View BJS’s latest statistics on resident-initiated and police-initiated contact [ [link removed] ]

BJS has released a new report, "Contacts Between Police and the Public, 2022". This report provides statistics on instances where U.S. residents age 16 or older contacted police (resident-initiated contact), instances where police approached or stopped them (police-initiated contact), and police contact related to traffic accidents. The report is part of a series that began in 1996 that examines the nature and frequency of contact with police reported by U.S. residents, including demographic characteristics; types of contact; and perceptions of police misconduct, threats of force, and use of nonfatal force.

"Contacts Between Police and the Public, 2022 "(NCJ 308847) was written by BJS Statisticians Susannah N. Tapp, PhD, and Elizabeth J. Davis. The report, related documents, and additional information about BJS’s statistical publications and programs are available on the BJS website at bjs.ojp.gov [ [link removed] ].

BJS data collection

2022 Police-Public Contact Survey dataset now available [ [link removed] ]

BJS has released the Police-Public Contact Survey, 2022 dataset. The Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS) [ [link removed] ] provides detailed information on the nature and characteristics of contacts between police and the public, including the reason for and outcome of the contact and the respondent's satisfaction with the contact. With data from this collection, users can estimate the likelihood of different types of contact, including contact involving the use of nonfatal force by police, for residents with different demographic characteristics. The PPCS collects data from a nationally representative sample of U.S. residents age 16 or older as a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey [ [link removed] ].
