2 Disposition in public prosecutors offices

Fig. 1-3-1-5 shows the percent distribution of persons conclusively disposed by public prosecutors for traffic cases (refers to cases of dangerous driving causing death or injury, negligence in vehicle driving causing death or injury, etc., and violations of road traffic related acts; hereinafter the same in this subsection) by type of disposition, while also comparing them with other cases (non-traffic cases), in 2011. The proportion of indictment for dangerous driving causing death or injury was remarkably high at 73.6% when compared with non-traffic cases. The proportions of indictment for negligence in vehicle driving causing death or injury, etc. and violations of road traffic related acts were significantly lower at 0.9% and 2.0%, respectively, with the proportion of non-prosecution for the former being remarkably high, while that of request for summary order was also high with the latter.
