Bureau of Justice Statistics Updates Online Tools



BJS recently updated three dynamic online tools:

NCVS Victimization Analysis Tool (NVAT) http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=nvat provides data from 1993 to 2013. You can examine data on both violent and property victimization by selected victim, household and incident characteristics.

Arrest Data Analysis Tool http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=datool&surl=/arrests/index.cfm provides data from 1980 to 2012. You can view national arrest estimates, customized either by age and sex or by age group and race, for many different offenses. This tool also enables you to view local arrests.

Federal Criminal Case Processing Statistics http://www.bjs.gov/fjsrc/ provides data from 1998 to 2012. You can generate data on federal law enforcement, prosecution, courts and incarceration, or search by title and section of the U.S. Criminal Code.
