charge attrition  

Definición

  • Approximately 13 million index crimes (homicide, forcible rape, robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, larceny, and arson) are reported to the police each year, and about 1 million of the offenders in those cases end up in prison or jail. What happens to the other 12 million? Do prosecutors ensure that the 1 million incarcerated are really the ones most deserving of such punishment? These questions are of critical concern to many criminal justice practitioners, scholars, and members of the general public. [Source: Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment; Charge Attrition]
