From ResourceShelf's Docuticker:
Criminal Victimization, 2005
Source: Bureau of Justice Statistics (USDoJ)
“Presents estimates of national levels and rates of personal and
property victimization for the year 2005. Rates and levels are provided
for personal and property victimization by victim characteristics, type
of crime, victim-offender relationship, use of weapons, and reporting
to police. Annual average victimization rates for 2004-05 are compared
with those of the previous two years, 2002-03. A section is devoted to
trends in victimization from 1993 to 2005. Estimates are from data
collected using the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), an
ongoing survey of households that interviews about 134,000 persons in
77,200 households twice annually. Violent crimes included in the report
are rape/sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault and simple assault
(from the NCVS), and homicide (from the FBI’s UCR program). Property
crimes examined are burglary, motor vehicle theft, and property theft.”
