How these numbers are counted
People, counted once. Each group counts distinct profiles. Someone with several occupations, charge categories or media sources can appear in several groups. A series filter narrows the people included.
Coverage has limits. These are statistics about this index, not every person featured by Chris Hansen. Missing information remains separate, and reported outcomes are not the same as court-verified outcomes.
Sentences stay in context. Sentence groups describe imposed penalties for the documented investigation. Proposed deals and unrelated offenses do not count. A sentence does not establish whether someone is in custody today.
Trace each number. Linked groups open the matching case records and their sources. Corrections to those records flow into these totals when the site is published. Read the research methodology.
