Abstract:
This is a request for a 3-year generic clearance for the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) that will allow it to develop, test, and improve its survey and data collection instruments and methodologies. The procedures utilized to this effect include, but are not limited to, tests of various types of survey and data collection operations, focus groups, cognitive laboratory activities, pilot testing, field testing, exploratory interviews, experiments with questionnaire design, and usability testing of electronic data collection instruments. A nonsubstantive change is requested to increase the number of respondents and burden hours to accommodate projects related to the Campus Climate Sexual Assault work that was not originally envisioned when the Generic IC was developed.
