• What is a capias?
  A "Capias" is a legal order issued by a judge that directs law enforcement to take a defendant into custody when they fail to comply with a court order, such as not appearing for a scheduled court date. While a capias often results in the individual being arrested, it can also lead to the defendant being re-cited with a new court date instead of immediate custody. Capias warrants, sometimes referred to as bench warrants, can arise from various legal contexts, including civil cases, family law matters, or failure to pay fines. Typically, a capias includes the defendant's name or physical description, details about the alleged offense, the date the offense occurred, and the signature of the individual who filed the affidavit. For more information on capias and related legal processes, you can visit your local court's website or the relevant state judicial branch website.

• Where can I find the meaning of "clearance rate" in the criminal justice system?
  The "clearance rate" in the criminal justice system refers to the percentage of reported crimes that have been "cleared" by an arrest or other legal action, such as the death of a suspect or the decision not to pursue charges. It is commonly used to assess the effectiveness of law enforcement in solving crimes. The clearance rate is calculated by dividing the number of cleared cases by the total number of reported cases and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

• Where can I find access to local background checks and their advantages?
  Background checks involve investigating an individual's history and records, which can include various elements such as criminal history, employment verification, and educational credentials. The scope of a background check can vary significantly depending on the purpose and the agency conducting it. Local background checks are typically conducted through county or city law enforcement agencies, such as sheriff's offices or police departments. These agencies can provide access to criminal records, incident reports, arrest records, and information about individuals currently in custody. The advantages of local background checks include obtaining detailed and specific information relevant to the area in which the individual resides or has lived. This can be particularly useful for employers, landlords, or organizations conducting due diligence.
