Bureau of Justice Statistics Unveils NCVS Victimization Data Analysis Tool
The National Crime Victimization Survey Data Analysis Tool enables data users to view data on both violent and property victimization by select victim, household, and incident characteristics. The NCVS collects information on nonfatal crimes, reported and not reported to the police, against persons age 12 or older from a nationally representative sample of U.S. households. Violent crimes measured by the NCVS include rape and sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault. Property crimes include household burglary, motor vehicle theft, and theft. Users can instantly generate tables with national estimates of the numbers, rates, and percents of victimization from 1993 to the most recent year that NCVS data are available.
