Contempt Of Court reports in Los Angeles

What 868 Contempt Of Court reports measure

868 rows are coded Contempt Of Court as LAPD labeled them. Contempt of court in this feed is a police-incident string tied to a court-process report, not a street-crime category and not a tally of every civil or criminal contempt order a judge entered.

Other court-related or warrant strings on the Los Angeles feed stay outside this total unless they carry this exact published type. The official published label is "Contempt Of Court." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string. The 868 figure is a count of incident records, not unique defendants, not unique court cases, and not a sentencing file.

How LAPD type labels work on this feed

Every row on the Los Angeles open-data incident extract carries a type field drawn from LAPD crime-code / MO category as published. If a report was written as Contempt Of Court, it stays under that string here even when a reader might look for it on a court docket instead of a crime map. This page does not split the 868 rows into civil, criminal, or failure-to-appear subtypes the packet does not contain.

A primary type is not a criminal conviction and is not a UCR hierarchy rule applied after the fact. A contempt report on the police extract is not proof that the underlying case was decided. Other agencies may file similar events under warrant, violation of court order, or miscellaneous offense names that never appear in this list.

Contempt Of Court as a share of Los Angeles reports

Relative to 400,500 Los Angeles incidents in this extract, 868 reports coded Contempt Of Court are about 0.2 percent of the city file. That share describes labeling volume on the public police feed. It is not a share of all Los Angeles court filings; court caseloads live in other systems.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.2 percent of the indexed city total is not 0.2 percent of all legal process in Los Angeles, and it is not a crime rate. Rates need a caseload or population denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

A Contempt Of Court row means a report was taken and coded. It does not mean a prosecutor filed a new charge, a judge entered a finding of contempt, or a person was jailed. Treating 868 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes and mix police-incident volume with court outcomes.

Los Angeles Police Department publishes the underlying incidents through LA Open Data. LocalCrimeVault indexes that feed. If the agency later updates a record, the public count can move. This page describes the extract as harvested, not a forecast and not a court calendar.

How to read the Contempt Of Court table

The type hub lists the 868 rows with the fields LAPD shares publicly: date, coarse location, and related attributes. Block ranges are intentionally coarse. They are not street-number addresses, and they are not proof that a named courthouse or defendant was involved.

Nothing in the 868 count tells you which court issued an order, whether a warrant issued, or how the underlying case ended. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.

Where to go next in the Los Angeles data

Use the Los Angeles type hub for the live table of these 868 rows. The city-wide Los Angeles hub places Contempt Of Court beside the rest of the published mix so the 0.2 percent share is visible as a process-related label, not as a street-crime rank. A cross-city view of the same type slug exists; definitions still follow each agency's feed.

If you are documenting a method, record the extract and the 868 / 400,500 pair. Open-data crime files are living tables. A later harvest can add late-submitted reports or drop rows the agency has sealed or corrected. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences. Do not treat this guide as a live court docket.

The headline count on this page is 868 indexed reports for Contempt Of Court against a city file of 400,500 reports. LocalCrimeVault indexes the public incident feed for Los Angeles. A police contempt row is not a judge's order and not a warrant file. If a later harvest moves the integer, the new snapshot is a new citation.

Questions

How many Contempt Of Court reports are in the Los Angeles index?

This extract includes 868 Los Angeles incidents coded Contempt Of Court. That is about 0.2 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from LA Open Data, not convictions, court findings, or unique defendants. LAPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

Is Contempt Of Court the same as a judge's contempt order?

Not necessarily. This page covers only rows whose published type is Contempt Of Court (868 reports) on the LAPD incident feed. Court dockets and civil contempt orders live in other systems. Mixing police rows with court filings would blur what each source records. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.

Does a Contempt Of Court incident mean someone was convicted?

No. Public incident rows are reports. They can remain in the open-data feed if no arrest was made, if charges were declined, or if the underlying case was later updated. The 868 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.

Where does LocalCrimeVault get Los Angeles Contempt Of Court counts?

Counts come from Los Angeles Police Department incidents published on LA Open Data and indexed here. Offense types are LAPD crime-code / MO category as published. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. Compare the type table with the Los Angeles hub if you need this label next to the other 400,500 city reports.
