Coming Soon

OJJDP's NISMART Bulletin series presents findings from the Second National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children (NISMART–2). These publications offer national estimates of missing children based on surveys of households, juvenile residential facilities, and law enforcement agencies. They also provide statistical profiles of these children, including their demographic characteristics and the circumstances of their disappearance.

The next Bulletin in the NISMART series, currently in production, will draw on NISMART–2 data to present a special analysis of sexually assaulted children. Sexually Assaulted Children: National Estimates and Characteristics will estimate the number of children assaulted nationwide and describe the characteristics of victims, perpetrators, and incidents. The Bulletin will also explore methodological issues in estimating the incidence and nature of child sexual assaults.
