Survey of State Criminal History Information Systems
Since 1989, SEARCH conducts a biennial national survey of state criminal history information systems and produces a comprehensive report based on the results. This report provides policymakers, justice administrators, researchers, and other stakeholders with the most authoritative data available on record. The survey documents criminal history data completeness and the processes states use to collect and maintain criminal history information. Recipients typically include members of Congress, governors, attorneys general, law schools, libraries, and public and private organizations.
