NORC has applied its expert knowledge of data collection and survey technologies to the topic of criminal justice.  Its national field staff has experience interviewing the incarcerated population while safeguarding respondent confidentiality.

And, recently, NORC developed the use of touch-screen technology for use inside correctional facilities where confidentiality is of heightened concern.

Previous surveys have included the collection of biomarkers for use in assessing the prevalence and indcidence of drug use among those recently arrested.
