2020 PPCS QUESTIONNAIRE

  1. CONTACT SCREEN QUESTIONS



NOTE: The 2020 PPCS includes a verification section (V_CORRECT through V_ELSE_SP) directly after the contact screen questions (RPT_CRIME through APPROACHED_BY_POL_SP) where respondents can update their answers to the contact screen questions. Each contact screen question below has two different variable names listed, with one beginning with “V_”. A respondent’s original answers to the contact screen questions are stored in the variables RPT_CRIME through APPROACHED_BY_POL_SP), and the responses after verification are stored in V_RPT_CRIME through V_ APPROACHED_BY_POL_SP. These two sets of variables will have the same answers if the respondent did not make any updates in the verification section. However, the “V_” variables will reflect the final answers to the contact screen questions based on any changes made in the verification section, and these variables determine the detailed questions the respondent answers later in the PPCS interview. Note that the purple “V_” variables after the contact screen variables are not actual questions asked to the respondent, but the variable in which the answer is stored.


INTRO_1 Now, I would like to ask some questions about any contacts you may have had with the police. We estimate these questions will take between 4 to 8 minutes depending on your circumstances. The U.S. Census Bureau is required by law to keep your information confidential.


INTRO_2 This next set of questions focuses on any times you may have contacted the police or the police initiated contact with you. The term “police” refers to any law enforcement officer.


Most questions that I will be asking refer to a specific time period. During this interview, the time period is for the past 12 months, that is, from {date fill} to today.
