A new BJS report, Criminal Victimization, 2022, provides statistics on nonfatal violent crimes (rape or sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault) and property crimes (burglary or trespassing, motor vehicle theft, and other types of household theft). It also describes the characteristics of crimes and victims.
This annual bulletin began in 1973, and it presents trends and patterns of criminal victimizations reported and not reported to police from BJS?s National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).?This year marks the 50th year of data collection through the NCVS. Join BJS in the anniversary celebration event on September 27, 2023. Register now to attend virtually via livestream.
Criminal Victimization, 2022 (NCJ 307089) was written by BJS Statisticians Alexandra Thompson and Susannah N. Tapp, PhD. The report, related documents, and additional information about BJS?s statistical publications and programs are available on the BJS website at bjs.ojp.gov.
Concurrent with the release of the Criminal Victimization, 2022 bulletin, BJS has updated estimates of criminal victimization with 2022 data in the NCVS Dashboard (N-DASH), an interactive, online data visualization tool. This dynamic visualization tool allows users to examine NCVS data on both personal and property victimization, by select victim, household, and incident characteristics. It provides direct and user-friendly access to the nation?s primary source of data on criminal victimization, beginning with 1993. The quick graphics and custom graphics pages allow you to view or create and download charts and tables.
BJS has updated the NCVS Application Programming Interface (API) with 2022 data. The API provides access to select NCVS datasets and includes commonly used variables for analysis. The API also provides researchers and developers with endpoints in multiple formats along with related codebooks, methodology, and metadata.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating reliable statistics on crime and criminal justice in the United States.
