Pretrial Failure Among New York City Defendants

Publication year: 2009 | Cataloged on: Mar. 26, 2009
ANNOTATION: The development of a risk assessment instrument that predicts both failure to appear and pretrial re-arrest is explained. This brief covers: plan of analysis; selected characteristics of defendants in the sample; predicting pretrial failure; developing a failure risk classification system; comparing the failure risk classification system with the ROR (release-on-recognizance) recommendation system; summary and conclusion; and implications. The failure risk classification system shows a direct relationship between failure to appear and risk of rearrest.
