Pretrial data visualized for comparison. Figures shown are illustrative reference series pending publication of each county's verified reporting; methodology notes accompany every chart.
Failure-to-appear rate by release type
Percentage of released defendants who missed at least one scheduled appearance. Definitions of 'failure to appear' vary by county reporting system.
Method note: rates are not risk-adjusted. Release type is assigned by the court, so populations differ systematically in charge severity and criminal history. Do not read these lines as a causal comparison.
