Effects of "United States vs. Leon" on Police Search Warrant Practices, 1984-1985
This data collection examines the impact of the Supreme
Court decision in "UNITED STATES VS. LEON" on police search warrant
applications in seven jurisdictions. For this collection, which is one
of the few data collections currently available for the study of
warrant activities, data were gathered from search warrant applications
filed during a three-month period before the Leon decision and three
months after it. Each warrant application can be tracked through the
criminal justice system to its disposition. The file contains variables
on the contents of the warrant such as rank of applicant, specific area
of search, offense type, material sought, basis of evidence, status of
informants, and reference to good faith. Additional variables concern
the results of the warrant application and include items such as
materials seized, arrest made, cases charged by prosecutor, type of
attorney, whether a motion to suppress the warrant was filed, outcomes
of motions, appeal status, and number of arrestees.
