Survey of Crime Victimization

Web Instrument

REVISED 2/1/12


WAVE 2 REFERENCE PERIOD STARTS ON DATE OF THE HH MEMBER’S WAVE 1 INTERVIEW AND ENDS ON THE DAY PRIOR TO THE CURRENT INTERVIEW DATE.


INFORMED CONSENT SCREEN:

Your address is one of over 3,800 scientifically sampled for participation in the Survey of Crime Victimization (SCV), sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). The purpose of the study is to gather information on crimes experienced by individuals and households. The results will be used to improve the way BJS measures crime in the U.S.


The SCV asks about the types and amount of crime committed against you and your household. It also asks about characteristics of the victims affected by the offenses and the offenders who have committed these crimes. During the survey, you will never be asked to identify or report any offenders by name. The survey will take about 10-20 minutes on average.


Participation in the SCV is voluntary, and there are no penalties for refusing to answer any questions. The only potential risk to participating is that you may become uneasy about some of the questions in the survey. You may skip any question or stop the survey at any time. Federal law assures that all the information you provide will be kept confidential and used for research purposes only. Your name and address will not be connected to the answers that you provide.


If you have any questions about the SCV, please call the project toll-free number, 1-866-xxx-xxxx. If you have questions about your rights as a study participant, call RTI’s Office of Research Protection at 1-866-214-2043 (a toll-free number).


Press Next to continue with the survey.
