OMB appreciates that BJS is able to restore previously cut sample to both the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) and this school crime supplement to increase the precision and therefore utility of the survey. OMB is concerned however about the addition of burden in the form of new questions subjected only to limited testing, particularly in content areas not directly associated with crime victimization. Given that the main NCVS is undergoing redesign, this supplement also requires reexamination. Therefore, prior to submitting this collection for its next full clearance cycle, BJS, in concert with the National Center for Education Statistics and experts in criminology, should conduct a systematic review of the survey and its content. This review should assess purpose, burden and response rates, and if BJS decides to continue using content added in recent cycles, the review must also demonstrate that this new content is being analyzed, reported and found useful by stakeholders.
