§41304 Family and Domestic Violence: Data Collection and Reporting

Summary

The Attorney General must make sure national crime reports include each victim’s age and how the victim and offender were related for murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, rape, sexual offenses, and crimes against children. The Bureau of Justice Statistics must use the National Crime Survey to collect and publish better information on domestic violence, especially physical and sexual abuse of children and the elderly. Money was authorized for fiscal years 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992 in whatever amounts were needed to carry out these requirements.
