COMMITTEE ON LAW AND JUSTICE

The Committee on Law and Justice was created in 1978 to provide a rationale and model for the role of federally sponsored research in anticrime programs. It serves as a national focal point for objective analysis of crime and justice issues to inform national policy. The committee brings the knowledge and tools of the social and behavioral sciences to bear on the development of improved policy, research, and evaluation in the areas of crime prevention, intervention, and control, as well as civil justice. It does so primarily by establishing committees to synthesize, analyze, and evaluate the research from a variety of scientific disciplines that have relevance for criminal and civil justice matters. The members of the committee share a commitment to using basic and applied research to advance prevention research, improve all components of the justice system, develop a broader range of sanctions to sentence offenders; improve criminal justice technology, and expand research in support of new models of justice.

Most major crime in this country emanates from two major data sources. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports has collected information on crimes known to the police and arrests from local and state jurisdictions throughout the country. The National Crime Victimization Survey, a general population survey designed to cover the extent, nature, and consequences of criminal victimization, has been conducted annually since the early1970s. This workshop was designed to consider similarities and differences in the methodological problems encountered by the survey and criminal justice research communities and what might be the best focus for the research community. In addition to comparing and contrasting the methodological issues associated with self-report surveys and official records, the workshop explored methods for obtaining accurate self-reports on sensitive questions about crime events, estimating crime and victimization in rural counties and townships and developing unbiased prevalence and incidence rates for rate events among population subgroups.
