The Center for Criminal Justice Research works with public safety agencies and social services organizations to provide impartial applied research on criminal justice and public safety issues. CCJR provides analysis, evaluation, and assistance to criminal justice agencies; and community information and education on public safety questions.
Created in 2008 by the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs, CCJR faculty and staff have worked with SPEA and the Center for Urban Policy and the Environment on criminal justice and public safety research projects dating back to 1992. Some of the issues CCJR addresses include crime prevention, criminal justice systems, policing, traffic safety, and youth.

Bicyclists Involved in Indiana Collisions Increased in 2010
In 2010, 1,045 bicyclists were involved in Indiana motor vehicle collisions, a 7 percent increase from 2009 (975). Approximately 9 percent of these individuals experienced serious or life threatening injuries, with 14 suffering fatal injuries and 81 suffering incapacitating injuries. During the winter of 2011, Bicycle Indiana requested the assistance of the Indiana University Center for Criminal Justice Research (CCJR) in analyzing Indiana collisions involving bicycles. A report released by CCJR in spring 2012 summarizes data trends at the national, state, and local levels on traffic collisions involving bicycles between 2006 and 2010. Indiana data were extracted from the Indiana State Police Automated Reporting Information Exchange System (ARIES), as of March 1, 2011.
