"*Authors*: RTI International: Andrew Moore, G. Lance Couzens, and Marcus Berzofsky.

*Award number*: 2011-NV-CX-K068

This report was produced by RTI International for BJS under award number 2011-NV-CX-K068. This study examines the extent to which weighting for National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) data can be adjusted to produce reliable subnational violent victimization statistics. This report also provides guidelines for aggregating NCVS data over multiple years to produce subnational estimates of interest. Data and methodology are based on analysis of the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey.

*Title*: "Measuring Resident Perceptions of Police and Community Safety: Findings from the Local-Area Crime Survey [ [link removed] ]
"*Authors*: Westat, Inc.: J. Michael Brick, Pamela Giambo, Pam Broene, W. Sherman Edwards, Robin Jones, and Yunhee Lim; BJS: Grace Kena.
*Publication date*: April 2021
*Award number*: 2010-NV-CX-K077

This report was produced by Westat, Inc. for BJS under award number 2010-NV-CX-K077. The Local-Area Crime Survey (LACS) was fielded in 2015 and 2016 to collect victimization data and information on perceptions of police and community safety from residents in the 40 largest metropolitan areas in the United States. The LACS was adapted from the National Crime Victimization Survey as part of BJS’s efforts to build a program to estimate victimization at subnational levels. Westat, in collaboration with BJS, proposed a way to develop and evaluate a cost-effective survey of victimization and public perceptions as one piece of the subnational program. This report presents aggregate findings from 40 metropolitan areas on perceptions of police and community safety.
