The PPCS interviews a nationally representative sample of United States residents aged 16 years or older as a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey. To date, the PPCS has been conducted five times by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS):\r\n\r\nThe first survey -- described in the BJS publication Police Use of Force: Collection of National Data\r\n(NCJ 165040) -- documented levels of contacts with police during 1996.\r\nThe second survey -- described in Contacts between Police and the Public: Findings from the\r\n1999 National Survey (NCJ 184957) -- recorded police-citizen contacts in 1999. These data are\r\narchived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 1999: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 3151).\r\nThe third survey -- described in Contacts between Police and the Public: Findings from the 2002\r\nNational Survey (NCJ 207845) -- covered interactions between police and the public in 2002. These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2002: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 4273).\r\nThe fourth survey -- described in the BJS publication, Contacts between Police and the Public, 2005 (NCJ 215243) -- covered interactions between police and the public in 2005. These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2005: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 20020).\r\nThe fifth survey -- described in the BJS publication, Contacts between Police and the Public, 2008 (NCJ 234599) -- covered interactions between police and the public in 2008. These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2008 (ICPSR 32022).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR32022.v1", "title": "Police-Public Contact Survey, 2008"}], "identifier": "271", "isPartOf": "2432", "issued": "2011-10-05T13:42:19", "keyword": ["police citizen interactions", "police community relations", "police officers", "police use of force", "public interest", "public opinion"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2011-10-05T13:42:19", "programCode": ["011:061"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Bureau of Justice Statistics", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Police-Public Contact Survey, 2008"}
