The purpose of this study was to examine whether the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Investigative Interview Protocol impacted child sexual abuse case outcomes within the justice system. The researchers coded information from child protection and police reports, Children's Justice Center (CJC) intake forms, and the CJC electronic database to create a dataset on 1,280 alleged child sexual abuse cases involving children interviewed in Salt Lake County, Utah, between 1994 and 2000. Specifically, the research team gathered case characteristics and case outcomes data on 551 alleged child sexual abuse cases in which investigative interviews were conducted from 1994 to
mid-September 1997 before the NICHD protocol was implemented, and 729 alleged child sexual abuse cases in which investigative interviews were conducted from mid-September 1997 to 2000 after the implementation of the NICHD protocol, so that pre-NICHD protocol and NICHD protocol interview case outcomes could be compared. The same police detectives conducted both the pre-NICHD protocol interviews and the NICHD protocol interviews. The dataset contains a total of 116 variables pertaining to cases of suspected child abuse. The major categories of variables include demographic data on the suspected child victim and on the suspected perpetrator, on case characteristics, on case outcomes, and on time delays.

Bhati, Avinash Singh
The purpose of the study was to quantify the effect of the embrace of DNA technology on offender behavior. In particular, researchers examined whether an offender's knowledge that their DNA profile was entered into a database deterred them from offending in the future and if probative effects resulted from DNA sampling. The researchers coded information using criminal history records and data from Florida's DNA database, both of which are maintained by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), and also utilized court docket information acquired through the Florida Department of Corrections (FDOC) to create a dataset of 156,702 cases involving offenders released from the FDOC in the state of Florida between January 1996 and December 2004. The data contain a total of 50 variables. Major categories of variables include demographic variables regarding the offender, descriptive variables relating to the initial crime committed by the offender, and time-specific variables regarding cases of recidivism.

Miethe, Terance D.; McCorkle, Richard C.
In response to several high profile, violent crimes by
minority males, which were reported by law enforcement officials as
being gang-related, Nevada lawmakers enacted an array of anti-gang
legislation, much of it drafted by law enforcement personnel. This
study attempted to provide answers to the following research
questions: (1) How often and under what specific conditions were the
various anti-gang statutes used in the prosecution of gang members?
(2) How had the passage of anti-gang statutes and the development of
the gang prosecution units influenced the use of more conventional
charging practices related to gang cases? and (3) Did specialized gang
prosecution produce higher rates of convictions, more prison
sentences, and longer prison terms for gang offenders? Court
monitoring data were collected from both Clark and Washoe counties to
document the actual extent and nature of gang crime in both
jurisdictions over several years. Variables include the year of the
court case, whether the defendant was a gang member, total number of
initial charges, whether all charges were dismissed before trial,
whether the defendant was convicted of any charge, the length of the
prison sentence imposed, whether the defendant was charged with a gang
enhancement statute, and whether the defendant was charged with
murder, sexual assault, robbery, kidnapping, burglary, auto theft,
larceny, a drug offense, a weapon offense, or assault. Demographic
variables include the race, sex, and age of the defendant.

Roman, John; Walsh, Kelly
This study examined the results of new DNA testing of old physical evidence from 634 sexual assault and homicide cases resulting in 715 convictions that took place in Virginia between 1973 and 1988. The research team conducted a retrospective study using data collected from the Virginia Department of Forensic Science files, visits to three Virginia county courthouses, and the COUNTY STATISTICS FILE 1 (CO-STAT): [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 8314) to estimate the rate at which defendants are wrongly convicted and to identify case attributes associated with such wrongful convictions.
