Grant Description

The Bureau of Justice Statistics is seeking proposals to design, develop, and conduct a data collection for the 2011 National Judicial Reporting Program (NJRP). Historically, the NJRP compiled case-level information on the sentences that felons receive in state courts and on demographics of felony offenders. It excluded federal courts and state or local courts that do not adjudicate adult felony cases. The 2011 NJRP will build on past collections and ongoing redesign work to develop a more comprehensive and continuous collection of criminal cases disposed in state courts. The successful applicant will complete ongoing redesign work and develop an administrative data collection that includes key measures of interest from a nationally representative sample, including statewide data where appropriate.
