The Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice is seeking public comments on a new study called the “National Study of Interpersonal Violence Experienced by Young Adults.” This study aims to understand interpersonal violence experienced by young adults, both in college and not, by surveying 17,000 individuals aged 18-24 over six years. The study explores various types of violence, including intimate partner violence and stalking, and aims to help identify protective factors and improve support services for victims. Public comments are encouraged until March 6, 2025, to provide feedback on the necessity and effectiveness of this information collection.
Simple Explanation
The Justice Department wants to study young adults to learn about the types of violence they may face, like bullying or mean behavior from partners, by asking lots of questions. They want people's ideas on how to make sure this study is useful and fair.
