Through OVC, the Fund supports a broad array of programs and services that focus on helping victims in the immediate aftermath of crime and continuing to support them as they rebuild their lives.

Established in 1978, the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD) archives and disseminates data on crime and justice for secondary analysis. The archive contains data from over 3,100 curated studies or statistical data series. NACJD is home to several large-scale and well known datasets, including the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), and the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN).
BJS has updated its Law Enforcement Agency Reported Crime Analysis Tool (LEARCAT) with recently released 2022 crime data and refreshed 2021 data. LEARCAT provides access to incident-based data on crimes recorded by law enforcement using data from the FBI’s Nat ional Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), as well as contextual information from other federal data sources, such as the U.S. Census Bureau. The tool includes crime incident and victimization information at the state, county, and local law enforcement agency levels.
LEARCAT enables users to—
• produce custom views of NIBRS data to show various attributes of crime
• produce custom datasets for analysis
• generate univariate statistics and perform basic cross-tabulation analyses.
LEARCAT includes NIBRS data from 2016 through 2022. BJS plans to enhance the functionality of and add updated data to the tool, based on the availability of data and resources.
The Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, people with print disabilities, and the general public. Our mission is to provide Universal Access to All Knowledge. We began in 1996 by archiving the Internet itself, a medium that was just beginning to grow in use. Like newspapers, the content published on the web was ephemeral - but unlike newspapers, no one was saving it. Today we have 28+ years of web history accessible through the Wayback Machine and we work with 1,200+ library and other partners through our Archive-It program to identify important web pages. As our web archive grew, so did our commitment to providing digital versions of other published works. Today our archive contains:
835 billion web pages
44 million books and texts
15 million audio recordings (including 255,000 live concerts)
10.6 million videos (including 2.6 million Television News programs)
4.8 million images
1 million software programs
Anyone with a free account can upload media to the Internet Archive. We work with thousands of partners globally to save copies of their work into special collections.

Public Knowledge Projects was formed out of the internet’s original promise of a greater democratization of knowledge in an Age of Information. Its members continue to develop tools that are bringing about more equitable global participation in, and partaking of, this form of knowledge. Our research also contributes to these very questions of how research and scholarship work in the world. Over the last two decades, we have seen this mission of increasing public access to carefully reviewed and vetted research grow in importance as a counterforce to the online rise of misinformation.

Journal of Illicit Economies and Development. Illicit economies have a major yet often overlooked influence on the development trajectories of countries. With a large number of people globally involved in the supply chains of illicit markets, these have undermined governance and catalysed insecurity in some contexts, whilst consolidating power and providing important economic spillovers for marginalised communities in others. The ways in which these markets influence and intertwine with development processes have historically been overlooked, with research produced in academic siloes. …This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
