The Survey of Crime Victimization is being conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) of the
Department of Justice, and NORC, a research organization at the University of Chicago. For this study,
we are asking questions about attitudes and experiences with crime.
If you agree to participate, I will ask you some questions about crime and your experience with crime
victimization. Your responses will be completely confidential. The survey should take between 20‐60
minutes, depending on your personal experiences with crime and crime victimization.
All information that you provide will be kept confidential. Your name will not be attached to the answers
that you provide. All responses are held to strict federal laws regarding human subject protections (28
