BJS is pursuing several initiatives, including implementing a redesign of the National Crime Victimization Survey, collecting new data on the maternal health of incarcerated women, and increasing understanding of crime victimization in historically underserved communities through investment in the volume, quality, and analysis of data collected by the National Incident-Based Reporting System. Under the President's FY 23 budget, BJS would continue these investments, as well as develop a new data collection on access to justice. Read about this work in ?Leveraging Federal Statistics to Strengthen Evidence-Based Decision-Making,? chapter 15 of Analytical Perspectives: Budget of the U.S. Government: Fiscal Year 2023.?
