This document provides a detailed map and analysis of the criminal justice system in New York City. It summarizes key data and decision points from arrest through case processing, including:
- Nearly half of those detained at arraignment remain in pretrial detention.
- Data indicates that jail has a 7% criminogenic effect in New York City.
- 59.8% of defendants with bail set or remand have minimal, low, or moderate risk scores, representing an opportunity for alternatives to pretrial detention.
- There are local variances between boroughs that require situating citywide initiatives within recognition of effective local practices while addressing issues that drive inefficiency or lack of fairness.
1. ā¦ in a broadly inclusive + representative process with
unprecedented participation and cooperation, New York
City has engaged in a deeply descriptive qualitative and
quantitative analysis of the criminal justice system.

The decision to detain at arraignment impacts the life
of a case and drives length of stay. Nearly half of
those detained at arraignment remain in pretrial
detention.
Jail begets jailā¦ within 2-3 days, incarceration contributes to recidivism.
Controlling for all other factors, data indicates jail has a 7%
criminogenic effect in New York City.
In New York City, 59.8% of defendants with bail set or remand (over 22,000
people in 2012) have minimal, low, or moderate risk scores ā a real
opportunity for ROR, supervised release, and alternatives to pretrial
detention (ATD) models which also may favorably impact case outcomes
(highly determined by pretrial detention as demonstrated below).

New York City Redux: 5 Cities in 1
New York City is actually 5 cities in one: each borough (Manhattan, Brooklyn,
Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx) is a separate county. Each borough has
distinct local practices, although all five counties share the local jail, principally
housed on Rikers Island. Although many of the same challenges exist citywide,
local practice suggests different underlying factors drive the use of local jail.
Assessing efforts to improve case processing, enhance justice, and promote
fairness relies on a deep understanding of local variances in practice and the
MacArthur Safety + Justice Challenge system mapping exercise was
instrumental in enhancing our understanding of the ācultureā of each borough
and the reform opportunities availableā¦ and will inform our development of
thoughtful, viable reform mechanisms.
Local variances including a no-plea post-indictment policy in Queens, no
dedicated court part and attorney interview space in Staten Island
arraignments, policies to reduce low-level cases through marijuana reform and
cancellation of warrants in Brooklyn, pilots in pre-arraignment diversion in
Manhattan, and special challenges producing inmates in the Bronx - just a few
examples - require New York to situate citywide initiatives within a recognition
and respect for effective local practices while identifying solutions to local
issues that drive inefficiency or a lack of fairness Other practices, like non-use
of unsecured bond, appear more standardized citywide.

Percentage Point Change in Likelihood of DAT
(Comparison to White)
Arrest are complaint driven, officer-observed, or the result
of investigations. An arresting officer has some discretion
to arrest and whether an arrest could be custodial or desk
appearance tickets (DAT), but a supervising sergeant or
lieutenant verifies the decisions. Some discretion exists in
certain circumstances as to whether to issue a criminal
court summons, a civil or administrative ticket, or a
DAT/custodial arrest (e.g., jumping the subway turnstile).
DATs: DAT eligibility is determined based on NYPD guidance
and policy. In addition to charge ineligibility, suspects are
ineligible for DATs if the case involves domestic violence, or
if the detained individual was under the influence of
alcohol/drugs, lacked identification (12% of detainees), had
prior arrests, violated parole, had 3-5 summonses within
short period of time, failed to cooperate with the police
officer, had warrants in the system, owed DNA to the
database, etc. Some factors, like cooperativeness, may be
subjective. Other factors, like health complications, may
support an otherwise ineligible DAT. At the precinct level,
DAT determinations are aided by a database search, which
a supervisor can overrule or reconsider.
ā¢ High-frequency DAT charges: Petit larceny (155.25),
theft (165.15), drug possession (220.03), and marijuana
possession (221.10).
ā¢ DAT detainees rarely pose a high risk of re-arrest and
pose minimal risk of violent felony offending
ā¢ Persons arraigned on DATs are very rarely detained
unless they fail to appear on their scheduled
arraignment date (22% detained citywide after FTA).
Notably, only 15% of these DATs āreturned on a
warrantā appear before the court as a result of a new
case.
ā¢ Racial + Ethnic Disparities: compared with custodial
arrest, Asians are more likely to receive DATs than
whites, while African- Americans and Latinos are less
likely to get DATs than white suspects.
ā¢ Looking at ACD outcomes to reveal opportunities for
greater use of DATs, one interesting idea, would most
successfully target cases in Brooklyn and Queens,
without prior arrest/convictions, marijuana or property
charges, females, and 16-24 year olds.
Interesting Pilots + Projects
ā¢ Project Reset: very small pilot in Manhattan and Brooklyn
(~20 participants in Manhattan) DAT fast track to divert
adolescents with low-level offenses pre-arraignment.
Eligible candidates are referred to defense attorneys and
attend programs assigned by the court. Adolescents are
released from a precinct with a brochure and DAT. If
complete program, the judge dismisses case without any
appearance in court.
ā¢ Summons Reform: several initiatives in place to address
police encounters that result in summonses for non-
criminal violations. Among other things, a working group is
looking at redesigning the summons appearance ticket to
enhance readability and comprehension, and implementing
reminders via text to improve the failure to appear rate.
ā¢ Technological Improvements: a new initiative seeks to allow
warrant checks in the field. Officers will have tablets or
laptops that allow real-time analytics through the central
data hub and possibly allow for increased DATs and DATs to
be issued in the field.
ā¢ ID Initiative: NYC also expects the DAT rate to rise through
āID Reform,ā i.e., expanding acceptable forms of ID and
opportunities to offer ID as well as making sure that young
people between school and work with no āofficialā ID can
get one or have a meaningful alternative.

Every borough in the city has a process that involves writing up a criminal court accusatory instrument from reports, and sometimes
interviews with complainants. This typically involves review of the available evidence and its legality, as well as a request on bail. In all
boroughs, junior ADAs draft cases with onsite supervision. Paralegals may draft shoplifting and low level cases, which are reviewed by an
ADA. In Queens, many cases declined by the federal government fall into the local prosecutorās hands.
ā¢ Vertical Prosecution: Some boroughs use vertical prosecution (i.e., a single prosecutor handles the case, as opposed to the assembly-
line āhorizontal prosecutionā) in specialized cases. Prosecutors cite vertical prosecution as most effective but least efficient. In the
Bronx, homicides, sex crimes and some others are vertical. Brooklyn leans toward more vertical prosecution, where possible.
ā¢ Upstream/Downstream Time Savings: In some boroughs, like Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, most pre-arraignment communication
with the police officer who prepared the case is done via phone or fax due to high volume and the time pressure of arraigning cases
within 24 hours of arrest. Officers appear prior to arraignment principally on sensitive cases. This may occasion delays in receipt and
production of discovery later on.
ā¢ Adjustment of Charges: On a regular basis, charges are adjusted in the preparation of the criminal court accusatory instrument. The
arrest charges are determined based on the highest charge the police officers believe can be sustained and the prosecutorial review
often results in a modification or reduction of charges.
ā¢ Declination: Some charges may be declined for lack of
evidence or on policy grounds. In the Bronx, the ADA
speaks to a complainant to sustain a charge, including
domestic violence. In Brooklyn, the ADA will not proceed
without speaking to a complainant unless it is a domestic
violence case. Trespass cases and some marijuana cases
may also be reduced or declined in some boroughs, like
Brooklyn and the Bronx, on policy grounds.

In New York City, all defendants who cannot afford a lawyer are assigned counsel prior to arraignment,
which occurs within 24 hours of arrest by statute. In practice, institutional indigent defense providers and
members of the private bar available for court appointments (ā18b counselā) conduct a conflict check and a
financial eligibility check upon meeting their clients in advance of the case arraignment.
Institutional Indigent Defense Providers in New York City:
ā¢ Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem
ā¢ Legal Aid Society
ā¢ New York County Defenders
ā¢ Bronx Defenders
ā¢ Queens Law Associates
ā¢ Brooklyn Defenders
In addition, each borough has a panel of Appointed (ā18bā) Counsel. There is also an 18b Homicide Panel
charged with handling indigent defendants charged with homicides.
In Staten Island, which awaits the imminent opening of a new courthouse, facilities complicate both
assignment of counsel and confidentiality. Without a dedicated arraignment courtroom, or āpart,ā and
without private areas for confidential communications with counsel, attorneys must interview clients
sometimes shoulder-to-shoulder with co-defendants and in the presence of up to half a dozen additional
defendants. In addition, there is a high rate of conflicts of interest which complicates representation.

A significant number of misdemeanor cases are disposed of at
arraignment; some judges noted that it is clear that certain cases are headed for
dismissal. The use of release on recognizance (ROR) is a New York City hallmark:
93% of ROR defendants appear voluntarily within 30 days and 17% warrant rate.
Bail: the DAās bail request is reported to be the single greatest driver of bail set in
New York City. The arraignment process, which typically commences with
determination of possible disposition followed by a prosecutorās bail application,
may enhance this. Citywide, substantial numbers of people do not make bail and
remain detained after arraignment (either until an early release governed by New
York Criminal Procedure Law Ā§Ā§ 170.70 or 180.80 (legal insufficiency) or until
disposition).
The New York bail statute allows for cash and insurance company bond, as well as
unsecured and partially secured personal or third-party surety, and credit card bail
in some cases. These are rarely used by judges. In the Bronx, defense attorneys
report training on alternative bail for courts and counsel in the last five years
without discernible impact. Citywide, moving away from monetary bail has
commenced with increased use of risk assessment and supervised release, which
is rolling out citywide in 2016 after successful pilots in Manhattan and Queens.

Decision-Making:
Release decisions
are most of all
driven by charge

analysis. The CJA

decisions but is not

Timing: In New York City,
arraignment must occur
within 24 hours of arrest
according to law. In some
boroughs, this occurs despite
significant challenges:
despite lower volume in
Staten Island, the lack of a
dedicated arraignment part,

Additional Data Analytics
8. ā¢ Case processing delays contribute to a backlog in court, prolonged
incarceration, and an increase in the jail population. New York law
recommends that cases become trial-ready within six months (roughly 180
days); currently, the average case processing time in New York City is 320
days.
ā¢ The frequency and length of time between adjournments also increases case
processing times. From 2000 - 2014, NYC saw a 61% increase in cases
pending beyond 180 days (from 4246 to 6828). In 2014, Manhattan and the
Bronx accounted for 65% of cases delayed beyond six months.
ā¢ The increase in length of stay for detainees since 1995 was sharpest in the
Bronx (up 108%) and smallest in Staten Island (down 10%). There has been a
31% increase in the Rikers population due to increased case processing time
in Supreme Court Since 1995.

Case Processing Project: New York City is 4 months into an intensive
case processing review involving enhanced focus on a backlog of 1427
cases as well as investigation of systemic issues driving inefficiency,
delay, or other factors contrary to the interests of justice. As of August
2014, NYC successfully reduced 50% of the backlogged cases with a
concomitant reduction in local jail population.
Open File Discovery remains controversial in New York City. Brooklyn
is the only borough that has open file discovery as a standard practice.
Brooklyn prosecutors report some discovery delays due to discovery
not yet produced by the police officers and withhold some sensitive
discovery until late in the case on policy grounds. All other boroughs
lack OFD. Defense attorneys report it would show great compliance
with the interests of justice, aid in speeding case processing, and
promote faster dispositions where appropriate. Prosecutors have
responded that pilot OFD projects donāt demonstrate faster processing
times or reduced motion practice.
Expert + Forensic Discovery is also a significant driver of case
processing delay, particularly cases involving the use of DNA.

For cases that survive arraignment, many dispositions occur on the first
court date after initial arraignment (the 180.80 or 170.70 day) or, with respect
to felonies, prior to supreme court arraignment using a plea instrument called a
Supreme Court Information (SCI) in criminal court before a judge with supreme
court jurisdiction. Some boroughs, like Queens, have a heavy SCI practice as their
best pleas come at the start of the case and there is a no-plea policy after
indictment. Citywide, after indictment, delays in discovery can extend case
processing times even for cases resulting in a plea. Pleas in New York typically
involve a negotiated sentence.
Plea Offers are formulated by the assigned assistant district attorney, with review
by a supervisor or bureau chief. In some boroughs, an ADA with authority to
modify the offer is stationed in the part to promote efficiency. In Queens, cases
proceed post-indictment until they are trial ready due to a no-plea policy.
Diversion was adopted early in NYC and refining and enhancing appropriate
diversion options remains a strong priority. In addition to privately funded
programming, New York City spends $14 million comprehensively funding 15
different programs involving approximately 11,000 intakes in 2014.

ā¢ Diversion was adopted early in NYC and refining
and enhancing appropriate diversion options
remains a strong priority. In addition to privately
funded programming, New York City spends $14
million comprehensively funding 15 different ATI
programs involving approximately 11,000 intakes
in 2014.
ā¢ Probation, Parole, and many directed dispositions
in New York City rely on alternatives to
incarceration to address addiction, mental health,
and other needs.
ā¢ Discharge planning is also mandated for all persons
departing jail with mental health needs under a
consent decree entered in the Brad H. litigation
over a decade ago.
ā¢ Currently, NYC is undergoing a citywide project to
map alternative to incarceration programming to
better match people to appropriate programs, to
identify gaps in services, and to better ensure
fidelity to evidence-based models, an initiative
called āMap the World.ā

Ā
Text is impressive ā but a few issues. Found a few typoās; a couple of quibbles about numbers; and a few policy concerns.
Ā
Typos
In the arrest narrative:
Add the word āareā Ā to ā DAT determinations aidedā (change to āare aidedā) ā everything else has verbs
In the projects description, add an ānā to āencoutersā (spelling)
In the pretrial release narrative:
Under bail statute, āmoving away for money bailā should read āmoving away from money bailā
Under timing, I think āchallenges housingā should read āhousing challengesā
Ā
Data issues
In pretrial release, itās not true that 95% of RORs return voluntarily.Ā We shouldnāt cite the 30-day return rate (which is 93% in the Mary Phillips report) without referencing the overall warrant rate (17% -- 83% return without warrant).Ā
Under arrest data analysis, itās not true that DAT detainees are āoverwhelmingly low riskā ā instead, they rarely pose a high risk of re-arrest and pose minimal risk of violent felony offending.Ā We should not overstate the case.
Ā
Policy issues
The text on āsuccessfully reverse engineering ACD outcomesā is confusing.Ā Not clear what you are talking about.Ā Letās discuss this one.Ā Hard to say this briefly.
The text on advocates report on the structure of arraignments isnāt clear ā
We have no text on dispositions and sentences.Ā Not sure we need any.Ā The biggest missing data item involves sentence alternatives (ATIās; problem solving courts; DA-run programs like DTAP and TASC in Queens).Ā There are big numbers here, but they are not routinely tracked.Ā We should mention this ā as part of a push to get OCA to record it.
Love the addition of probation and parole numbers.Ā Weāve previously looked at jailed probation violators and found that the fast majority have a new pending felony ā often linked to the violation.Ā We might comment on the need for information about the numbers jailed due to technical violations alone (rare) and recidivism 9the majority.Ā Under parole, the missing info has to do with returns to prison for technical violations alone (very common) or for re-arrest.Ā The technical violations may be driving the 600 jail beds devoted to parole violators.Ā We need a better understanding of the overlap between detained parole violators and open OCA cases (will be getting this from OCA in the new file).Ā The technical violators may be a jail reduction opportunity.
I agree. The map is incredibly impressive. Nice work!
Ā
I think it might be possible to more crisply drive home the point you want to make about why New York should be awarded the implementation grant ā I think it might be possible for a reader to miss your point that inclusiveness is something unique to NYC. Iām happy to think through exactly how to do this with you (might be easier to play around a bit with an editable file). Also I think the point of the criminogenic effect slide may be lost on a reader ā I think we need to situate the 7% nationally and state more explicitly what this number should mean to a reader/why itās worth an entire slide alongside the map.
Ā
A few super narrow notes:
Ā
Inclusive and representative process describing New York City's criminal justice system based on data analytics and qualitative analysis ā instead of saying inclusive and representative Iād specify what you mean ā unprecedented participation from courts, das, executive branch, police, defense, advocates or something similar.
Ā
Slide two, typo: "is amply by diversion"
Ā
For the captions, I would suggest stating what you want people to take away, otherwise itās easy to miss: NYCās process included physical system mapping involving a wide array of perspectives and participants, or System actors participate in defendant experience physical mapping exercise (in large text), with pictured:ā¦. In smaller text below.
Ā
I think Liz would object the picture on slide 3; also could be seen as making this process a little too fun?
Ā
Slide four: process sentence is missing a word
Ā
Slide four: May want to include a small note about some of the cases that were disposed in 2014 were holdovers because the arrows pointing directly to the disposed number (obviously) do not total the number disposed ā maybe āincludes ____ cases arraigned prior to 2014ā
Ā
Hey there ā this is quite an impressive presentation.
Ā
Just a few small thoughts on revisions that Iām hoping to chat with you about before heading to CompStat.Ā
Ā
In the meantime, below is some text that I thought might be helpful for the case processing part of slide 8. Below that, are two slides that I made some tiny revisions to.
Ā
Ā
Slide 8: Case Processing pop-out
Ā
The time it takes to process felony cases from supreme court arraignment to disposition can contribute to backlog in court cases, prolonged incarceration for detained individuals, and an increase in the overall jail population.Ā In New York City, state law recommends that cases become trial-ready within six months (roughly 180 days); currently, the average case processing time in New York City is 320 days, 140 days longer the standard period. Ā Additionally, the number of court appearances and length of time in between court dates can increase case processing times.Ā Between August 2000 and August 2014, the number of cases pending beyond 180 days increased by 61% (from 4246 to 6828).
Ā
In 2014, Manhattan and the Bronx accounted for 65% of cases delayed beyond six months. The increase in length of stay for detainees since 1995 was sharpest in the Bronx (up 108%) and smallest in Staten Island (down 10%). There has been a 31% increase in the Rikers population due to increased case processing time in Supreme Court Since 1995.
Ā
Slide 11: made some suggestions for the caption
Slide 12: adjusted capitalization to a few of the Ms in āMapā
Ā
I cant really open either of them, they keep crashing on me.Ā But one of the slides I saw has something about the criminogenic effect of short stays ā the sentence didnāt make sense to me (again sorry I cant remember exactly what it said and I cant open again) but Ive also found that stat in some some research I have been looking at: Arnold researchers found that low and moderate risk defendants held 2-3 days were more likely to recidivate and fail to appear pre trial than those held for 24 hours or less[1]. Ā So maybe you can make that statement more definitive.Ā I will try to look at it on someone elseās computer.Ā And again my comment with the data sources
