The data used to conduct the adult analysis originated from the Pretrial Services Agency. The data used to conduct the juvenile analysis originated from the District of Columbia Court System; a small number of cases were removed from the juvenile analysis to ensure compliance with data suppression requirements.  

Based on the analysis, during the respective time frames, most adults charged with a violent offense and about half of juveniles charged with a violent offense were securely detained after their initial appearance in court. The nature of the violent offenses included burglary and robbery as well as aggravated assault and homicide.
