National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) - Victim Segment

This segment of NIBRS data provides information on crime victims, including their age, race, sex, ethnicity, residency status within the jurisdiction, and victim type (e.g., individual, police officer, business, government). This data records physical injuries sustained, with up to five of seven possible injury types. A key variable is the victim-offender relationship, which is available for up to 10 offenders and categorizes relationships into 27 types (e.g., spouse, child, employee, stranger). This data is limited to individual and police officer victims, though non-human victims could have relevant offender relationships. Additionally, for aggravated assaults and homicides, a “circumstance” variable indicates the motive (e.g., argument, domestic violence, hunting accident). A victim sequence number distinguishes multiple victims within a single incident.

本部分国家事件型报告系统（National Incident-Based Reporting System，简称NIBRS）数据集收录了犯罪被害人的相关信息，包括其年龄、种族、性别、族裔、辖区内居住身份，以及被害人类型（victim type），例如个人、警务人员、企业、政府机构。该数据集记录了被害人所受的身体伤害，可覆盖7种预设伤害类型中的最多5类。核心变量为被害人-加害人关系（victim-offender relationship），该变量可对应至多10名加害人，并将二者的关系划分为27种类型，例如配偶、子女、雇员、陌生人。本数据集仅涵盖个人及警务人员被害人，但非人被害人亦可关联对应的加害人关系。此外，针对加重伤害案与凶杀案，设有情境变量（circumstance variable）以标注作案动机，例如口角纠纷、家庭暴力、狩猎意外。被害人序列编号（victim sequence number）可用于区分同一事件中的多名被害人。
