Abstract
The Federal Justice Statistics Program (FJSP) was created by the Bureau of Justice Statistics more than 20 years ago as a clearinghouse for federal criminal case processing data. This session considers the utility of the administrative data collected as a part of the FJSP for evidence building on topics ranging from the measurement of extra-legal disparity in sentencing decisions to recidivism in the federal justice system and profiling drug offenders in federal prison.
