Judicial Statistics
In: The annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Band 328, Heft 1, S. 94-104
Abstract
Judicial statistics are used by both the sociolo gist and the court administrator. What will satisfy one may be very unsatisfactory to the other. As this issue of THE ANNALS is devoted to the problems of the courts, the discus sion of statistics is centered around their use as a management tool for the court administrator. The history of federal ju dicial statistics is reviewed and a detailed description is given of the statistics that are now collected and published by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. The prob lems that are faced by the statistician who prepares the sta tistics and their interpretation and use by court administrators conclude the article.
