported criminal case processing statistics.
