Capital Punishment in the United States Series


Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
These data collections provide annual data on 
prisoners under a sentence of death and on those whose offense sentences 
were commuted or vacated during the years indicated. Information is 
supplied for basic sociodemographic characteristics such as age, sex, 
race, ethnicity, marital status at time of imprisonment, level of 
education, and state of incarceration. Criminal history data include 
prior felony convictions for criminal homicide and legal status at the 
time of the capital offense. Additional information is available for 
inmates removed from death row by yearend of the last year indicated and 
for inmates who were executed. The universe is all inmates on death row 
since 1972 in the United States. The inmate identification numbers were 
assigned by the Bureau of the Census and have no purpose outside these 
data collections.Years Produced: Annually (latest release 
contains all years)NACJD has produced a resource guide on the Capital Punishment in the United States Series.

National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) Series


Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
In 1983, the National Prisoners Statistics program, which 
compiled data on prisoner admissions and releases, and the Uniform Parole 
Reports were combined into one reporting system, the National Corrections 
Reporting Program (NCRP). The NCRP evolved from the need to improve and 
consolidate data on corrections at the national level. Its objective was to 
provide a consistent and comprehensive description of prisoners entering and 
leaving the custody or supervision of state and federal authorities. In 
addition to the state prisons, the California Youth Authority reported data from 1984 to 2011. The Federal Bureau of Prisons reported data to NCRP from 1984 to 1996. Federal data are now collected by BJS under the Federal Justice Statistics Program.NACJD has prepared a resource guide for the NCRP Series.

Annual Parole Survey Series

The Annual Parole Surveys collect administrative data from parole agencies in the United States. Data collected include the total number of adults on state and federal parole on January 1 and December 31 of each year, the number of adults entering and exiting parole supervision each year, and the characteristics of adults under the supervision of parole agencies. The surveys cover all 50 states, the federal system, and the District of Columbia.
A crosswalk of the items included in each year of the Annual Parole Survey series, and the variable names and variable labels that have been assigned in the NACJD documentation and datasets is available.
Researchers may also be interested in the companion series Annual Probation Survey Series.

Law Enforcement Agency Identifiers Crosswalk Series

Researchers have long been able to analyze crime and law enforcement data at the individual agency level and at the county level using data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program data series. However, analyzing crime data at the intermediate level, the city or place, has been difficult, as has merging disparate data sources that have no common match keys. To facilitate the creation and analysis of place-level data and linking reported crime data with data from other sources, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) and the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD) created the Law Enforcement Agency Identifiers Crosswalk (LEAIC).
The crosswalk file was designed to provide geographic and other identification information for each record included in the FBI's UCR files and Bureau of Justice Statistics' Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA). The LEAIC records contain common match keys for merging reported crime data and Census Bureau data. These linkage variables include the Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) code, Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) state, county and place codes, and Governments Integrated Directory government identifier codes. These variables make it possible for researchers to take police agency-level data, combine them with Bureau of the Census and BJS data, and perform place-level, jurisdiction-level, and government-level analyses.

Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) Program/Drug Use Forecasting (DUF) Series





The Arrestee
Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) Program/Drug Use Forecasting (DUF) Series
is an expanded and redesigned version of the Drug Use Forecasting
(DUF) program, which was upgraded methodologically and expanded to 35
cities in 1998. The redesign was fully implemented beginning in the
first quarter of 2000 using new sampling procedures that improved the
quality and generalizability of the data. The DUF program began in
1987 and was designed to estimate the prevalence of drug use among
persons in the United States who are arrested and booked, and to
detect changes in trends in drug use among this population. The DUF
program was a nonexperimental survey of drug use among adult male and
female arrestees. In addition to supplying information on
self-reported drug use, arrestees also provide a urine specimen, which
is screened for the presence of ten illicit drugs.  Between 1987 and
1997 the DUF program collected information in 24 sites across the
United States, although the number of data collection sites varied
slightly from year to year. Data collection took place four times a
year (once each calendar quarter) in each site and selection criteria
and catchment areas (central city or county) varied from site to
site. The original DUF interview instrument (used for the 1987-1994
data and part of the 1995 data) elicited information about the use of
22 drugs. A modified DUF interview instrument (used for part of the
1995 data and all of the 1996-1999 data) included detailed questions
about each arrestee's use of 15 drugs. Juvenile data were added in
1991. The ADAM program, redesigned from the DUF program, moved to a
probability-based sampling for the adult male population during
2000. The shift to sampling of the adult male population in 2000
required that all 35 sites move to a common catchment area, the
county. The ADAM program also implemented a new and expanded adult
instrument in the first quarter of 2000, which was used for both the
male and female data. The term "arrestee" is used in the
documentation, but because no identifying data are collected in the
interview setting, the data represent numbers of arrests rather than
an unduplicated count of persons arrested.
Funding
The
National Institute of Justice (NIJ) initiated ADAM in 1998 to replace
DUF. In 2007, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP)
initiated ADAM II.

Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) Series

The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) is a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families, schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development. It was designed to advance the understanding of the developmental pathways of both positive and negative human social behaviors. In particular, the project examined the causes and pathways of juvenile delinquency, adult crime, substance abuse, and violence. At the same time, the project also provided a detailed look at the environments in which these social behaviors take place by collecting substantial amounts of data about urban Chicago, including its people, institutions, and resources.
PHDCN was directed from the Harvard School of Public Health, and funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the National Institute of Justice, the National Institute of Mental Health, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Administration for Children, Youth and Families.
The project design consisted of two major components. The first was an intensive study of Chicago's neighborhoods, particularly the social, economic, organizational, political, and cultural structures and the dynamic changes that take place in the structures over time. The second component was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over 6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults over time to examine the changing circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics, that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial behaviors.

Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS) Series


The Toledo
Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS) Series explores the relationship
qualities and the subjective meanings that motivate adolescent
behavior.  More specifically, this series seeks to examine the nature
and meaning of adolescent relationship experiences (e.g. with family,
peers, and dating partners) in an effort to discover how experiences
associated with age, gender, race, and ethnicity influence the meaning
of dating relationships.  The series further investigates the relative
impact of dating partners and peers on sexual behavior and
contraceptive practices, as well as involvement in other problem
behaviors that can contribute independently to sexual risk-taking.
The longitudinal design of the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS) includes a schedule of follow-up interviews occurring one, three, and five years after the initial interview. Four prior waves of data have been collected (2001, 2002, 2004, and 2006). Data were collected from adolescent respondents through structured in-home interviews utilizing laptop computers. In addition, the fifth wave, conducted in 2011 when the participants were young adults, builds on prior waves by adding quantitative and qualitative assessments of intimate partner violence (IPV).
Wave 1 and Wave 2 are available through DSDR and can be applied for together. Wave 5 is available through NACJD and must be applied for separately. Please see the study homepages for more details on applying for restricted-use data access.

National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) Series

The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) is an ongoing nationally representative survey that assessed experiences of sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence among adult women and men in the United States and for each individual state. The survey focused exclusively on violence and collected information about:

Sexual violence by any perpetrator, including information related to rape, being made to penetrate someone else, sexual coercion, unwanted sexual contact, and non-contact unwanted sexual experiences
Stalking, including the use of newer technologies such as text messages, emails, monitoring devices (e.g., cameras and GPS, or global positioning system devices), by perpetrators known and unknown to the victim
Physical violence by an intimate partner
Psychological aggression by an intimate partner, including information on expressive forms of aggression and coercive control
Control of reproductive or sexual health by an intimate partner
The NISVS project and data collection was overseen by the Centers for Disease and Prevention (CDC). The overall cost of the NISVS project was shared between the CDC, the Department of Defense (DoD) and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ).

National Elder Mistreatment Study (NEMS) Series

Wave I of the NEMS occurred in 2008 and included a national sample of 5,777 adults aged 60 and above. The study was designed to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for elder mistreatment and abuse, including physical, sexual, emotional, neglectful, or financial abuse, in community-residing older adults. The Wave II follow-up data were collected in 2016 from a subset of the original participants (n=774), or those who reported psychological, physical, or sexual (but not financial) abuse at Wave I. Wave II was designed to measure the effects of elder abuse in terms of health and mental health outcomes and criminal justice system participation and satisfaction.

Juvenile Court Statistics Series


Investigator(s): National Center for Juvenile Justice
These data collections describe in quantitative terms the 
volume of juvenile cases disposed by courts having jurisdiction over juvenile 
matters (delinquency, status offense, and dependency cases). Inaugurated in 
1926 to furnish an index of the problems brought before the juvenile courts, 
this series is the oldest continuous source of information on the processing 
of delinquent and dependent youth by juvenile courts. It is the most detailed 
information available on youth who come in contact with the juvenile justice 
system and on the activities of the nation's juvenile courts. Information is 
provided on state, county, number of delinquency cases, number of status 
offense cases, number of dependency cases, and total number of cases. The 
data distinguish cases with and without the filing of a 
petition.Years Produced: Annually.

events and behavior of the preceding year to gain a better understanding of both 
conventional and deviant types of behavior by youths. Data were collected on 
demographic and socioeconomic status of respondents, disruptive events in the 
home, neighborhood problems, parental aspirations for youth, labeling, 
integration of family and peer contexts, attitudes toward deviance in adults and 
juveniles, parental discipline, community involvement, drug and alcohol use, 
victimization, pregnancy, depression, use of outpatient services, spouse violence
by respondent and partner, and sexual activity. Demographic variables include 
sex, ethnicity, birth date, age, marital status, and employment of the youths, 
and information on the marital status and employment of the parents.
NYS was sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health.

Program of Research on the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency Series

The Program of Research on the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency was initiated by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) in 1986 in an effort to learn more about the root causes of juvenile delinquency and other problem behaviors. The program comprises three coordinated longitudinal studies: Denver Youth Survey, Pittsburgh Youth Study and Rochester Youth Development Study. The three Causes and Correlates projects used a similar research design. All of the projects were longitudinal investigations involving repeated contacts with youth during a substantial portion of their developmental years.
Researchers conducted regular face-to-face interviews with inner-city youth considered at high-risk for involvement in delinquency and drug abuse. Multiple perspectives on each child's development and behavior were obtained through interviews with the child's primary caretaker and, in two sites, school teachers. Administrative data from official agencies, including police, schools and social services was also collected.
The three research teams worked together to ensure that certain core measures were identical across the sites, including self-reported delinquency and drug use; community and neighborhood characteristics; youth, family and peer variables; and arrest and judicial processing histories.
NACJD is developing a resource guide on the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency Data. It will be available soon.
