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.
