New report presents victimization rates for the 22 most populous U.S. states [ [link removed] ]

BJS has released "Criminal Victimization in the 22 Largest U.S. States, 2020–2022, "which examines victimization rates across the 22 most populous U.S. states and how reported and unreported crime levels vary across these states and over time". "The report analyzes selected state-level estimates of violent and property victimization for the 3-year aggregate periods of 2017–19 and 2020–22 in the 22 largest U.S. states.  

Findings are based on data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) [ [link removed] ], the nation’s primary source of data on criminal victimization. State-level data, available following an increase in the NCVS sample that began in 2016, can provide more detailed information than the national NCVS estimates and other NCVS estimates historically produced for BJS reports, such as regional estimates.
