National Survey of Victim Service Providers (NSVSP), 2019

The NSVSP is part of BJS’s Victim Services Statistical Research Program that aims to develop a statistical infrastructure around victim services and address major gaps in knowledge about the use of services to support victims of crime or abuse and the interplay between victim services and the criminal justice system. BJS is using a two-phased approach to collect data directly from victim service providers (VSPs). The first phase, the National Census of Victim Service Providers (NCVSP), was completed in 2017 under OMB #1121-0355. The NCVSP produced a comprehensive roster of all active VSPs across the U.S., including a broad range of community-, education-, health- and criminal justice- based organizations, and provided basic descriptive information about these VSPs for the purpose of drawing a representative sample for the second phase of this work- the proposed NSVSP. The NSVSP is a longer survey, designed to collect detailed information on services provided, staffing, and organizational constraints.
