Data Collection: National Survey of Indigent Defense Systems
Conducted during 1999-2000, represented the first systematic study of indigent criminal defense services by BJS since the 1980s. The study collected indigent criminal defense data at the trial level for 1) the 100 most populous counties in the United States, 2) 197 counties outside the 100 most populous counties, and 3) States that entirely funded criminal indigent defense services. Information obtained includes number of program staff, program expenditures, and types of cases received by indigent criminal defense programs.
