ICR Details

OMB Control No: 1121-0184	ICR Reference No: 201008-1121-003
Status: Historical Active	Previous ICR Reference No: 200810-1121-003
Agency/Subagency: DOJ/OJP	Agency Tracking No: BJS
Title: School Crime Supplement to the National Victimization Survey
Type of Information Collection: No material or nonsubstantive change to a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 11/10/2010
	Date Received in OIRA: 09/01/2010
Terms of Clearance: OMB appreciates that BJS is able to restore previously cut sample to both the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) and this school crime supplement to increase the precision and therefore utility of the survey. OMB is concerned however about the addition of burden in the form of new questions subjected only to limited testing, particularly in content areas not directly associated with crime victimization. Given that the main NCVS is undergoing redesign, this supplement also requires reexamination. Therefore, prior to submitting this collection for its next full clearance cycle, BJS, in concert with the National Center for Education Statistics and experts in criminology, should conduct a systematic review of the survey and its content. This review should assess purpose, burden and response rates, and if BJS decides to continue using content added in recent cycles, the review must also demonstrate that this new content is being analyzed, reported and found useful by stakeholders.
