This report provides an update on BJS?s multiyear effort to improve the efficiency, reliability, and utility of the National Crime Victimization Survey?(NCVS). The effort had three main goals: modernize the organization and content of the NCVS instrument, increase the quality of information collected and efficiency of the instrument flow, and improve the measurement and classification of crime. This summary describes progress on the redesign, including decisions that were informed by a large-scale national field test and upcoming milestones for the redesign?s implementation phase.

The new CSAT-Prisoners is an interactive data visualization dashboard, which replaces and enhances the core functionality of the previous data tool. For the first time, the dashboard combines data from the National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) and National Prisoner Statistics (NPS) program. This dashboard provides data users central access to more comprehensive, in-depth, state-level data on persons in state prison, including data by age, sex, race or ethnicity, offense, sentence length, time served in prison, and type of admission and release. Additionally, data users can access preformatted frequently requested charts or generate custom statistics, figures, and maps on prison admissions, prison releases, and yearend prison populations for data between 1978 and 2019. The NPS and NCRP are BJS?s flagship data collections measuring the size and composition of state and federal prison populations on an annual basis. The two collections complement each other by obtaining aggregate and detailed individual-level information on prisoners, which is used to describe and compare the prison population over time.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics has released the 2014 National Survey of Tribal Court Systems (NSTCS) dataset through the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data. The NSTCS was the first complete enumeration of tribal court systems operating in the United States. The NSTCS consisted of three surveys specific to tribal court systems in the lower 48 states, Alaska Native villages, and the Code of Federal Regulations Courts (CFR Courts) operated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). It covered a variety of complex topics, including tribal court administration and operations; prosecution, public defense, and civil legal services; pretrial, probation, and reentry programs and services; juvenile cases, domestic violence cases, and protection orders; enhanced sentencing authority; and information systems access.
