NCRP Data - Restricted Access

The National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) data are currently available only as Restricted-Use Data through the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD). The reason for removing the NCRP data from the direct public access has to do with BJS' response to new requirements pertaining to protecting the confidentiality of persons in statistical data collections. BJS and NACJD are undertaking a data disclosure review of the NCRP data. This process will identify whether some details should be made available only through restricted access. If any details are identified, a new public version of NCRP data will be made available on the NACJD Web site, and users needing more detail will be able to request the restricted data files. Please contact nacjd@icpsr.umich.edu with any questions or concerns.

The restricted data contain the same variables that have previously been publicly available through NACJD. Users interested in obtaining these data must complete a Restricted Data Use Agreement form and specify the reasons for the request. A copy of the Restricted Data Use Agreement form can be downloaded at: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/NACJD/private/, or requested by calling 800-999-0960. Completed forms should be returned to:

Director, National Archive of Criminal Justice Data
Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
Institute for Social Research
P.O. Box 1248
University of Michigan
Ann Arbor, MI 48106-1248
or by fax: 734-647-8200

Upon submission and approval of the restricted access application, NCRP data, with the level of detail traditionally made available, will be sent to the user.
