    "notes": "The federal judiciary describes the Pretrial Risk Assessment (PTRA) as a \"scientifically based instrument developed by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts\" that estimates a defendant's risk of failure to appear, new criminal arrest or technical violations that could lead to revocation during pretrial supervision. US probation and pretrial services officers use it \"in conjunction with a thorough pretrial services investigation\" to inform release or detention recommendations to the court, and combine it with their professional judgement. The judiciary's page lists research on the instrument from 2009 (development), 2011 (implementation), 2012 and 2018 (revalidation) and September 2024 (\"Revising the Pretrial Risk Assessment (PTRA): Promising Options\"), but does not state a launch date or explain the scoring.",
