  "description": "\r\nThe Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS) provides detailed information on the nature and\r\ncharacteristics of face-to-face contacts between police and the public, including the\r\nreason for and outcome of the contact. The PPCS interviews a nationally representative\r\nsample of U.S. residents age 16 or older as a supplement to the National Crime\r\nVictimization Survey. To date, the PPCS has been conducted six times by BJS:\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\r\n2002 National Survey (NCJ 207845) - covered interactions between police and the public in\r\n2002. These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2002: [UNITED STATES]\r\n(ICPSR 4273). \r\nThe fourth survey - described in the BJS publication Contacts between\r\nPolice and the Public, 2005 (NCJ 215243) - covered interactions between police and the\r\npublic in 2005. These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2005: [UNITED\r\nSTATES] (ICPSR 020020).\r\nThe fifth survey - described in the BJS publication Contacts between Police and the\r\nPublic, 2008 (NCJ 234599) - covered interactions between police and the public in\r\n2008. These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2008 (ICPSR 32022).\r\nThe sixth survey (split sample design due to instrument changes) - new instrument findings described in\r\ntwo publications: Police Behavior During Traffic and Street Stops, 2011 (NCJ 242937) and Requests for Police Assistance, 2011 (NCJ 242938) - covered interactions\r\nbetween police and publice and public perceptions of police in 2011. These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2011 (ICPSR 34276).",
