Overview of this information
collection:
(1) Type of information collection:
New data collection, Survey of Juveniles
Charged in Adult Criminal Court
(SJCACC) 2014.
(2) The title of the form/collection:
Survey of Juveniles Charged in Adult
Criminal Court or SJCACC, 2014.

and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form labels are SJCACC—2014,

Justice Programs, U.S. Department of

(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

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 62 hours per
state. For those 12 states that provide a
non-uniform extract, it should take an
average of 43 hours, and those 3 states
providing a uniform extract will spend
on average 82 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 14 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 2,571 hours for all
of the responding states and counties.

(4) Affected public who will be asked
to respond, as well as a brief abstract:
This information collection is a census
of the local prosecutor offices that
handles criminal cases in State courts.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS)
proposes to implement the next
iteration of the National Survey of
Prosecutors (NSP–14). Local prosecutors
occupy a central role in a criminal
justice system seeking to ensure justice
is served. Prosecutors represents the
local government in deciding who is
charged with a crime, the type and
number of charges filed, whether or not
to offer a plea, and providing sentencing
recommendations for those convicted of
crimes. Since 1990, the NSP has been
the only recurring national statistical
program that captures the
administrative and operational
characteristics of the prosecutorial
function in the State criminal justice
system. The NSP–14 will gather
national statistics on local prosecutor
office staffing and services, budgets,
caseloads and convictions, use of DNA
evidence, and disposition reporting to
repositories. In addition, this study will
collect data on the prevalence of human
trafficking, cyber-crimes, identity theft,
participation in specialty courts and
diversion programs, prosecution of
youths in criminal courts and criminal
jurisdiction services provided on tribal
lands by local prosecutor offices. These
data will allow BJS to conduct trend
analyses and comparisons with
historical data, where available and
provide descriptive statistics on
emerging crimes. The information
gathered in the NSP–14 will cover 2014.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
needed for an average respondent to
respond: An estimated 2,330 persecutor
offices will take part in the 2014
National Survey of Prosecutors. Based
on pilot testing, an average of 60
minutes per respondent was needed to
complete form NSP–14. To ensure a
high response rate, BJS subsequently
reduced the overall number of questions
on the NSP–14 by half. The revised
estimated burden for respondents to
complete the NSP–14 is 30 minutes. The
following factors were considered when
creating the burden estimate: The
estimated total number of prosecutor
offices, the ability of offices to access or
