Takeaways:

A 54% majority of felony arrests are for violent felony charges (18% domestic; 36% non-domestic).  As more cases are screened and accepted for prosecution, the backlog of open cases is growing rapidly in Criminal District Court

Non-domestic violent felonies continue to be accepted at a higher rate than domestic violent felonies (62% non-DV accepted; 31% DV accepted). This amounts to just over half (51%) of violent felony charges being accepted for prosecution

Felony conviction rates have increased slightly, with 41% of overall felonies and 37% of violent felony cases resulting in a felony conviction. However, a 57% majority of overall felony cases and a 60% majority of violent felony cases resulted in dismissal or concluded with misdemeanor plea deals
