Crime Victimization Survey

A Crime Victimization Survey is a research tool used to measure how often people are victims of crimes, like theft or assault, that may not be reported to authorities. It involves interviewing a representative sample of individuals to gather data on their experiences. This survey helps researchers and policymakers understand the true extent of crime, including unreported incidents, providing a more accurate picture of community safety and guiding efforts to improve crime prevention and victim support.
