"SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
"This Act may be cited as the 'Crime Victims With Disabilities Awareness Act'.
"SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSES.
"(a) FINDINGS.-Congress finds that"(1) although research conducted abroad demonstrates that individuals with developmental
disabilities are at a 4 to 10 times higher risk of becoming crime victims than those without disabilities,
there have been no significant studies on this subject conducted in the United States;
"(2) in fact, the National Crime Victim's Survey, conducted annually by the Bureau of Justice
Statistics of the Department of Justice, does not specifically collect data relating to crimes against
individuals with developmental disabilities;
"(3) studies in Canada, Australia, and Great Britain consistently show that victims with
developmental disabilities suffer repeated victimization because so few of the crimes against them are
reported, and even when they are, there is sometimes a reluctance by police, prosecutors, and judges
to rely on the testimony of a disabled individual, making individuals with developmental disabilities a
target for criminal predators;
"(4) research in the United States needs to be done to"(A) understand the nature and extent of crimes against individuals with developmental
disabilities;
"(B) describe the manner in which the justice system responds to crimes against individuals
with developmental disabilities; and
"(C) identify programs, policies, or laws that hold promises for making the justice system more
responsive to crimes against individuals with developmental disabilities; and
"(5) the National Academy of Science Committee on Law and Justice of the National Research
Council is a premier research institution with unique experience in developing seminal, multidisciplinary
studies to establish a strong research base from which to make public policy.
"(b) PURPOSES.-The purposes of this Act are"(1) to increase public awareness of the plight of victims of crime who are individuals with
developmental disabilities;

NATIONAL SURVEY OF CRIME AND SAFETY (NSCS)
Adult Consent Form
Introduction
The National Survey of Crime and Safety is sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) at
the Department of Justice (DOJ). Westat, an independent research firm, is conducting the study.
Purpose of the study
The NSCS Study measures victimization in the United States by asking questions of adults and
youth all over the country about whether they have been a victim of any crime in the past 12
months. The study seeks to describe victimization in America, including descriptions of which
types of people are more likely to be victimized. You don’t have to be a victim to take part in
the study. We need counts of people who are victims and counts of people who are not victims
to have a full understanding of victimization in the United States.
Your participation
We would like your consent to participate in this one-time interview. If you agree, the Westat
researcher will ask you questions about different areas of life, including personal
victimization experiences (if any), health status and disabilities, as well as background
questions, such as race and ethnicity. The researcher may also ask about your attitudes about
your local community and/or local police. If there is a question that you do not want to answer
or talk about, you can skip it.
Your participation is voluntary. You do not have to do this and you can stop answering
questions at any point.
The interview will be conducted in private and will generally take between 20 minutes and 40
minutes, depending on your experiences. The interviewer requests to conduct the interview in a
private setting so that others cannot overhear the interview.
For quality control purposes, a supervisor may contact your household after you complete an
interview to verify that the Westat interviewer followed procedures correctly.
Benefits and risks of participation
There are no direct benefits to you for participating in this study, but information from the
study will help give the Bureau of Justice Statistics a better understanding of victimization
in this country. The study may also benefit your community and the Nation by improving
programs that focus on community safety or policing.
If you feel uncomfortable about any of the questions, it’s OK to skip those questions. One
possible risk is that some questions may upset you if you experienced a recent victimization.
There is also a possible risk that survey answers could be revealed, but we take several steps
to protect your privacy and to prevent this from happening.
Protection of personal information
The study has several safeguards in place to protect the identities of all participants,
including yours.
We’ll treat all of the information in this study as private. The information will be used
only for research purposes.
1
We’ll label your interview answers with a code number only, not your name.
We’ll store all personal information in a protected computer file separate from the
interview data. We’ll keep the key to the code in a password-protected database.
We’ll combine your data with those of other people in the study. In addition, we’ll only
put information about groups of people in our reports. This means we can’t put information
about individuals in any report about the NSCS Study.
We’ll destroy all personal information that could identify you, like your name, address,
and phone number, after this phase of the study is over.
We would like to record the interview. Sometimes it is helpful to review a portion of a
recording to better understand how the interview went. If the recording is reviewed later, it
will only be by a few Westat staff and possibly the client (BJS). We may use answers from the
recordings in our research reports but we never include names in the reports. If you choose
not to allow your interview to be recorded, that’s okay.
To help keep everything private:
Your name will not be recorded on the interview notes or reported in any reports.
Everything that you say will be confidential – that is, no one outside the research team
will know what you told us.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is authorized to conduct this data collection under 34
U.S.C. § 10132. BJS will protect and maintain the confidentiality of personally identifiable
information (PII) to the fullest extent under federal law. BJS, its employees, and its
contractors (Westat staff) will only use the information provided for statistical or research
purposes pursuant to 34 U.S.C. § 10134. All PII collected under BJS’s authority is protected
under the confidentiality provisions of 34 U.S.C. § 10231. Any person who violates these
provisions may be punished by a fine up to $10,000, in addition to any other penalties imposed
by law. Further, per the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015 (6 U.S.C. § 151), federal
information systems are protected from malicious activities through cybersecurity screening of
transmitted data. Since the survey is protected under 34 U.S.C. § 10134 and 10231, even if we
learn that you or someone else is harming you or others around you, we are legally not allowed
to report this to the police or anyone else. However, you are free to tell anyone about your
experiences. We will be giving everyone who completes the survey a link to a website that has
contact information for people who can help.
Questions
You can ask the interviewer any questions you have about this study.
If you have any other questions about the study, call Westat’s toll-free number, 1-855-8496119, weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. and weekends between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Subjects Protections office at 1-888-920-7631. Please leave a message with your first name,
the name of the research study that you are calling about (National Survey of Crime and
Safety), and a phone number beginning with the area code. A Westat IRB representative will
return your call as soon as possible.

NATIONAL SURVEY OF CRIME AND SAFETY (NSCS)
Youth Assent to Participate
Introduction
You are being asked to take part in the National Survey of Crime and Safety (NSCS). A government
agency called the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) at the Department of Justice (DOJ) has asked
Westat to conduct the NSCS.
Purpose of the study
The NSCS asks questions of adults and youth all over the country about whether they have experienced
any crime in the past 12 months. Even if you haven’t been the victim of crime, we still want to
include you in this study. We need counts of people who are victims and counts of people who are
not victims to fully understand crime in the country.
It will take between 20 minutes and 40 minutes, depending on your experiences.
Your participation
We are asking you to take part in today’s interview. Your parent or guardian has said it is ok for
us to ask you to participate, but the interview is voluntary. It’s up to you if you want to take
part. You don’t have to take part in the interview. You can skip any questions that you don’t want
to answer and you can stop the interview at any time.
We’d like to ask you the questions in private, but if you would rather have a parent or another
adult in the room with you during the interview, that’s ok too. We will not attach your name to any
of your answers, and we will not share your answers with anyone outside of our research team, like
your parents, your school, the authorities, or anyone else.
Benefits and risks of participation
We can’t give you anything for answering the survey. But when we combine the answers you give with
the answers from other children your age around the country, the information may help improve the
safety of millions of Americans.
It is possible that some questions may upset or bother you.
don’t want to answer.
Again, you can skip any question you
Protection of personal information
The study will protect your information which means we will not share any of your answers with your
parents, your school, or the authorities.
We’ll treat all of the information in this study as private. BJS researchers use the survey
answers to inform their research about people’s experience with crime across the country.
We’ll label your interview answers with a code number only, not your name.
We’ll combine your answers with other youth who participate in the study. In addition, we’ll
only put information about groups of people in our reports. This means we can’t put
information about individuals in any report about the NSCS Study.
We’ll destroy all personal information that could identify you, like your name, address, and
phone number, after the study is over.

with anyone outside of the study team. We cannot share your answers with your parents,
anyone in your school or the authorities. However, you are free to tell anyone about your
experiences.
This means that even if you tell us that someone else is harming you, or others around you, we
are not allowed to report this information to anyone else. But we will give everyone who
completes the survey phone numbers and links to websites that have contact information for
people who can help.

{We will begin by asking your {child's/children's} opinions about things such as community
safety or the local police. Then we will ask whether your child has been a victim of crime in the
last 12 months./We will ask your {child/children} questions about whether he/she has been a
victim of different types of crimes during the past 12 months.} If your {child was/children

participate, and then it is up to your {child/children} – your {child does not/children do not}
have to do this and he/she can stop answering questions at any point.
There are no direct benefits for you or your {child/children} by participating in the study, but
information from the study may benefit your community and the Nation by improving programs
that focus on community safety or policing.
Children who have experienced a recent victimization may find some questions upsetting. If
your {child does/children do} become upset during the interview, the interviewer will offer to
take a break, or stop the interview and get you. Interviewers are all trained to identify signs of
distress and will have links and toll-free phone numbers to connect to counselor services if

[BJS letterhead]
Dear [TOWN NAME] Resident,
I am writing to ask you to be part of an important national study sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics,
part of the U.S. Department of Justice.
Your address has been scientifically selected for the National Survey of Crime and Safety. Your address cannot
be replaced. To make sure the results are statistically valid, only people at the selected addresses can take part
in the survey. Your responses will represent thousands of households like yours.
The information you provide will give us a better understanding of people’s experiences with crime and
attitudes about neighborhood safety in the country. Even if you have not experienced a crime, your participation
is important to help us understand these issues.
We have hired Westat, an independent research company, to conduct the NSCS. In the next week or two, a
Westat interviewer (with a Westat ID) will come to your home to ask you and others to complete an interview. A
couple months later, we will invite all household members age 12 and older to take another survey online.
{Those completing the online survey will receive a $20 Visa gift card.}
The information you provide will be used for statistical purposes only and may not be disclosed, or used, in
identifiable form for any other purpose as required by law (Title 34, U.S. Code, Section 10134). Your responses
will be combined with those of others to produce statistical summaries about crime and safety that
communities can use to help improve the effectiveness of law enforcement, help schools measure school
victimization and help employers understand more about violence in the workplace.
Answers to frequently asked questions are included on the back of this letter. The Bureau of Justice Statistics
(BJS) is authorized to conduct this survey under Title 34, U.S. Code, Section 10132. If you would like further
information or to set an appointment for an interview, you can contact NSCS Survey Support at 1-855-849-6119
You can also visit the BJS website at www.bjs.gov/content/nscs.cfm or email any questions or concerns to
[email protected].
Crime and safety affect all Americans. Thank you for your generous cooperation. The Bureau of Justice Statistics
appreciates your help in this very important survey.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey H. Anderson
Director
Bureau of Justice Statistics
U.S. Department of Justice
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the National Survey of Crime and Safety (NSCS)?
The NSCS asks about people’s experiences with crime in the last 12 months, regardless of whether these experiences
were reported to the police. It also asks people’s opinions about neighborhood safety and the local police. The
survey is asked of adults and youth ages 12 and older in selected U.S. households.
Why should I participate?
This survey will provide a better picture of crime and safety in communities such as yours, and improve the
government’s understanding of these issues in your area and across the country.
How was I selected for this survey?
Your address, not you personally, was selected for this study. Because this is a scientific study, your answers
represent not only you and your household, but also thousands of households like yours.
How will my information be protected?
BJS, its employees, and its data collection agents (Westat) will only use the information provided for statistical or
research purposes pursuant to 34 U.S.C. § 10134, and will not disclose respondent information in identifiable form to
anyone outside of the BJS project team without your consent. All personally identifiable information collected under
BJS’s authority is protected under the confidentiality provisions of 34 U.S.C. § 10231. Any person who violates these
provisions may be punished by a fine up to $10,000, in addition to any other penalties imposed by law. Further, per
the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015 (6 U.S.C. § 151), federal information systems are protected from
malicious activities through cybersecurity screening of transmitted data.
How long will the survey take?
It will take about five minutes to first gather information about your household. A couple months later we will invite
each adult and youth age 12 and older to take another survey online that takes between 20 to 40 minutes,
depending on each person’s answers. {Those completing the online survey will receive a $20 Visa gift card.}
Do I have to participate?
You do not have to participate and if you do participate, you can skip any question you do not want to answer. But
we do hope you choose to participate - Your household’s cooperation is important to ensure we capture an accurate
picture of crime and safety in the United States.
Why is this information being collected by Westat and not the Department of Justice?
Westat has been contracted by the Department of Justice to conduct this survey. Westat is a well-known
independent research firm located in Rockville, Maryland.
Who can I call with questions?
If you would like further information about the survey, you can contact NSCS Support at Westat at 1-855-384-2853 or
send an email to [email protected]. You can also visit the BJS website at www.bjs.gov/content/nscs.cfm. If you
have questions about your rights and welfare as a research participant, please call the Westat Human Subjects
Protections office at 1-888-920-7631. Please leave a message with your first name, the name of the research study
that you are calling about (National Survey of Crime and Safety), and a phone number beginning with the area code.
A Westat IRB representative will return your call as soon as possible.

DISPAY FOR CONDITION 3 ADULT INTERVIEW:
Purpose of the study
The NSCS Study measures victimization in the United States by asking questions of adults and youth
all over the country about whether they have been a victim of any crime in the past 12 months. The
study seeks to describe victimization in America, including descriptions of which types of people are
more likely to be victimized. You don’t have to be a victim to take part in the study. We need counts
of people who are victims and counts of people who are not victims to have a full understanding of
victimization in the United States. The study also includes opinion questions about community safety
or the local police.
Your participation
The survey should take about 20-40 minutes. Your participation is voluntary and you can stop and end
the survey at any time. You can skip any question you do not want to answer.
The survey asks questions about different areas of life, including attitudes about your local community
and/or local police, personal victimization experiences (if any), health status and disabilities, as well as
background questions, such as race and ethnicity.
You are encouraged to take this survey in a private setting so that others cannot see your answers.
Benefits and risks of participation

community safety or policing.
[INCENTIVE CONDITION: You will also receive $20 for completing this survey]
One possible risk is that some questions may upset you if you experienced a recent victimization.

We’ll combine your data with those of other people in the study. In addition, we’ll only put
information about groups of people in our reports. This means we can’t put information about
individuals in any report about the NSCS Study.
We’ll destroy all personal information that could identify you, like your name, address, and phone
number, after this phase of the study is over.
BJS will protect and maintain the confidentiality of personally identifiable information (PII) to the

What is the National
Survey of Crime
and Safety?
Figure 1.
2017 Personal Crimes
(Percentage of total victimizations)
80.6 Assault
The NSCS is a national survey that is collecting
information on crime and safety issues in
communities in the United States.
The primary goal of the NSCS is to provide
information about people’s perceptions of
community safety, their local police, and their
experiences with victimization and crime in
the past year. The NSCS is adapted from the
National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS),
administered by the U.S. Bureau of the Census for
the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). The NCVS
is the nation’s only source of information about
crime victimization not reported to the police.
Current NCVS content was developed in 1992;
our communities and the nature of crime have
changed in the years since then; the NSCS has
been designed to fill these gaps.
NCVS data, like those shown in Figure 1.,
are used to tracks trends in crime and safety
and develop policies.

What information is
collected on this survey?
• Types and numbers of crimes experienced
• Safety practices in communities
• Policing in neighborhoods
• Details of crimes, including:
• When and where crimes occur
• Economic loss
Why should
I participate?
Your cooperation is important to help ensure
that the federal government has accurate and
reliable information about crime and safety in
neighborhoods like yours. Your address has been
scientifically selected to represent your own
household and hundreds more like it. We think
you will find the survey interesting, and you will
be helping the U.S. Department of Justice to
understand crime and safety issues in different
communities around the U.S.
Who is being
interviewed?
The NSCS is a study of all persons age 12 or older.
The interviewer will ask to interview each adult
in your household, and will ask for permission to
interview any youth ages 12 to 17 who live there.
Do I have to participate?
Participation in this study is voluntary, but your
participation will help ensure that the results of
the study accurately represent your community.
You can skip any question that you don’t want
to answer and can stop the interview at any time.

Special Instructions: The household roster should display all persons on the roster, whether household
members or not.
Displaying nonmembers should help decrease the instances of FRs adding a duplicate
person to the roster because the person who was a nonmember last enumeration is
now back as a household member. If the FR cannot see that this person is already on
the roster (as a nonmember), then they will add the person as a duplicate. This goes
against survey procedures and lessens our ability to track victims across the time the
household is in sample.
Skip Instructions: Back to the item where the FR left off (on the main path).

Description: Hard edit check for when RESPLINE is a line number for a person who is not an eligible

MEMBER eq 2 or\
MEMBER eq 1 AND (AGE lt 17 or AGER le 3) or\
MEMBER eq 1 AND AGE eq 17 AND REL ne 11 or 12)\
Universe Description: FR has completed collecting/updating the demographic information for the household
and the HHR is not valid because they are not a household member or not eligible (i.e.
under 18 and do not meet the requirements).
Text:
You have not selected a valid household respondent. The current household
respondent is either not a member or does not meet the age requirements to be the
household respondent.
Click on the "Suppress" button andreturn to question ‘Pick HHResp’ and select
a valid Household Respondent
Check Instructions: These specs may need to be modified based on the functionality in the instrument.
When the FR completes updating the roster in the "BDemoDetailed" block and
RESPLINE is not valid, this hard edit check should appear. I think ideally, the "Goto"
button would take the respondent to the New_HHR tab to select a valid HHR.
However, if this is not possible then we'll need to modify the FR instructions to inform
them that they will need to manually click on the New_HHR tab to fix this error.
04.24.09 modified specs to have the FR manually goto New_HHR Tab.
Type: Hard
Skip Instructions: The FR will need to go back to ‘Pick HHResp’ in order to fix the problem.
If "Close" or "Goto" buttons are selected, return to ROSTERREVIEW

[BJS letterhead]
Dear [TOWN NAME] Resident,
I am writing to ask you to be part of an important national study sponsored by the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, part of the U.S. Department of Justice.
Your address has been scientifically selected for the National Survey of Crime and Safety. Your address
cannot be replaced. To make sure the results are statistically valid, only people at the selected
addresses can take part in the survey. Your responses will represent thousands of households like
yours.
The information you provide will give us a better understanding of people’s experiences with crime and
attitudes about neighborhood safety in the country. Even if you have not experienced a crime, your
participation is important to help us understand these issues.
We have hired Westat, an independent research company, to conduct the NSCS. In the next week or
two, a Westat interviewer (with a Westat ID) will come to your home to ask you and others to complete
an interview. All adults and youth ages 12 and older are eligible to participate.
The information you provide will be used for statistical purposes only and may not be disclosed, or used,
in identifiable form for any other purpose as required by law (Title 34, U.S. Code, Section 10134). Your
responses will be combined with those of others to produce statistical summaries about crime and
safety that communities can use to help improve the effectiveness of law enforcement, help schools
measure school victimization and help employers understand more about violence in the workplace.
Answers to frequently asked questions are included on the back of this letter. The Bureau of Justice
Statistics (BJS) is authorized to conduct this survey under Title 34, U.S. Code, Section 10132. If you would
like further information or to set an appointment for an interview, you can contact NSCS Survey Support
at 1-855-384-2853. You can also visit the BJS website at www.bjs.gov/content/nscs.cfm or email any
questions or concerns to [email protected].
Crime and safety affect all Americans. Thank you for your generous cooperation. The Bureau of Justice
Statistics appreciates your help in this very important survey.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey H. Anderson
Director
Bureau of Justice Statistics
U.S. Department of Justice
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the National Survey of Crime and Safety (NSCS)?
The NSCS asks about people’s experiences with crime in the last 12 months, regardless of whether these
experiences were reported to the police. The survey is asked of adults and youth ages 12 and older in
selected U.S. households.
Why should I participate?
This survey will provide a better picture of crime and safety in communities such as yours, and improve
the government’s understanding of these issues in your area and across the country.
How was I selected for this survey?
Your address, not you personally, was selected for this study. Because this is a scientific study, your
answers represent not only you and your household, but also thousands of households like yours.
How will my information be protected?
BJS, its employees, and its data collection agents (Westat) will only use the information provided for
statistical or research purposes pursuant to 34 U.S.C. § 10134, and will not disclose respondent
information in identifiable form to anyone outside of the BJS project team without your consent. All
personally identifiable information collected under BJS’s authority is protected under the confidentiality
provisions of 34 U.S.C. § 10231. Any person who violates these provisions may be punished by a fine up
to $10,000, in addition to any other penalties imposed by law. Further, per the Cybersecurity
Enhancement Act of 2015 (6 U.S.C. § 151), federal information systems are protected from malicious
activities through cybersecurity screening of transmitted data.
How long will the survey take?
It will take about five minutes to first gather information about your household. Then for each adult and
youth ages 12 and older, the actual survey takes between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on each person’s
answers to the questions.
Do I have to participate?
You do not have to participate and if you do participate, you can skip any question you do not want to
answer. But we do hope you choose to participate - Your household’s cooperation is important to
ensure we capture an accurate picture of crime and safety in the United States.
Why is this information being collected by Westat and not the Department of Justice?
Westat has been contracted by the Department of Justice to conduct this survey. Westat is a wellknown independent research firm located in Rockville, Maryland.
Who can I call with questions?
If you would like further information about the survey, you can contact NSCS Support at Westat at 1855-384-2853 or send an email to [email protected]. You can also visit the BJS website at
www.bjs.gov/content/nscs.cfm. If you have questions about your rights and welfare as a research
participant, please call the Westat Human Subjects Protections office at 1-888-920-7631. Please leave a
message with your first name, the name of the research study that you are calling about (National
Survey of Crime and Safety), and a phone number beginning with the area code. A Westat IRB
representative will return your call as soon as possible.

and Safety (NSCS)?
The NSCS asks about people’s experiences with
crime in the last 12 months, regardless of whether
these experiences were reported to the police.
The survey is asked of adults and youth age 12
or older in selected U.S. households.
Why should I participate?
This survey will provide a better picture of crime and
safety in communities such as yours, and improve
the government’s understanding of these issues
in your area and across the country.
How was I selected for this survey?
Your address, not you personally, was selected for
this study. Because this is a scientific study, your
answers represent not only you and your household,
but also hundreds of households like yours.
How will my information be protected?
This interview is confidential by law. The information
you provide will not be shared with any individual,
organization, or agency. Your name and contact
information will never appear in any report or be
associated with any findings. Your responses will be
combined with those of others to produce statistical
summaries about crime and safety. All interviewers
are required to sign statements of confidentiality
regarding all information provided by anyone in
the interview.
How long will the survey take?
It will take about five minutes to first gather
information about your household. Then for each
adult and youth age 12 or older, the actual survey
takes between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on
each person’s answers to the questions.
Do I have to participate?
You do not have to participate and if you do
participate, you can skip any question you do
not want to answer. But we do hope you choose
to participate - Your household’s cooperation is
important to ensure we capture an accurate picture
of crime and safety in the United States.
Why is this information being collected
by Westat and not the Department
of Justice?
Westat has been contracted by the Department
of Justice to conduct this survey. Westat is a well
known independent research firm located in
Rockville, Maryland.

NATIONAL SURVEY OF CRIME AND SAFETY (NSCS)
Parent Permission for Youth Participation
Introduction
The National Survey of Crime and Safety is sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) at
the Department of Justice (DOJ). Westat, an independent research firm, is conducting the study.
Purpose of the study
The NSCS Study asks questions of adults and youth all over the country about whether they
experienced crime in the past 12 months. You don’t have to be a victim of a crime to take part in
the study. We need counts of people who are victims and counts of people who are not victims to
have a full understanding of crime in the United States.
It will take between 20 minutes and 40 minutes, depending on your experiences.
Your child’s participation
We would like your permission to ask your child to participate in this one-time interview. If you
(and your child) agree, the Westat researcher will ask your child questions about different areas of
life, including personal victimization experiences (if any), health status and disabilities, as well
as background questions, such as race and ethnicity. The researcher may also ask for his or her
attitudes about your local community and/or local police. If there is a question that your child
does not want to answer or talk about, he/she can skip it.
The survey is voluntary. It is entirely up to you whether we ask your child to participate, and then
it is up to your child – your child does not have to do this and he/she can stop answering questions
at any point. Your child’s participation in this research project is voluntary.
The interview will be conducted in private and will generally take between 20 minutes and 40
minutes, depending on your child’s experiences. You will not see your child’s answers and you will
be asked to leave the room while the interview takes place (unless your child tells the interviewer
they want you to stay).
Benefits and risks of participation
There are no direct benefits to your child for participating in this study, but information from the
study will help give the Bureau of Justice Statistics a better understanding of victimization in
this country. The study may also benefit your community and the Nation by improving programs that
focus on community safety or policing.
If you or your child feels uncomfortable about any of the questions, it’s OK to skip those
questions. One possible risk is that some questions may upset your child, if he or she experienced a
recent victimization. If your child does become upset during the interview, the interviewer will
offer to take a break, or stop the interview and get you. Interviewers are all trained to identify
signs of distress and will have links and toll-free phone numbers to connect to counselor services
if needed.
There is also a possible risk that survey answers could be revealed, but we take several steps to
protect your privacy and your child’s privacy, and to prevent this from happening.
Protection of personal information
1
The study has several safeguards in place to protect the identities of all participants, including
yours and your child’s. The information you provide will not be shared with your child; and
information your child provides will not be shared with you, the child’s school, or the authorities.
The researchers will take additional steps to protect your identity and your child’s identity.
We’ll treat all of the information in this study as private. The information will be used only
for research purposes.
We’ll label your child’s interview answers with a code number only, not his or her name.
We’ll store all personal information in a protected computer file separate from the interview
data. We’ll keep the key to the code in a password-protected database.
We’ll combine your child’s data with those of other people in the study. In addition, we’ll
only put information about groups of people in our reports. This means we can’t put
information about individuals in any report about the NSCS Study.
We’ll destroy all personal information that could identify you and your child, like your name,
address, and phone number, after this phase of the study is over.
We would like to record the interview. Sometimes it is helpful to review a portion of a recording to
better understand how the interview went. If the recording is reviewed later, it will only be by a
few Westat staff and possibly the client (BJS). We may use answers from the recordings in our
research reports but we never include names in the reports. If you choose not to allow your child’s
interview to be recorded, that’s okay.
To help keep everything private:
Your child’s name will not be recorded on the interview notes or reported in any reports.
Everything that your child says will be confidential – that is, no one outside the research
team will know what your child told us.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is authorized to conduct this data collection under 34
U.S.C. § 10132. BJS will protect and maintain the confidentiality of personally identifiable
information (PII) to the fullest extent under federal law. BJS, its employees, and its contractors
(Westat staff) will only use the information provided for statistical or research purposes pursuant
to 34 U.S.C. § 10134. All PII collected under BJS’s authority is protected under the confidentiality
provisions of 34 U.S.C. § 10231. Any person who violates these provisions may be punished by a fine
up to $10,000, in addition to any other penalties imposed by law. Further, per the Cybersecurity
Enhancement Act of 2015 (6 U.S.C. § 151), federal information systems are protected from malicious
activities through cybersecurity screening of transmitted data. Since the survey is protected under
34 U.S.C. § 10134 and 10231 even if we learn that you or someone else is harming you, your child, or
others around you, we are legally not allowed to report this to the police or anyone else. However,
you and your child are free to tell anyone about your experiences. We will be giving everyone who
completes the survey a link to a website that has contact information for people who can help.
Questions
You can ask the interviewer any questions you have about this study.
If you have any other questions about the study, call Westat’s toll-free number, 1-855-849-6119,
weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. and weekends between 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
You can also send an email to Westat at [email protected].
If you have any questions about your rights as a NSCS Study participant, call Westat’s Human
Subjects Protections office at 1-888-920-7631. Please leave a message with your first name, the
name of the research study that you are calling about (National Survey of Crime and Safety), and a
phone number beginning with the area code. A Westat IRB representative will return your call as soon
as possible.
Consent request
Please tell the interviewer if you give permission to ask your child if he/she wants to participate
in the interview. Your child must also agree to participate in the interview. Your child will be
2
told that he or she agrees to take part in the study, but has the right to refuse individual
questions, to stop the interview at any time, or refuse to participate in this or any future
interviews.
I have read the information about this study and have been given the chance to discuss it and to ask
questions. I understand that my child must also agree to participate.
I give permission for you to ask my child to participate in the interview
I give permission for my child’s interview to be recorded for quality control purposes

is only asked when the respondent reports being attacked, a victim of an attempted
attack, a threat, of victim of sexual contact with or without force. HAPPEN is asked
when only other household members were reported present. We have also added three
new questions to comply with the OMB guidelines for asking ethnicity and race. These
questions will only be asked during interview number 7 when the respondent is present
and reports being the victim of a violent crime. These 3 new questions are currently
being translated into Spanish.

The text should wrap from row to row, so the interviewer will not have to press the
"enter" key to move to the next row (like it is currently coded in the mini-module).
This ITEM is an Editing/Coding instrument item.
Once the incident roster has completed cycling all the incidents for a person, determine
if any more incidents should be appended to the roster from
INCIDENTNUMBEROFTIMES, that is, if INCIDENTNUMBEROFTIMES is greater
than what was reported in the screener (as captured in SQTHEFT_CNT,
SQBREAKIN_CNT, SQMVTHEFT_CNT, etc).
If so then perform a roster reopen/append until the the difference between
INCIDENTNUMBEROFTIMES and the screener count have been added to the roster
(or until the maximum number of incidents has been reached).
Once the append is done, go to INCIDENTINTRO to cycle through the incident roster
again.
This process will be repeated until INCIDENTNUMBEROFTIMES is less than or equal
to NUMBRINC (the screener count).

BNCVS2.RaceOffRespondentDebrief
Description: *** These questions were never implemented as it was determined the questions have
to be implemented per OMB and had been pseudo cognitively tested since the change
in race categories had been tested prior to implementing them in the Demographics
section in 2003 (?) ***\
\
Questions to be added beginning April 2011 and asked of respondents that are asked
the revised race of offender questions. We intend to ask the respondent debriefing
questions ONCE per respondent to minimize respondent burden. Also to avoid
confusion in circumstances where multiple violent crimes are reported by the same
respondent, we recommend only asking the respondent debriefing questions for the
FIRST violent crime captured. With respect to when to ask the respondent and
interviewer debriefing, we think it makes the most sense to ask the respondent and
interviewer debriefing questions immediately after the FIRST violent crime is collected
and before proceeding to any additional crime incident reports or other questions that
need to be collected/asked of that particular respondent. There is a concern about the
impact of asking the debriefing questions before completing all the incident reports.
This issue is still being discussed with the sponsor.\
\
The universe for these two blocks have been changed from a violent crime to a crime
where the respondent knew something about one or more of the offenders.

Ask the interviewer debriefing questions once per respondent when the respondent
reported a violent crime and it is interview number 7. Create and initialize the flag,
interviewerdebrief_doneflg to 0. Once the interviewer has completed the respondent
debriefing questions set the interviewerdebrief_doneflg = 1. Include this flag in the
