Statistics
Homicide Trends and Characteristics by State
http://www.bjs.gov/content/homicide/overview.cfm
This Bureau of Justice
Statistics (BJS) tool provides data at the state-level related to homicides,
including the number of victims, demographic data (age, race, and gender),
and weapon involvement.
National Crime Victimization Survey
The National
Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is the Nation’s primary
source of information on criminal victimization. Each year, data are
obtained from a nationally representative sample of 76,000 households
comprising nearly 135,300 persons on the frequency, characteristics,
and consequences of criminal victimization in the United States.
The survey enables the Bureau of Justice Statistics
(BJS) to estimate the likelihood of victimization by rape, sexual assault,
robbery, assault, theft, household burglary, and motor vehicle theft for the
population as a whole as well as for segments of the population such as women,
the elderly, members of various racial groups, city dwellers,
or other groups.
State Statistical Analysis Center
State specific justice statistics are available from your
state’s Statistical Analysis Center (SAC).
Contact information for each state’s SAC is available
from the Justice Research
and Statistics Association.
Uniform Crime Reports
http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/ucr
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program
compiles data from state and local law enforcement agencies throughout
the United States. These data are presented annually in UCR publications
such as Crime
in the United States, Hate
Crime Statistics, and Law
Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted.
Uniform Crime Reports Data Analysis Tool
http://www.ucrdatatool.gov/
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR)
Data Analysis Tool facilitates a state-level search of violent and
property crime data across a number of years. Custom data tables
are available by State including U.S. totals (since 1960), and by
reporting local agency (since 1985).
Victim Notification
VINELink is the
online version of VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday),
the National Victim Notification Network. This service allows crime victims
to obtain timely and reliable information about criminal cases and the
custody status of offenders 24 hours a day.
The Victim Notification System
(VNS) is a cooperative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI), the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), the United
States Attorneys’ offices, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP).
This free, computer-based system provides important information to victims
of federal crimes. In many cases you will receive letters generated through
VNS containing information about the events pertaining to your case and/or
any defendants in the case. This information is also available in English
and Spanish on the Internet and through a toll-free telephone number
(Call Center).
Victims' Rights Compliance
Office of the Victims’ Rights Ombudsman, Executive Office for
United States Attorneys
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has established the
Office of the
Victims’ Rights Ombudsman to receive and investigate complaints
filed by crime victims against its employees. If you are a crime victim
and you believe that a DOJ employee violated or failed to provide you with
one or more of your rights, you may
file a
complaint. A crime victim includes any person who has been directly
and proximately harmed as a result of the commission of a Federal offense
or an offense in the District of Columbia.
