Description
A criminal process can be issued by a judicial official but may remain unserved because a defendant/respondent cannot be found or may be unavailable for service due to a myriad of factors (illness, incarceration, location, or even death). If and when that person is located or arrested perhaps on another matter, unserved processes may be served on the individual. Unserved/Active processes can be recalled by judicial officials, if they meet certain criteria; thereby reducing the number of charges for which a person is held in custody. This may have influence on bond decisions as well as case processing and disposition, all of which can impact a person’s length of stay in detention.

Community violence has been defined as deliberate acts intended to cause physical harm against a person or persons in a community. The victims of this violence are numerous and also include those less obvious like bystanders, people are familiar with victims, and people who are living with the anxiety of a potential for violence. The measure for this goal is the public safety rate for intensive supervision caseload.
