"The principal data collection method in this project was a prospective analysis of official data that followed criminal cases in five jurisdictions (Los Angeles County; Indianapolis, IN; and the Indiana State Police Laboratory System (Evansville, IN; Fort Wayne, IN; and South Bend;IN) from the time of police incident report to final court disposition. Sites were selected to represent city, county and state crime laboratory services. Data for the analyses were based on a random sample of the population of reported crime incidents for the year 2003, stratified by crime type and jurisdiction. Crime incidents for the year 2003 were used so that cases would have complete data, including final dispositions. A total of 4,205 cases were sampled including 859 aggravated assaults, 1,263 burglaries, 400 homicides, 602 rapes and 1,081 robberies"--Page 2. |

"While the current study shows that forensic evidence can affect case processing decisions, it is not uniform across all crimes and all evidence types; the effects of evidence vary depending upon criminal offense, variety of forensic evidence, the criminal decision level, and other characteristics of the case. The current study attempted to fill this gap in knowledge by examining the role and impact of forensic evidence on five felony crimes across five jurisdictions"--Page 122. |
