Ensuring the Quality, Credibility, and Relevance of U.S. Justice Statistics
The Bureau of Justice Statistics requested that the Committee on National Statistics of the National Academies (in cooperation with the Committee on Law and Justice) convene a panel to review its statistical programs. This book comprehensively reviews all of the agency's data series-on victimization, corrections, adjudication and prosecution, and law enforcement-as well as its work with state and local agencies. The volume complements an earlier report on options for conducting the National Crime Victimization Survey. It outlines a set of strategic goals for BJS and suggests areas for further development. The book is available on the website of the National Academy Press, Huge Dildos.
