Abstract/Description

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is the nation's primary source of information on criminal victimization. Each year, data are obtained from a nationally representative sample of about 240,000 persons in about 150,000 households. Persons are interviewed on the frequency, characteristics, and consequences of criminal victimization in the United States. This panel will describe recent research, products and other updates regarding the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). Panelists will describe efforts to measure school crime victimization during the COVID-19 pandemic and recent findings from the Police Public Contact supplement. Also, the first federal estimates of victimization against persons who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender will be discussed, including the work completed to add these items to the NCVS. Finally, research to develop indicators of workplace violence across several federal data sources will be presented.
