The Prevalence of Local Criminal Justice Practices

Volume 84 Number 1
Date: 
June 2020
Abstract: 

To date, there has been no systematic effort to estimate the extent to which various pretrial practices have been adopted by jurisdictions across the United States. The results presented by the authors here address that deficiency, presenting a nationally representative look at the adoption of more than four dozen practices that affect pretrial populations across local criminal justice systems in the United States.
