What Is the National Crime Victimization Survey?

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is a nationwide survey based on a sample of households. The survey collects detailed information about people's experiences with and responses to personal and property crimes, like theft, burglary, and assault.

The NCVS provides information used by law enforcement, law makers, courts, and correctional agencies to improve their effectiveness and planning. Academics and researchers use the NCVS data to prepare reports and scholarly publications, which are used in a number of academic disciplines, including sociology, criminology, psychology, and political science.
