Note: Data on the court appearance record for the
current case were available for 99% of cases involving
a defendant released prior to case disposition.
All
defendants who failed to appear in court and were not
returned to the court during the 1-year study period are
counted as fugitives. Some of these defendants may
have been returned to the court at a later date.
Detail may not add to total because of rounding. |
