BJS publication
*"
Classification of Urban, Suburban, and Rural Areas in the National Crime Victimization Survey [ [link removed] ]"*

In 2020, BJS provided new classifications of urban, suburban, and rural areas for use in the 2019 version and future versions of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), with the goal of presenting a more accurate picture of where criminal victimizations occur. Based on language previously published in "Criminal Victimization, 2019" [ [link removed] ], this report illustrates how these classifications are determined and how the new definitions more closely fit U.S. residents own sense of where they live. See the full "Criminal Victimization, 2019" [ [link removed] ] report for additional statistics.

"Survey of State Criminal History Information Systems, 2018" [ [link removed] ]

This report presents a snapshot of criminal-history record systems and how cases were tracked through to disposition across the United States and its territories as of yearend 2018. From May 2019 to July 2019, SEARCH (The National Consortium for Justice Information and Statistics) surveyed the administrators of criminal-history record repositories in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This marks the fifteenth Survey of State Criminal History Information Systems that SEARCH has conducted since 1989.
