City-Level Survey of Crime Victimization and Citizen Attitudes
The Bureau Jutice Statistics in a joint effort with the Office of Community Oriented
Policing Services (COPS,) conducted victimization surveys in 12 selected cities. The
standard National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) instrument was used with questions
about citizen perceptions of community policing and neighborhood issues.
Emergency Room Statistics on Intentional Violence
Collects data on intentional injuries, such as domestic violence, rape, and child
abuse, from a national sample of hospital emergency rooms. Through the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS),
information is obtained on characteristics of the victim and offender, victim-offender
relationship, alcohol/drug involvement in the incident, and circumstances of the
injury.
Human Trafficking Reporting System (HTRS)
The Human Trafficking Reporting System (HTRS) was developed in 2007 to collect data on
alleged human trafficking incidents from state and local law enforcement agencies.
National Computer Security Survey (NCSS)
The goal of NCSS is to produce reliable national and industry-level estimates of the
prevalence of computer security incidents (such as denial of service attacks, fraud,
or theft of information) against businesses and the resulting losses incurred by
businesses. The first national survey of thousands of businesses is being conducted in
2006. It is cosponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics and the National Cyber
Security Division (NCSD) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The RAND
Corporation is the data collection agent.
National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)
The Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is
the nation's primary source of information on criminal victimization. Each year, data
are obtained from a nationally representative sample of about 90,000 households,
comprising nearly 160,000 persons, on the frequency, characteristics, and consequences
of criminal victimization in the United States.
National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS)
Since 1929, the Uniform Crime
Reporting (UCR)
program has collected information about crimes known to the law enforcement and
arrests.
Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS)
Provides detailed information on the characteristics of persons who had some type of
contact with police during the year, including those who contacted the police to
report a crime or were pulled over in a traffic stop. The PPCS interviews a nationally
representative sample of residents age 16 or older as a supplement to the National
Crime Victimization Survey. The survey enables BJS to examine the perceptions of
police behavior and response during these encounters.
