2010 National Survey of Prosecutors

BJS is seeking proposals to obtain a data collection agent for the 2010 National Survey of Prosecutors (NSP-10). The NSP-10, will focus on the administration of prosecution activities and the emerging types of cases and knowledge from a nationally representative sample of approximately 475 prosecutor offices that handle felony cases in state court. The survey will obtain basic information on staffing, salaries, and budgets, and may also include measures of emerging prosecution techniques and issues, such as community prosecution, computer and internet related crimes, sex offenders, and use of forensic and DNA evidence, plea bargaining, as well as others.
