Assessing Forensic Intelligence Models
We’re accustomed to thinking about forensic data as something that goes from a crime scene to a lab to a courtroom, but there’s tremendous potential to use that information earlier in the investigative cycle, and even across cases collectively,” Director La Vigne. A new report summarizes NIJ’s Forensic Intelligence Framework Initiative, in which experts examined the implementation of forensic intelligence models that support law enforcement operations.
Equity-Based School Safety Strategies
School safety is a complex topic, and there is no single approach to address it. A new white paper combines knowledge on school safety strategies that have a specific focus on creating a safe and equitable environment for all students. It also presents recommendations for equity in school safety.
Polyvictimization
Polyvictimization is generally defined as an experience or experiences of multiple types of violence, abuse, mistreatment, or other adversities. Polyvictimization typically refers to two or more different types of victimization — such as sexual violence and physical abuse — rather than multiple episodes of a single type of victimization.
Criminal Justice Data Archives

The website is home to several large-scale datasets, including the National Crime Victimization Survey, FBI's Uniform Crime Reports and National Incident-Based Reporting System, and the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods.
