#' Initiation Data
#'
#' The Initiation results data presented here reflects all of the arrests that came through
#' the door of the State's Attorneys Office (SAO). An initiation is how an arrest turns into
#' a “case” in the courts. Most cases are initiated through a process known as felony review,
#'  in which SAO attorneys make a decision whether or not to prosecute. Cases may also be
#'  indicted by a grand jury or, in narcotics cases, filed directly by law enforcement
#'  (labeled "BOND SET (Narcotics)" in this data). Included in this data set are the defendant
#'  counts by initiation and year. This data includes felony cases handled by the Criminal, Narcotics,
#'  and Special Prosecution Bureaus. It does not include information about cases processed through the
#'  Juvenile Justice and Civil Actions Bureaus.
