NIJ-sponsored researchers submit their data to the Data Resources Program at the conclusion of projects. Machine- readable data, codebooks, and other documentation are reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and clarity. These materials are also edited if necessary, augmented with descriptive materials, and deposited with the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data. The data resources publication describes all NIJ-sponsored data available as of October 1993. Each abstract provides information on the basic purpose and methodology of the original research, the unit of observation, the number of records, the number of variables, and geographic and temporal coverage of the research.
