Abstract: The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) proposes a new data collection from large jurisdictions, the National Pretrial Reporting Program (NPRP). The NPRP project will collect felony data to, at a minimum, replicate the Felony Defendants in Large Urban Counties report series based on data collected from the State Court Processing Statistics program (SCPS; OMB control number 1121-0306, expired 7/31/2013), formerly known as the National Pretrial Reporting Program series. BJS conducted the NPRP biennially from 1988 to 1994 and continued with SCPS from 1996 to 2006 with a final collection in 2009. Recognizing that most courts were implementing computerized case management systems, BJS solicited a redesign of the data collection methodology for State Court Processing Statistics (SCPS; OMB control number 1121-0306, expired 7/31/2013) from 2009 to 2011, to determine the feasibility of collecting the data via computer extracts requested directly from state courts.
