Aggravated harassment cases in Rockland County are dismissed at a dramatically higher rate than statewide patterns suggest. With an 84.1% dismissal rate compared to the state average of 46.2%, these charges are nearly 38 percentage points more likely to be dropped in Rockland County. Only 15.9% of cases result in conviction, and no acquittals were recorded in the 67 cases examined.
