National Crime Surveys: National Sample, 1986-1992 [Near-Term Data]

The objective of the National Crime Surveys is to provide
data on the level of crime victimization in the United States and to
collect information on the characteristics of crime incidents and
victims. Each respondent was asked a series of screen questions to
determine if he or she was victimized during the six-month period
preceding the first day of the month of the interview. Screen
questions cover the following types of crimes, including attempts:
rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle
theft. The data include type of crime, description of the offender,
severity of the crime, injuries or losses, and demographic information
on household members such as age, sex, race, education, employment,
median family income, marital status, and military history.
