• In Event: Results from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS)

Abstract

The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey is an ongoing, nationally representative survey that assesses experiences of sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence among adult women and men in the United States and for each individual state. The primary objectives of the survey are to describe the prevalence and characteristics of sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence in the United States; who is most likely to experiences these forms of violence; the context in which sexual violence, stalking and intimate partner violence are experienced; and the consequences and impacts of these forms of violence. This presentation provides an overview of the NISVS, a description of the samples used in 2010, and a summary of the data and documentation that are available through the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD). This presentation also provides instructions for accessing these restricted data.
