Abstract:
The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) collects analyzes publishes, and disseminates statistics on the amount and type of crime committed against households and individuals in the U.S. The NCVS provides national data on personal and household victimization, both reported and not reported to police. The data collection allows the BJS to fulfill its mission of collecting, analyzing, publishing, and disseminating information on victims of crime. Together with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI), statistics on crimes reported to law enforcement agencies, the NCVS provides an understanding of the nature of and changes in the nation's crime problems. The core NCVS includes the administration of the NCVS-1 (screener) and NCVS-2 (crime incident report) instruments to a nationally representative sample of about 144,000 persons age 12 or older living in households in the United States, including samples of persons representative of the 22 largest states in the US. BJS is submitting a non-substantive modification to the NCVS to add five socio-demographic questions to the crime screener instrument (NCVS-1) regarding respondent’s veteran status, citizenship, disability status, sexual orientation, and gender identity; and expand the household income response categories.

Short Statement:
The estimated total annual hours for 2016 through 2018 (106,399) is greater than the 68,905 requested in 2012 because of the boost to the NCVS sample in the 22 largest states. The boost will allow BJS to generate three-year rolling average estimates of victimization in these 22 states with adequate precision (average RSE 10%), in addition to the regular national level estimates. The degree to which the sample will be boosted in each of the 22-states is dependent on the current level of sample in that state, as well as how representative the sample is of the state population. OMB previously approved an increase in burden due to a pilot test of the sample boost in 11 states on September 28, 2010, raising the NCVS burden hours to 80,450 (ICR Reference Number 201305-1121-002).
