Abstract
Though it focuses on 1989, it frequently includes comparisons to previous years. The first section focuses on the organization, personnel, and transactions of the court system and analyzes the number of cases which appeared in the different types of criminal and civil courts. The second section presents police statistics concerning crime investigations, suspects, and clearance rates. The third section analyzes prosecuted and convicted offenders for different types of offenses with special emphasis on traffic offenses, larceny, and drug offenses. The fourth focuses on prison statistics including prison capacity and actual prison use in the various West German states, while the final section provides statistics on probation officers and probationers. This collection is convenient because of the broad range of topics it covers; however, in each of these areas, indepth individual publications also exist.
