Job Description:
Field Interviewers are responsible for
National Inmate Survey - (NIS)
RTI International has been conducting the National Inmate Survey
(NIS) since its inception. - This is the fourth round of NIS data
collection. - -According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS),
as of the end of 2017, there were about 1.5 million inmates in
federal or state prisons across the nation. With these large
numbers often come overcrowded conditions and the possibility of
inmate sexual victimization. Inmates are under the care of federal
or state authorities, and as such, should be safe from
victimization to the extent prevention of such activities is
possible. - Congress recognized that not enough was known about
sexual assault within correctional facilities and set aside funding
to support research and technical assistance. The law requires the
BJS to develop a national data collection on the incidence and
prevalence of sexual victimization within correctional
facilities.
Field Interviewers will be working on the adult correctional
facilities component. The purpose of the study is to gather
information about the prevalence of sexual assault in correctional
facilities around the nation. To address existing problems in
collecting data, the NIS uses audio computer-assisted
self-interviews (ACASI). The ACASI methodology involves inmates
responding to a computer questionnaire using a touch screen,
following audio instructions delivered by headphones.
