Title: The Summons Report: Trends in the issuance and disposition of summonses in New York City: 2003-2013

Summary: This report examines summonses issued in New York City from 2003-2013. The study offers an in-depth look at summons issuance patterns in the City's five boroughs and two community courts from data provided by the Office of Court Administration. In the decade covered by the report, about a half-million summonses were issued each year. Key findings include: -Overall, summonses are on the decline. This decline is driven by lower issuance rates among 16-17 year olds and 18-20 year olds, mainly for Disorderly Conduct. -On average for the past decade, roughly 2 in 5 summonses resulted in a Dismissal or an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal. Only 1 out of 5 summonses resulted in a disposition of Guilty. -On average over the past decade, 36 percent of summonses resulted in the issuance of a warrant. The majority of these warrants were vacated and as of December 15, 2014, 14 percent of all summonses issued between 2003 and 2013 had an open warrant remaining. -There is substantial borough-level variation throughout the summons process, in patterns of issuance, charges, and dispositions.
