Survey of Campus Law Enforcement Agencies [United States] Series



Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice
Statistics
In 1995, to determine the nature of law enforcement
services provided on campus, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS)
surveyed four-year institutions of higher education in the United
States with 2,500 or more students. This survey describes nearly 600
of these campus law enforcement agencies in terms of their personnel,
expenditures and pay, operations, equipment, computers and information
systems, policies, and special programs.  The survey was based on the
BJS Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS)
program, which collected similar data from a national sample of state
and local law enforcement agencies.

National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) Series


Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) series was designed to achieve three primary objectives: to develop detailed information about the victims and consequences of crime, to estimate the number and types of crimes not reported to police, and to provide uniform measures of selected types of crime.
All persons in the United States 12 years of age and older were interviewed in each household sampled. Each respondent was asked a series of screen questions to determine if he or she was victimized during the six-month period preceding the first day of the month of the interview. Screen questions cover the following types of crimes, including attempts: rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft.
The data include type of crime; severity of the crime; injuries or losses; time and place of occurrence; medical expenses incurred; number, age, race, and sex of offender(s); and relationship of offender(s) to the victim (stranger, casual acquaintance, relative, etc.). Demographic information on household members includes age, sex, race, education, employment, median family income, marital status, and military history. A stratified multistage cluster sample technique was employed, with the person-level files consisting of a full sample of victims and a 10 percent sample of nonvictims for up to four incidents.
The NCVS data are organized by collection quarter, and six quarters comprise an annual file. For example, for a 1979 file, the four quarters of 1979 are included as well as the first two quarters of 1980.
NACJD has prepared a resource guide on NCVS.

National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Series

Investigator(s): United States Department of Justice. Federal Bureau of Investigation
The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) series is a component part of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR), a nationwide view of crime administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), based on the submission of crime information by participating law enforcement agencies. The NIBRS was implemented to meet the new guidelines formulated for the UCR to provide new ways of looking at crime for the 21st century. NIBRS is an expanded and enhanced UCR Program, designed to capture incident-level data and data focused on various aspects of a crime incident. The NIBRS was aimed at offering law enforcement and the academic community more comprehensive data than ever before available for management, training, planning, research, and other uses. NIBRS collects data on each single incident and arrest within 22 offense categories made up of 46 specific crimes called Group A offenses. In addition, there are 11 Group B offense categories for which only arrest data are reported. NIBRS data on different aspects of crime incidents such as offenses, victims, offenders, arrestees, etc., can be examined as different units of analysis. The data are archived at ICPSR as 13 separate data files, which may be merged by using linkage variables.
NACJD has prepared a resource guide on NIBRS.

National Pretrial Reporting Program Series


Investigator(s): Pretrial Services Resource Center
The National Pretrial Reporting Program project 
was initiated in 1983 by the Pretrial Services Resource Center 
with funding from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to determine 
the feasibility of a national pretrial database. Specifically, the project 
sought to determine whether accurate and comprehensive pretrial data 
can be collected at the local level and subsequently aggregated at the 
state and federal levels. Before this project began, there was no 
national system for regularly tracking information on persons and 
cases from the point they entered the local court system until they 
were adjudicated and sentenced, nor was it clear that such a system 
could be established. The project was developed in three phases and 
each phase has taken the program closer to its goal of providing BJS 
with reliable and valid data on the movement of defendants through the 
criminal court system. Phase 1 of the project, though limited to three 
jurisdictions, demonstrated that baseline data could be collected to 
describe how criminal defendants are processed through the courts. 
Phase II of the project not only focused on the collection and 
analyses of the data, but was also concerned with the procedural 
methods necessary to devise a national baseline data collection project. 
Although there were problems encountered and lessons learned in Phase II, 
the findings confirmed that a national effort could be undertaken. In 
the summer of 1987, Phase III of the program was developed. Changes 
incorporated in Phase III were a direct result of the lessons learned 
from Phase II, with the goal of achieving a more accurate and 
representative database. To accomplish this, significant changes were 
made, particularly in four areas: site selection, defendant sampling, 
site personnel training, and targeted charge. A more ambitious project 
was envisioned as well, with the project targeting 40 jurisdictions for 
data collection. Another major change in Phase III concerned the 
decision to target felony defendants only, since many of the ongoing 
BJS projects were limited to felony defendants. The data collected in 
the period 1988-1993 provide a picture of felony defendants' 
movements through the criminal courts and what happens during the course 
of their journey.

To ensure an accurate sampling frame for its Law 
Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey, the 
Bureau of Justice Statistics periodically sponsors a census of the 
nation's state and local law enforcement agencies. This census, known as 
the Directory Survey, gathers data on all police and sheriffs' department 
that are publicly funded and employ at least one full-time or part-time 
sworn officer with general arrest powers. Variables include personnel 
totals, type of agency, geographic location of agency, and whether the 
agency had the legal authority to hold a person beyond arraignment for 
48 or more hours.

United Nations Surveys of Crime Trends and Operations of Criminal Justice Systems Series



Investigator(s): United Nations Office at Vienna, R.W. Burnham, Helen
Burnham, Bruce DiCristina, and Graeme Newman
The United Nations Surveys of Crime Trends 
and Operations of Criminal Justice Systems (formerly known as 
the United Nations World Crime Surveys) series was begun in 
1978 and is comprised of five quinquennial surveys covering the 
years 1970-1975, 1975-1980, 1980-1986, 1986-1990, and 1990-1994. 
The project was supported by the United States Bureau of Justice 
Statistics, and conducted under the auspices of the United Nations 
Criminal Justice and Crime Prevention Branch, United Nations Office 
in Vienna. Data gathered on crime prevention and criminal justice 
among member nations provide information for policy development 
and program planning. The main objectives of the survey include: 
to conduct a more focused inquiry into the incidence of crime 
worldwide, to improve knowledge about the incidence of reported crime
in the global development perspective and also international 
understanding of effective ways to counteract crime, to improve the 
dissemination globally of the information collected, to facilitate an 
overview of trends and interrelationships among various parts of the 
criminal justice system so as to promote informed decision-making in 
its administration, nationally and cross-nationally, and to serve as an 
instrument for strengthening cooperation among member states by putting 
the review and analysis of national crime-related data in a broader 
context. The surveys also provide a valuable source of charting trends 
in crime and criminal justice over two decades.

National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) Series



In 1992, the National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC), a unit of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), established an interagency agreement with the
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)to begin collecting data
on nonfatal firearm-related injuries by using the National Electronic
Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), the primary data system of CPSC.
This ongoing special study is commonly called the "CDC Firearm Injury
Surveillance Study".  These data provide the basis for national
estimates of nonfatal firearm-related injuries and nonfatal BB/pellet
gun-related injuries treated in hospital emergency departments in the
United States.  Beginning in July 2000, NCIPC, in collaboration with
CPSC, expanded NEISS to collect data on all types and causes of
injuries treated in a representative sample of hospitals.  This system
is called the "NEISS All Injury Program (NEISS AIP)".  These data
provide the basis for national estimates of all types of nonfatal
injuries treated in hospital emergency departments in the United
States.

Annual Survey of Jails Data Series


Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
The Annual
Survey of Jails, formerly titled National Survey of Jails, is the only
data collection effort that provides an annual source of data on local
jails and jail inmates. The series was begun in 1982 by the Bureau of
Justice Statistics with data collected by the Bureau of the
Census. Local jails are locally-operated correctional facilities that
confine persons before or after adjudication. Inmates sentenced to
jails usually have a sentence of a year or less, but jails also
incarcerate persons in a wide variety of other categories. Data on the
size of the jail population and selected inmate characteristics are
obtained every five to six years from the Census of Jails. In each of
the years between the full censuses, a sample survey of jails is
conducted to estimate baseline characteristics of the nation's jails
and inmates housed in these jails.  Data are supplied on admissions
and releases, growth in the number of jail facilities, changes in
their rated capacities and level of occupancy, growth in the
population supervised in the community, changes in methods of
community supervision, and crowding issues in state and federal
prisons. The data are intended for a variety of users, including
federal and state agencies, local officials in conjunction with jail
administrators, researchers, planners, and the public.Years
Produced: Annually, except every 5th year when the National
Jail Census is produced.
