Justice Research and Statistics Association

The Justice Research and Statistics Association (JRSA) is a national nonprofit organization of state Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs), researchers, and practitioners throughout government, academia, and justice organizations. JRSA members form a network of justice professionals dedicated to policy-relevant research and practice. The association was created in 1974 to promote cooperation and the exchange of criminal justice information among the states. The Justice Research and Statistics Association is a 501 (c)(3) organization and SAC Directors serve as the voting members of the Association.

SACs contribute to viable, effective policy development in their states through statistical services, research, evaluation, and policy analysis. Through the United States Bureau of Justice Statistics’ (BJS) State Justice Statistics Program, SACs also undertake statistical research and analysis on themes selected by BJS and JRSA that reflect issues of current concern and significance to the justice community. JRSA collects information annually in a computerized index called the Infobase of State Activities and Research (ISAR) on SAC research, analyses, and activities, as well as reports and publications.
