Statistics on Crime and Criminal Justice

The Department of Justice's Statistics on Crime and Criminal Justice program (CFDA 16.551) has not disbursed grant awards since May 1, 1997—nearly three decades ago. The portfolio contains a single recorded award: a Cooperative Agreement (97BJCXK001) to support the South Carolina State Justice Statistics Program, with a completion date of June 30, 2000. No recent grant opportunities are documented, and no active funding activity supports current pursuit of this program.

The program's original mandate encompassed support for state-level crime and criminal justice statistical initiatives. The single historical award funded development of statewide justice statistics capacity, a scope consistent with the program's stated purpose of advancing data collection and analysis on the criminal justice system.

The recorded financial obligation shows a negative value (−$33,791), which typically indicates a prior-year deobligation or cost adjustment rather than new funding. This is the sole documented transaction under the program. The Department of Justice remains the exclusive funding agency represented in the portfolio, though the absence of awards since 1997 renders funding concentration analysis immaterial.

No grants have been awarded under this Assistance Listing within the past 29 years, and no recently posted opportunities exist. The program either remains dormant, has been superseded by other DOJ statistical initiatives, or operates under different mechanisms not reflected in this data. Business development professionals should verify the current operational status of CFDA 16.551 directly with the Department of Justice before allocating pursuit resources, as the funding history does not support active competitive solicitation.
