ANNOTATION: “This final report considers the balance of BJS’s [Bureau of Justice Statistics’] portfolio, its assistance to state and local authorities, and the functions of BJS as a whole” (p. 1). Six chapters follow an abstract and executive summary: introduction; measurement in the justice system; overview of BJS data collection series; state and local partnerships; principles and practices—BJS as a principle U.S. federal statistical agency; and strategic goals for BJS. One recommendation is that BJS needs to be taken out of the U.S. Office of the Justice Programs to ensure an independent and objective nature.
