This collection publishes statistics on the transactions of West German public prosecutors for 1988.
Abstract
These statistics, which have been published annually since 1981, include for the first time the State of Hessen; consequently, with the exception of Schleswig-Holstein, all West German Laender or States are represented. The first section presents surveys of the transactions of prosecutors from 1985 to 1988; a special chart for 1988 divides these cases according to court districts. The second section focuses on resolved cases: the number of resolved cases; the manner of resolution; the duration of the proceedings; and the number of suspects involved. The third section is devoted to special business offenses: number of cases; type of offense; type of sentence; length of proceedings; and the number of suspects. Section 4 provides insight into the amount of time public prosecutors devoted to the different tasks of their profession. Section 5 analyzes the activities of prosecutors at higher and appellate courts, while the final section informs on resolved cases at the same courts.
