BJS FY 10 Visiting Fellows Program: Drugs and Crime Statistical Series Design Program

BJS invites candidates to apply to its Visiting Fellow Program to undertake methodological research to enhance its capacity to implement an arrestee drug use monitoring program. The redesigned program will collect drug use data and will produce reliable estimates of the prevalence of drug use among arrestees. The selected Visiting Fellow will be involved in efforts to assess the reliability of biological and survey responses, and methods to generate reliable estimates of drug use by those who enter the criminal justice system.
