The Adult Court dashboards provide access to multiple years of resolved charges and convictions from Iowa's adult court system. Users may sort data geographically by judicial district or county, and users may look at specific demographic data such as age, sex, and race of defendants. Users can also explore specific charge details including the level of the offense (e.g., felony or misdemeanor), the charge type, and the charge subtype.
Cases may include one or more separate charges. For example, a single case might include four charges of theft and one charge of assault. These dashboards track all five individual charges rather than the case as a single unit.
