CRIME VICTIMS WITH DISABILITIES AWARENESS

Pub. L. 105–301, Oct. 27, 1998, 112 Stat. 2838 , as amended by Pub. L. 106–402, title IV,
§401(b)(10), Oct. 30, 2000, 114 Stat. 1739 , provided that:
"SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
"This Act may be cited as the 'Crime Victims With Disabilities Awareness Act'.
"SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.
"(a) Findings.-Congress finds that"(1) although research conducted abroad demonstrates that individuals with
developmental disabilities are at a 4 to 10 times higher risk of becoming crime victims than
those without disabilities, there have been no significant studies on this subject conducted in
the United States;
"(2) in fact, the National Crime Victim's Survey, conducted annually by the Bureau of
Justice Statistics of the Department of Justice, does not specifically collect data relating to
crimes against individuals with developmental disabilities;
"(3) studies in Canada, Australia, and Great Britain consistently show that victims with
developmental disabilities suffer repeated victimization because so few of the crimes against
them are reported, and even when they are, there is sometimes a reluctance by police,
prosecutors, and judges to rely on the testimony of a disabled individual, making individuals
with developmental disabilities a target for criminal predators;
"(4) research in the United States needs to be done to"(A) understand the nature and extent of crimes against individuals with
developmental disabilities;
"(B) describe the manner in which the justice system responds to crimes against
individuals with developmental disabilities; and
"(C) identify programs, policies, or laws that hold promises for making the justice
system more responsive to crimes against individuals with developmental disabilities; and
"(5) the National Academy of Science Committee on Law and Justice of the National
Research Council is a premier research institution with unique experience in developing
seminal, multidisciplinary studies to establish a strong research base from which to make
public policy.
"(b) Purposes.-The purposes of this Act are"(1) to increase public awareness of the plight of victims of crime who are individuals with
developmental disabilities;
"(2) to collect data to measure the extent of the problem of crimes against individuals with
developmental disabilities; and
"(3) to develop a basis to find new strategies to address the safety and justice needs of
victims of crime who are individuals with developmental disabilities.
"SEC. 3. DEFINITION OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY.
"In this Act, the term 'developmental disability' has the meaning given the term in section 102
of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 [42 U.S.C. 15002].
"SEC. 4. STUDY.
"(a) In General.-The Attorney General shall conduct a study to increase knowledge and
information about crimes against individuals with developmental disabilities that will be useful in
developing new strategies to reduce the incidence of crimes against those individuals.
"(b) Issues Addressed.-The study conducted under this section shall address such issues as"(1) the nature and extent of crimes against individuals with developmental disabilities;
"(2) the risk factors associated with victimization of individuals with developmental
disabilities;
"(3) the manner in which the justice system responds to crimes against individuals with
developmental disabilities; and

"(4) the means by which States may establish and maintain a centralized computer
database on the incidence of crimes against individuals with disabilities within a State.

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
—Evaluate whether and if so how the
quality, utility, and clarity of the

Abstract: These establishment surveys
provide BJS with the capacity to report
annually on changes in the size and
composition of the community
corrections populations in the United
States. The surveys also track key
outcomes of offenders on probation or
parole, such as completion of
supervision terms and return to
incarceration (or recidivism). Data are
collected from the known universe of
probation and parole supervising
agencies, using central reporters
wherever possible to minimize burden
the public. The ASPP provides the only
national level, regularly collected, data
on the community corrections

populations, and, as such, they inform
this key stage of the criminal justice
process. Revisions include an updated
frame of probation agencies including
additional misdemeanor only
supervising agencies, as well changes to
the probation survey forms (CJ–8 and
CJ–8M) to collect information separately
for felony and misdemeanant probation.
Overview of this information
collection:
1. Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a previously approved
collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
Annual Surveys of Probation and
Parole.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The Annual Surveys of Probation and
Parole (ASPP) contain three forms: CJ–
7: Annual Parole Survey CJ–8: Annual
Probation Survey and CJ–8M: Annual
Probation Survey (Misdemeanant
Supervision Only). The applicable
component within the Department of
Justice is the Bureau of Justice Statistics

Federal Government. The obligation to
respond is voluntary.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The ASPP will collect data
from approximately 860 supervising
agencies. The ASPP will collect data
from approximately 860 supervising
agencies. For each data collection cycle,
we estimate an average burden of 96
minutes for the survey form CJ–7, 150
minutes for the updated survey form CJ–
8, and 20 minutes for the updated
survey form CJ–M. If needed,
respondents to the CJ–7 and CJ–8 will
be contacted by email or telephone to
verify data quality issues. We estimate
that data quality follow-up is needed for
70% of the CJ–7 and CJ–8 respondents
(213) in each cycle and will run an
average of 15 minutes for each
respondent. We estimate a 10-minute
follow-up for half (304) of the CJ–8M
respondents.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There are approximately
3,015 hours, annual burden, associated
with this information collection (1,005
per three years).

Attachment 10- Introducing New CJ-8 Questionnaire Form Email
TO: <>
SUBJECT: Introducing Changes to the Annual Probation Survey (APS)
BODY OF E-MAIL:
Dear <>,
Thank you for your agency’s past participation in the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) Annual Probation
Survey (APS). Your responses are incredibly important for BJS and local and federal policymakers who
rely on the data you provide to make decisions impacting funding and other policies affecting adults on
probation.
After the new year we will be launching the 2023 Annual Probation Survey. I wanted to make you aware
of a few changes to the questionnaire that may impact your preparations for responding to this data
request. In an effort to distinguish adults on misdemeanor probation supervision from those on felony
probation supervision, we are asking agencies to break down their reported population counts into
these two population types.
At its core the questionnaire will, as in previous years, gather information on the number of adults
under probation supervision by your agency throughout the 2023 calendar year and collect information
on the demographics of that population (e.g., most serious offense, supervision status, sex, and race and
ethnicity). However, the updated questionnaire asks that these totals all be reported separately for
adults on misdemeanor and felony probation.
In addition to breaking down population counts by misdemeanor and felony supervision, the updated
Annual Probation Survey (APS) questionnaire will ask your agency to report the number of adults on
probation on December 31, 2023 that fall into various population type categories, where applicable.
Some of these categories are new additions to the Annual Probation Survey. They include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Adults on parole
Adults who have been released from prison to serve a period of time under community
supervision
Adults on some other type of post-custody conditional release
Adults awaiting trial
Adults serving a term of pre-trial probation or other type of probation prior to conviction
Adults in prison
Adults in jail, and
Other offense

In order to assist you with preparing for the survey launch in January, we have uploaded a pdf version of
the questionnaire for you to review these changes discussed above (LINK). We are also extending the
deadline for submission to provide you with additional time you may need to respond to these changes.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns regarding this upcoming revised questionnaire.

Members of the data collection agency, RTI International’s Agency Support Team, can be reached by
calling toll-free (866) 334-4175 or by sending an email to bjs-aps-help@rti.org.
Once again, we thank you for your past participation in the Annual Probation Survey, and we look
forward to working with you once again on this important data collection effort!

1. Hello. My name is [YOUR NAME] and I am calling on behalf of the Bureau of Justice Statistics
regarding the [ANNUAL SURVEYS OF PROBATION AND PAROLE / ANNUAL PROBATION
SURVEY / ANNUAL PAROLE SURVEY]. May I speak to [AH NAME / DP NAME]?
a. IF SPEAKING TO DATA PROVIDER, GO TO 2.
b. IF SPEAKING TO AGENCY HEAD WHO IS NOT THE DATA PROVIDER, GO TO 3.
2. We recently sent to your attention a survey packet describing the study.
3. In November, we sent a mailing introducing the [ANNUAL SURVEYS OF PROBATION AND
PAROLE / ANNUAL PROBATION SURVEY / ANNUAL PAROLE SURVEY] asking you to
designate a respondent. Since that mailing, we have been in contact with your designated respondent,
[DP NAME], via mail and e-mail.
4. Our records indicate that we have not received the survey data for your agency for 2023. I’m calling to
see if you will be able to provide the necessary survey data for your [PROBATION / PAROLE]
agency and if there is anything we can do to assist you in submitting your survey.



Address concerns
 If a DP wants to participate, but does not want to use the web survey, offer to have the helpdesk call
them to discuss alternative methods, such as over the phone. Record the case ID, the name and contact
information of the individual you spoke with, and reason for needing a call-back and let your manager
know.
 If a DP is hesitant to participate because they don’t have a good computer system, let them know that
we accept estimates.
 Offer to send the study information again. Verify the contact information and in the HERO ticket, select
the “NRFU” category and “Requests Login Information Email” subcategory.
 If you learn that you need to speak with someone other than the DP listed in the SMS, call that person.
Follow through with agency contacts until you reach or leave a message for the proper person.
Answer questions
 Is this mandatory? No; however…
 The statistics produced are imperative to understanding the characteristics of the total
population of persons under correctional authority.
 Data such as these are used by state and local criminal justice officials to justify budgets,
compare changes in populations with comparable jurisdictions, and track outcomes of those on
probation.
56

There is no other ongoing, comprehensive, nationally-representative survey of the probation
population.
 How long will the survey take?
 CJ-7 (parole) takes an average of 1.5 hours.
 CJ-8 (probation long) takes an average of 2.5 hours.
 CJ-8M (probation short) takes an average of 20 minutes.
 Users can start, save, and return to the survey at any time.
Help Desk Referrals
 If an agency wants to complete the form while on the phone, email or fax it in, refer them to the
helpdesk:
 E-mail: bjs-aps-help@rti.org
 Phone: 1-866-334-4175
 Fax: 1-866-509-7471
 If an agency has a question on a survey item or how to interpret a question and properly report their
data, tell them the helpdesk will be in touch, or they can reach out themselves if they prefer and give
them the helpdesk number. Either way, alert your supervisor to this case and they will communicate this
to the survey team.
Negotiate due date
 Suggest a due date in two weeks (from the current date) unless the agency describes circumstances
where they will not be able to submit during that time.
 If the date is more than a month away, let the agency know that we will check in with them in a few
weeks to confirm that they are on track for the new due date.
 Check in with the agency every two weeks to confirm they are on track for submission.
Employ refusal conversion
 We can accept estimates in lieu of exact counts.
 We can collect the information via phone or send a form via mail, e-mail or fax.
 If the respondent still refuses, in the HERO ticket select the “NRFU” category and the “Refusal”
subcategory and describe the conversation. Also, update the Survey Status in the SMS to Initial Refusal.










As a last resort, we have four critical items that we would like to collect. These are:
 Your agency’s adult [PROBATION/PAROLE] population on January 1, 2023
 Between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023, how many adults entered
[PROBATION/PAROLE]?
 Between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023, how many adults were discharged from
[PROBATION/PAROLE] supervision?
 Your agency’s adult [PROBATION/PAROLE] population on December 31, 2023? (This
should be equal to the population you provided for January 1, 2023, plus the number who entered
[PROBATION/PAROLE] throughout the year, minus the number of discharges)
