on Child and Family Statistics
childstats.gov
This is what the site
offers: "easy access to federal and state statistics and reports on children and
their families, including population and family characteristics, economic security,
health, behavior and social environment, and education." Interesting reports include
"America's Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being," the annual report
on the status of the nation's children, and "Nurturing Fatherhood."
Federal Bureau of
Investigation
www.fbi.gov
The official site of the
FBI provides the Uniform Crime Reports, which provide several years' worth of
state-by-state data (and graphics) on domestic violence.
Public Agenda
www.publicagenda.com
"The inside source
for public opinion and policy analysis," created as a resource for journalists,
offers facts (some in graphic form) for understanding various issues, as well as analyses
of public opinion survey data and of public policy news and studies. One feature
increasing this site's credibility is its "red flags" about potentially
misleading poll results. Among the social issues addressed is the state of the American
family.
