The Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP), conducted every other year, asks juvenile residential custody facilities in the United States to describe all youth assigned a bed in the facility on a specified reference date. In 2011, the reference date was Wednesday, October 26 (the last Wednesday in October).

Each record in the data provides information on a juvenile in a residential facility on the reference date, including information on placement (e.g. placing agency), the judicial process (e.g. court adjudication status), and demographics (e.g. age). Each record that provides information about a juvenile also includes information about institutional characteristics (e.g. facility type, use of locked doors or gates), treatment services, and population of the facility in which the juvenile was held. Therefore, CJRP data can be analyzed at the individual or facility level.

Some state and regional agencies provide CJRP data for more than one facility under their jurisdiction. The census was not sent to adult facilities or to facilities exclusively for drug or mental health treatment or for abused or neglected children.

The purpose of the Census of Juveniles on Probation (CJP) was to collect individual-level data about youth on probation, including their numbers and characteristics. The CJP survey asked respondents to report the total number of juveniles on formal probation within their reporting jurisdiction on the reference date of October 24, 2012.

For each youth on probation, responding agencies were asked to provide the following information: sex, date of birth, race, most serious offense, state and county where most serious offense was committed, and the state and county where the juvenile resided on the census reference date.

This data collection contains the national data.

Tools for Life: Relationship-Building Solutions (TFL) is a program designed to improve school climate and safety through the proactive development of elementary and middle school students' interpersonal skills (relationship-building and communication) and intrapersonal skills (self-regulation and resiliency). In the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 school years, the Jackson (Mississippi) Public School District (JPSD) implemented TFL in grades 1 through 8. RAND researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial to determine whether TFL, integrated into existing school practices, positively affected school climate and safety in the district.

This project described the implementation of TFL in JPSD, calculated its costs, and evaluated the program's effectiveness. TFL was designed to improve whole-school change in relationships among staff and students, but the project researchers found that implementation of TFL in JPSD schools was generally shallow, and the program was rarely, if at all, implemented across a whole school as it was designed. TFL had little impact: After one year of implementation, there were no practically or statistically significant differences between schools that implemented TFL and those that did not in measures of students' social and emotional, school climate, behavioral, or achievement outcomes. In addition to the uneven implementation of the program, methodological limitations of the study and contextual factors in JPSD may have contributed to these finding.

This study used an experimental design to evaluate law enforcement officers' driving, visual attention, and situation awareness during patrol driving. The conditions were varied to determine the impact of information presentation formats on officers' ability to execute patrols. In addition, the effectiveness of in-vehicle technologies that may provide additional support to the officer and reduce the impact of information overload were investigated.

The Juvenile Residential Facility Census (JRFC), which is conducted biennially, collects basic information on juvenile residential facility characteristics, including security, capacity and crowding, injuries and deaths in custody, and facility ownership and operation. The JRFC also includes questions about facility type (such as detention center, training school, ranch, or group home) and residential services provided by the facility (such as independent living, foster care, or other arrangements).

In 2012, the JRFC was divided into four sections:

1. General facility information
2. Events in the 30 days prior to the census reference date
3. Deaths in the year prior to the census reference date
4. Space shared with other facilities

Congress requires the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to report annually on the number of deaths of juveniles in custody; the JRFC gathers this information and offers a portrait of the nation's juvenile facilities. The census reference date was the fourth Wednesday in October.

This study is an evaluation of the "fast-track" program that was created to alleviate caseload pressures caused by a dramatic increase in immigration-related cases. This program allows a federal prosecutor to offer a below guideline sentence in exchange for a defendant's prompt guilty plea and a waiver of certain rights. Research questions addressed in the study included: (1) to what extent do fast-track programs impact the efficient processing of (primarily) immigration cases and (2) to what extent does prosecutorial discretion exercised in fast-track processing contribute to sentencing disparity.

The objective of this project was to use a mixed methods approach to expand the understanding of constructs important to resilience after children's exposure to violence (CEV), expand the range of outcomes examined, develop and refine measures appropriate for youth, and identify protective factors that could be targets for prevention and intervention. Eight focus groups and 24 cognitive interviews were conducted with parents and youth to explore resilience constructs. These were followed by a survey completed by 440 youth ages 10 to 21, recruited from youth-serving organizations. Key variables in this collection include demographics such as age, gender, and education; experience of violence; and physical and psychological well-being.

The data collection includes:

• Survey data file, NCAC.CEVres.survey-data_Updated.sav, n=440, 208 variables
• Focus group data file, NCAC.CEVres.Focus-group-transcripts.pdf, n=70
• Cognitive interview data file, NCAC.CEVres.Cognitive-interview-transcripts_updated.pdf, n=24

The focus group and interview data files are not available at this time, even under restricted use.

2. Examine the impediments and facilitators of successful implementation of NIBIN.
3. Understand the extent to which NIBIN helps identify suspects and increase arrests for firearms crimes.
4. Understand best practices for the implementation of NIBIN at agencies and for criminal investigations.

The growing use of contraband wireless devices, particularly cell phones, smuggled in correctional facilities, is a significant problem across the country. Inmates behind bars may use these devices to organize gang activities, run drug operations, and even plan escapes, which may threaten the safety and welfare of other inmates, prison employees and the general public. To combat the use of contraband cell phones, some radio-based technologies have been investigated, which primarily fall into the following three categories:

• radio jamming systems which disrupt the communication link between the wireless device and the transceiver outside of the prison by continuously transmitting on the same radio frequencies as the contraband wireless device, and thus make the device unusable behind bars;
• managed access systems (MAS) which build a private micro-cellular network over the whole facility in which all radio transmissions to carrier networks, e.g., calls or messages originating from inside or outside prisons, are captured, and only those authorized transmissions from and/or to a "white list" of preregistered wireless devices are allowed; and
• passive detection systems which identify and localize various sources of unapproved wireless transmissions from prisons.

It has been known that a jamming system may interfere with authorized calls including public safety communications (e.g., 9-1-1 calls), particularly when multiple frequency bands are involved, and a MAS is usually prohibitively expensive in its installation and operation due to the needs of covering many different commercial networks and frequency bands with an optimized footprint. In contrast, the detection system offers a passive solution in that detection systems do not transmit any radio signals and thus do not interfere with other transmissions. Therefore, the overall objective of this project is to develop an effective and low-cost contraband interdiction system (CIS) for identifying, localizing, and tracking unauthorized wireless devices such as cell phones and WiFi devices in correctional facilities, through the use and development of advanced machine learning algorithms for fingerprinting radio frequency (RF) signals originating from an unauthorized wireless device.
