This program announcement describes the guidelines and requirements of the FY 2006
State Justice Statistics (SJS) Program for Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs). Since
1972, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) and its predecessor agency, the National
Criminal Justice Information and Statistics Service, have provided partial support to
State and Territorial governments for the establishment and operation of Statistical
Analysis Centers to collect, analyze, and report statistics on crime and justice to
Federal, State, and local levels of government, and to share state-level information
nationally. The information produced by SACs and their involvement in criminal
justice
projects has been and will continue to be critical to State, local, and Federal
criminal justice agencies and community organizations as they develop programs and
policies related to crime, illegal drugs, services to victims, and the administration
of justice.
The State Justice Statistics (SJS) Program is designed to maintain and enhance each
State¿s capacity to address criminal justice issues through collection and analysis of
data. The SJS Program provides limited funds to each State to coordinate statistical
activities within the State, conduct research as needed to estimate impacts of
legislative and policy changes, and serve a liaison role in assisting BJS to gather
data from respondent agencies within their States. Each application for funding under
this program must identify the participating organizations in the State and the
particular issues to be addressed. Each year, BJS announces specific topics for
analysis and encourages applicants to give careful consideration to planning
activities
that fit within one or more of the designated topics (see section Themes for 2006
SJS). If a SAC does not feel that any of the topics are relevant to its own State, it
may identify a topic or statistical activity of critical importance to its
jurisdiction.
The SJS program themes are selected jointly by BJS and the Justice Research and
Statistics Association (JRSA) staff and selected SAC Directors as reflective of issues
of current concern and significance to criminal justice practitioners. JRSA also
plays
a role in publishing reports based on SJS themes and organizing an annual conference
that helps SACs share results from their work. Some SJS funding priorities help build
the infrastructure that allows SACs to collect and disseminate information to State,
national, and international audiences.
BJS also administers the National Criminal History Improvement Program (NCHIP), which
implements the grant provisions of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, the
National Child Protection Act of 1993, the Stalker and Domestic Violence Reduction
provisions of the Violence Against Women Act, the Crime Identification Technology Act
(CITA), and related legislation. BJS encourages SAC directors to participate in their
State¿s application for NCHIP funds, in addition to applying for funding related to
crime identification technologies through the SJS program.
Deadline: Applications should be submitted no later than June 15, 2006.
Eligibility: State Statistical Analysis Centers are the only entities eligible to apply for funds
under the SJS program. General applicants must meet the requirements for a SAC as
specified in these Guidelines. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA)
number for the SAC program is 16.550 (Criminal Justice Statistics Development).
Contact Information: For further information on the SJS program, contact Stephanie L. Burroughs, SJS
Program Coordinator, at (202) 514-9012, by e-mail at Stephanie.Burroughs@usdoj.gov
or your State program manager.
