  • Easy Access to FBI Arrest Statistics has been updated to include data through 2009. Users can access National, State, and County arrest estimates. Choose between displays of arrests and arrest rates for juveniles (persons under age 18), adults, or all ages combined. Displays present arrest statistics for 29 detailed offense categories

  • Easy Access to NIBRS: Victims for Domestic Violence has been updated to include data through 2009. EZANIBRS allows users to analyze state-level data on victims of domestic violence based on information collected by the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). Users can explore the characteristics of domestic violence victims, including demographic information of the victim (age, sex, and race), victim injury, and the victim-offender relationship. Data are based on incidents reported in 2009 from law enforcement agencies in 32 states.

  • Compendium of National Juvenile Justice Data Sets has been redesigned. This online resource for researchers is intended as an aid to investigations of juvenile offending, victimization, and contact with the juvenile justice system. It both publicizes data sources that users may find valuable and provides information intended to help with the practical aspects of obtaining and analyzing data.

  • FAQs describing teen mothers and educational characteristics were updated to include data through 2010 and 2009, respectively.

  • FAQs describing juvenile victims, specifically child maltreatment victims and school crime victimization were updated to the most current data year.
