Public Awareness

The Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) collects information on victims of domestic violence reported through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program. Victim counts are collected for the following offenses: aggravated assault, simple assault, sex offenses, and violation of protective orders. For the first time, this domestic violence victim information, as well as comparable data from New York City, is now available on DCJS’s website, broken out by police jurisdiction.

While DCJS has collected this data since 1979, domestic violence reporting procedures were modified in 2008 to improve the quality of the data in an effort to inform policy decisions in this important area. Data prior to 2009 is not available. A summary of the modification made in 2008 can be found at: www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us/crimnet/ojsa/crimereporting/
