Using NCVS to Provide Subnational Estimates of Victimization: A BJS Update
April 10, 2:00-3:00pm, Michael Planty, chief of Victimization Statistics, will conduct a webinar on the approaches to using the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) to produce subnational estimates. While the NCVS was originally designed to generate national estimates of the level and change in reported and unreported crime and incident characteristics, the Bureau of Justice Statistics has been exploring a variety of approaches for using the NCVS to produce subnational estimates of victimization. Initial efforts have yielded both model-based estimates of violent and property crime in the 50 states and the District of Columbia and a select set of direct estimates generated by reweighting existing NCVS sample in large states and metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). Dr. Planty will share initial findings on variations in reported and unreported crime rates and incident characteristics across states and large MSAs from the initial phases of the NCVS subnational program. He will discuss the potential utility of subnational estimates for better understanding patterns of crime and victimization, the future of the NCVS subnational program, and the larger planned framework for using the initial work to provide local level estimates of victimization. Registration is now open.
Free Webinar on Incident-Based Data as an Analytical Tool to Address Policy
Registration is now open for a free webinar on Incident-Based Data as an Analytical Tool to Address Policy on Thursday, March 27, 2014, 2:00-3:30 p.m. EDT. Incident-based data reported by law enforcement capture numerous elements that can help uncover patterns about particular types of crime, crime victims, arrestees, and other factors. The knowledge gained from analyzing incident-based data contributes to strategic and operational changes in law enforcement agencies. This information can help create more effective prevention programs, establish educational programs for victims and advocacy groups, and change justice policy. This webinar demonstrates how to use incident-based data as an analytic tool to address matters relevant to policy. Presenters are Max Schlueter, SAC Director, Vermont Center for Justice Research, Rob McManus, SAC Director, Office of Justice Programs, South Carolina Department of Public Safety, and Lisa Walbolt Wagner, Research Associate, Justice Research and Statistics Association. These experts will discuss how they analyzed incident-based data, how the findings led to a better understanding of problems, such as domestic violence and disproportionate minority contact with police, and the policy or strategic implications of their findings. They will also discuss the limitations of the data and possible future research to explore the issue further. The project is funded by a grant from the BJS State Justice Statistics Technical Assistance Program.
