International Crime Victims Survey

The International Crime Victims Survey (ICVS) is a global research project that collects data on people’s experiences with crime and victimization in various countries. Conducted periodically, it surveys respondents about crimes they have encountered, such as theft or violence, and their feelings of safety. By analyzing this information, researchers can understand crime trends, compare victimization rates across nations, and identify social and economic factors influencing crime. The ICVS helps governments and organizations develop effective policies to improve public safety and support crime victims globally.
