BJS FY 10 Visiting Fellow: National Crime Victimization Survey

Closing Date
BJS invites candidates to apply to its Visiting Fellow Program to undertake methodological research to enhance its capacity to redesign its NCVS. To accomplish these aims, the Fellow's methodological work would focus primarily on two objectives: developing a modular crime incident report and evaluating the optimal method to incorporate repeat victimization into annual estimates.
