National Crime Victimization Survey, Concatenated File, [United States], 1992-2016

In October 2019, NACJD released a revised set of 1992-2016 NCVS Public-Use Files. The National Crime Victimization Survey, Concatenated File, [United States], 1992-2016: Revised Version (ICPSR 37241) data collection contains the official 1992-2016 NCVS data and replaces the previously published National Crime Victimization Survey, Concatenated File, [United States], 1992-2016 (ICPSR 36834) Public-Use Files. The initial files remain available for research purposes. The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), previously called the National Crime Survey (NCS), has been collecting data on personal and household victimization through an ongoing survey of a nationally-representative sample of residential addresses since 1973. The NCVS was designed with four primary objectives: (1) to develop detailed information about the victims and consequences of crime, (2) to estimate the number and types of crimes not reported to the police, (3) to provide uniform measures of selected types of crimes, and (4) to permit comparisons over time and types of areas. Beginning in 1992, the survey categorizes crimes as "personal" or "property." Personal crimes include rape and sexual assault, robbery, aggravated and simple assault, and purse-snatching/pocket-picking, while property crimes include burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, and vandalism. Each respondent is asked a series of screen questions designed to determine whether she or he was victimized during the six-month period preceding the first day of the month of the interview. A "household respondent" is also asked to report on crimes against the household as a whole (e.g., burglary, motor vehicle theft). The data include type of crime, month, time, and location of the crime, relationship between victim and offender, characteristics of the offender, self-protective actions taken by the victim during the incident and results of those actions, consequences of the victimization, type of property lost, whether the crime was reported to police and reasons for reporting or not reporting, and offender use of weapons, drugs, and alcohol. Basic demographic information such as age, race, gender, and income is also collected, to enable analysis of crime by various subpopulations. This dataset represents the concatenated version of the NCVS on a collection year basis for 1992-2016. A collection year contains records from interviews conducted in the 12 months of the given year. Under the collection year format, victimizations are counted in the year the interview is conducted, regardless of the year when the crime incident occurred. For additional information on the dataset, please see the documentation for the data from the most current year of the NCVS, ICPSR Study 36828.

于2019年10月，国家犯罪受害者调查局（NACJD）发布了1992-2016年国家犯罪受害者调查（NCVS）公共使用文件的修订版。该国家犯罪受害者调查（NCVS）连续文件，[美国]，1992-2016年：修订版（ICPSR 37241）数据集包含官方的1992-2016年NCVS数据，并取代了先前发布的《国家犯罪受害者调查连续文件，[美国]，1992-2016年》（ICPSR 36834）公共使用文件。最初的文件仍可供研究使用。国家犯罪受害者调查（NCVS），之前称为国家犯罪调查（NCS），自1973年起通过对全国代表性样本住宅地址的持续调查，收集个人和家庭受害者调查数据。NCVS的设计旨在实现四个主要目标：（1）详尽地了解犯罪受害者和犯罪后果，（2）估计未向警方报告的犯罪数量和类型，（3）提供选定类型犯罪的统一衡量标准，以及（4）允许对时间和不同类型区域进行比较。自1992年起，调查将犯罪分为“个人”或“财产”两类。个人犯罪包括强奸和性攻击、抢劫、严重和简单攻击，以及钱包扒窃/口袋扒窃，而财产犯罪包括入室盗窃、盗窃、机动车盗窃和破坏公物。每位受访者都被问及一系列筛选问题，以确定她在或他在调查月份的前六个月内是否成为受害者。此外，家庭受访者还需报告针对整个家庭的犯罪（例如，入室盗窃、机动车盗窃）。数据包括犯罪类型、月份、时间、犯罪地点、受害者与犯罪者之间的关系、犯罪者特征、受害者在事件中采取的自我保护措施及其结果、受害者受害后果、丢失财产类型、犯罪是否报告给警方以及报告或不报告的原因，以及犯罪者使用武器、毒品和酒精的情况。同时收集基本人口统计信息，如年龄、种族、性别和收入，以便对犯罪进行不同子群体的分析。该数据集代表了1992-2016年基于收集年份的NCVS连续版本。一个收集年份包含在该年12个月内进行的访谈记录。在收集年份格式下，受害事件被计在访谈进行的年份，而不论犯罪事件发生的年份。有关数据集的更多信息，请参阅最新年份的NCVS数据文档，ICPSR研究36828。
