Abstract
This report details how felony cases are processed in New York State's superior courts (Criminal Procedure Law 10.10 and 10.20) and its publication fulfils the statutory reporting requirements outlined in Section 837-a of Executive Law requiring the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) to collect and analyze statistical information on felony indictments, superior court informations (SCI) and the dispositions of felony cases.
Information about the processing of these felony cases is presented for New York State and its two regions: New York City and the Rest of State (the 57 counties outside of the five boroughs). Arrest and arraignment statistics also are included for the entire state and each region. Individual county specific reports are provided to each District Attorney's office, the New York City Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor (OSNP), and the Office of the Attorney General, and are available to the public upon request.
The data included in this report is derived from New York State's criminal history records database, which is maintained by DCJS and is known as the Computerized Criminal History (CCH) system. CCH includes information about adult arrests for offenses that require fingerprints to be taken (Criminal Procedure Law 160.10). Misdemeanor arrests involving youth ranging in age from 13 to 17 are not included where the arrest does not require fingerprints to be taken by the arresting agency. Arrest information is submitted to DCJS by police agencies as part of the fingerprint transaction and disposition information is electronically transmitted to DCJS by the Office of Court Administration.
