"Failure to appear (FTA) rates in the U.S. can be as high as 25-30% depending on jurisdiction and type of offense. These failures to appear are costly for the criminal justice system as they can lead to inefficient use of time and resources, and FTA can also be costly for defendants by leading to additional court dates, enhanced penalties, and even collateral consequences such as suddenly missing work while detained on the FTA charge (even though the original offense did not result in a detention). What’s more, minorities are more likely to fail to appear than Whites, raising a race justice situation. Might it be possible to reduce FTA via a simple intervention?"
About NIC SearchThe National Institute of Corrections is targeted toward an adult audience, though it is available for any internet user. NIC does not provide search result filtering, so terms that may trigger some individuals may appear in search results. You can manually remove key words you don't want to appear in your results by using the minus sign modifier before a word, for example: -handcuffs Using the "-" dash or minus character immediately before a word in the search box will remove any search result containing that term. You may use as many search terms and removed words as you would like in the search box. |
