Presents findings from the 2001 National Survey of Prosecutors, which was a census of all 2,341 prosecutors’ offices that tried felony cases in State courts of general jurisdiction. The study summarizes the number of professionals and support staff employed and the size of budget. Prosecutors responded as to whether they had prosecuted computer crime, had used DNA evidence, and whether they were employed full or part time. Other survey data include special categories of felony offenses prosecuted, types of nonfelony cases handled, number of felony cases closed, number of felony convictions, number of juvenile cases proceeded against in criminal court, and work-related threats or assaults against staff.
