Crime index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An alternative source of data is the victimization survey, usually conducted via annual interviews with households, whose occupants are asked whether they have been the victim of crime. Critics note that surveys are generally unreliable, especially when they involve discussions of criminal activity. Crime indexes are generated to analyze crime statistics. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Crime_index   (120 words)

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), administered by the Department of Justice, provides different insight into crime than its better-known counterpart, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reports (UCR). The NCVS provides more data into the so-called universe of crime by measuring what some criminologists refer to as the “dark figure of crime,” or crimes that are not reported to law enforcement agencies. www.dushkin.com /text-data/weekly/cr06-25-01.mhtml   (737 words)

Victims are now reporting more types of crime incidents and the survey is capturing previously undetected victimizations. For the first time, the survey is measuring such victimizations as non-rape sexual assault and unwanted or coerced sexual contact that involves a threat or attempt to harm. www.ncjrs.gov /App/Publications/Abstract.aspx?ID=151170   (241 words)

The NCVS is a household-based survey that collects data on the amount and types of crime in the United States.

National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) Series The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) series was designed to achieve three primary objectives: to develop detailed information about the victims and consequences of crime, to estimate the number and types of crimes not reported to police, and to provide uniform measures of selected types of crime. The data include type of crime; severity of the crime; injuries or losses; time and place of occurrence; medical expenses incurred; number, age, race, and sex of offender(s); and relationship of offender(s) to the victim (stranger, casual acquaintance, relative, etc.). Each respondent was asked a series of screen questions to determine if he or she was victimized during the six-month period preceding the first day of the month of the interview. webapp.icpsr.umich.edu /cocoon/NACJD-SERIES/00095.xml   (251 words)
