including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
—Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
—Minimize the burden of the collection
of information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms
of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of this information:
(1) Type of information collection:
New data collection, Survey of Juveniles
Charged in Adult Criminal Court
(SJCACC) 2013.
(2) The title of the form/collection:
Survey of Juveniles Charged in Adult
Criminal Court or SJCACC, 2013.
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form labels are SJCACC–2013,
Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of
Justice Programs, U.S. Department of
Justice.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: State Courts. Abstract: The
SJCACC (SJCACC) project will collect
accurate and reliable case processing
statistics for youth under 18 charged as
adults in a nationally representative
sample. It will obtain data on
demographics of the juvenile, charge
information, and method of arrival in
adult court (jurisdictional age laws vs.
through a transfer mechanism).
Adjudication outcomes such as
dismissal, guilty plea, and outcome at
trial will also be collected, as will
sentencing data for those convicted.
Fingerprint IDs will be obtained to
allow for future recidivism studies and
linking with criminal history data.
When available, state-wide data will be
collected, allowing for some state-bystate comparisons. Juveniles who were
transferred to adult court will be
oversampled, thus allowing for analyses
of the use of different transfer methods.
Please see Cost to Federal Government
for the financial responsibility
associated with the issuance of this
report.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that information
will be collected on a total of 12,000
felony and misdemeanor defendants
from a nationally representative sample
that includes states and counties. The
estimated burden hours will be
contingent upon the state and counties

electronic storage and transfer
capabilities, with data collection
occurring in a more timely and
expeditious manner among respondents
with the capacities to electronically
transfer all their case processing
information to the data collection agent.
It is estimated 13 states will provide
unformatted electronic data files and it
should take an average of 56 hours per
state. For those 12 states that provide a
non-uniform extract, it should take an
average of 32 hours, and those 3 states
providing a uniform extract will spend
on average 80 hours. For the remainder
of the nation in which electronic data is
not readily available, a sample will be
drawn. Eighteen PSUs will be chosen,
with approximately 10 responding
counties in each PSU. It is estimated
that 12 PSUs will have 18 counties with
electronic data systems, with an average
burden of 12 hours. It is estimated that
six PSUs will have nine counties
requiring sampling for paper or
electronic surveys. An estimated 40
surveys will be required for each of
these counties, with an average burden
of two hours per survey. It is estimated
that 22 states will provide summary
statistics of their data, which will be
used for weighting and validity checks.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
associated for the SJCACC data
collection is a total of 2,310 hours for all
of the responding states and counties.
