BJS FY 15 Analytic Resource Center

Through the BJS-ARC project, BJS aims to undertake and complete methodological research that will complement its routine collection and reporting of criminal justice system statistics under its Criminal Justice Statistics Program. Through its CJSP, BJS develops and disseminates statistics that describes the operations of the criminal justice system; the attributes of law enforcement, prosecution, judicial, and correctional agencies at the federal, state and local levels; and undertakes special projects to develop new statistical collections and methodologies. For this project, the work focuses on statistical collections other than the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). All references to the CJSP that follow exclude the NCVS unless it is explicitly mentioned.
