Our focus on criminal justice includes the study of the operations and clientele of law enforcement and criminal justice programs.

NORC staff members have substantive expertise in topics such as:

• Homeland security
• Death penalty
• Violence against women
• Homicide and Violent Crime
• Human trafficking

Of special note is NORC's record of conducting surveys of correctional institutions and facilities; law enforcement agencies; and its ground breaking data collection methods used for interviewing incarcerated respondents on sensitive topics where confidentiality is of heightened importance.
