Race and Ethnicity of Violent Crime Offenders and Arrestees, 2018
From the Document: "In 2018, based on data from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, black people were overrepresented among persons arrested for nonfatal violent crimes (33%) and for serious nonfatal violent crimes (36%) relative to their representation in the U.S. population (13%). White people were underrepresented. White people accounted for 60% of U.S. residents but 46% of all persons arrested for rape, robbery, aggravated assault, and other assault, and 39% of all arrestees for nonfatal violent crimes excluding other assault. Hispanics, regardless of their race, were overrepresented among arrestees for nonfatal violent crimes excluding other assault (21%) relative to their representation in the U.S. population (18%). These UCR data on incidents of nonfatal violent crime can be compared to data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) to determine how much offense and arrest differences by race and ethnicity can be attributed to differences in criminal involvement. The NCVS collects information on victims' perceptions of offenders' race, ethnicity, and other characteristics in incidents of violent crime. This survey is administered to persons age 12 or older from a nationally representative sample of U.S. households. The 2018 NCVS data file includes interviews from 151,055 households."

Sexual Victimization in Prisons and Jails Reported by Inmates, 2011-12: National Inmate Survey, 2011-12
From the description of "National Inmate Survey-3": "Between February 2011 and May 2012, BJS [Bureau of Justice Statistics] completed the third National Inmate Survey (NIS-3) in 233 state and federal prisons, 358 jails, and 15 special confinement facilities operated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the U.S. Military, and correctional authorities in Indian country. The survey, conducted by RTI International (Research Triangle Park, North Carolina), was administered to 92,449 inmates age 18 or older, including 38,251 inmates in state and federal prisons, 52,926 in jails, 573 in ICE facilities, 539 in military facilities, and 160 in Indian country jails. The survey was also administered to juveniles ages 16 to 17 held in adult prisons and jails. Based on 527 completed interviews of juveniles in state prisons and 1,211 interviews in local jails, the NIS-3 provides the first-ever national estimates of sexual victimization of juveniles held in adult facilities. The NIS-3 is part of the National Prison Rape Statistics Program, which collects reported sexual violence from administrative records and allegations of sexual victimization directly from victims through surveys of inmates in prisons and jails and surveys of youth held in juvenile correctional facilities. Administrative records have been collected annually since 2004. Reports by victims of sexual victimization have been collected since 2007."

Sexual Victimization in Juvenile Facilities Reported by Youth, 2012
"Between February 2012 and September 2012, the Bureau of Justice Statistics [BJS] completed the second National Survey of Youth in Custody (NSYC-2) in 273 state-owned or -operated juvenile facilities and 53 locally or privately operated facilities that held adjudicated youth under state contract. The survey was conducted by Westat (Rockville, MD), under a cooperative agreement with BJS. It was administered to 8,707 youth sampled from at least one facility in every state and the District of Columbia. The NSYC-2 is part of the National Prison Rape Statistics Program, which collects reported sexual violence in administrative records and allegations of sexual victimization directly from victims through surveys of inmates in prisons and jails and surveys of youth held in juvenile correctional facilities. BJS has collected administrative records annually since 2004. Victim self�'reports have been periodically collected since 2007 (adult facilities only), followed by surveys in 2008-09 (adult and juvenile facilities) and 2011-12 (adult and juvenile facilities)."

Bureau of Justice Statistics Assessment of the Rape and Sexual Assault Pilot Test
From the Document: "The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) funded the methodological research described in the third-party report, 'Methodological Research to Support the National Crime Victimization Survey: Self-Report Data on Rape and Sexual Assault - Pilot Test' (NCJ 256011, BJS, January 2021). The purpose of the Pilot Test was to develop and test a new methodology for measuring rape and sexual assault, with the goal of collecting more accurate statistics on the nature and frequency of those crimes. The third-party report detailing the results of the Pilot Test does not provide official government statistics, nor does it provide nationwide statistics. This assessment by BJS, published in connection with the third-party report, evaluates the methodology of the Pilot Test, and it provides context for interpreting data presented in the third-party report. During testing, the Pilot Test's methodology--which was developed and tested by Westat in collaboration with BJS--proved problematic in a variety of ways. It generated extremely high rates of rape and sexual assault that deviated profoundly from statistics published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The Pilot Test surveyed a total of about 5,800 females ages 18 to 49 across five metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in 2014 and 2015: Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Phoenix. Through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, state and local law enforcement agencies convey to the FBI how many rapes are reported each year to law enforcement, including in those five MSAs."
