FOR THE ADULTS THE MAJOR STAGES ARE: ARREST, ARRAIGNMENT, TRIAL OPENING, AND FINAL DISPOSITION; WHILE, FOR THE JUVENILES THE MAJOR STAGES ARE: ARREST, PETITION, ADJUDICATORY HEARING, AND FINAL DISPOSITION. THE FOLLOWING KINDS OF INFORMATION WERE COLLECTED FOR BOTH THE ADULT AND THE JUVENILE CASE PROCESS: TIME LAPSE BETWEEN THE MAJOR STAGES OF THE CASE PROCESS; STATUS-PLACEMENT OF INDIVIDUALS AT VARIOUS POINTS IN THE CASE PROCESS; FINAL DISPOSITION OF OFFENDERS; NUMBER OF ARRESTS BETWEEN THE MAJOR STAGES OF THE CASE PROCESS; AND NUMBER OF ARRESTS WHILE FULFILLING SENTENCE.
