utility, and interstate accessibility of criminal history and related
records, and updating the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background
Check System with information which may disqualify individuals from
purchasing or possessing firearms.
BJS FY25 State Justice Statistics (SJS) Program for Statistical
Analysis Centers (SACs)
The program supports the collection, analysis, and dissemination of
statistical information on crime and criminal justice at the state and
local levels.
