*Title*:?"Constructing and Disseminating Small Area Estimates from the National Crime Victimization Survey, 2007-2018 [ [link removed] ]
"*Authors*: Westat, Inc.: Robert E. Fay.
*Publication date*: April 2021
*Award number*: 2017-BJ-CX-K030

This report was produced by Westat, Inc., for BJS under award number 2017-BJ-CX-K030. It builds upon a previously released report that combined data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) with small area estimation methods and data from the FBI?s Uniform Crime Reports to produce estimates for states for 1999?2013 and for some large counties and substate areas for 1998?2012. This report features state-level estimates for an expanded set of characteristics that have been produced as 3-year averages for 2007?2018. The report includes displays of the state estimates accompanied by a more simplified description for the interested public. The majority of the report focuses on the software and its underlying methods.

This report refers to software developed by the author to carry out the analysis described for NCVS data. Persons interested in accessing the software to analyze NCVS data for their own research purposes should contact the U.S. Bureau of the Census regarding their Federal Statistical Research Data Center program at www.census.gov/about/adrm/fsrdc.html [ [link removed] ]. As of the release of this report, access to NCVS data is limited to years prior to 2016. Persons interested in copies of the software for adapting to their own small area estimation projects not involving NCVS data should send a request to the Bureau of Justice Statistics at [email protected].

*Title*: "Small Area Estimation for the National Crime Victimization Survey: A Guide for Data Processing and Estimation Procedures [ [link removed] ]
"*Authors*: RTI International: Dan Liao, Stephanie Zimmer, and Marcus Berzofsky.
*Publication date*: April 2021
*Award number*: 2017-MU-MU-K048

This report was produced by RTI International for BJS under award number 2017-MU-MU-K048. This report offers programmers and statisticians guidance on how to use small area estimation (SAE) techniques to develop crime estimates with data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) and the Summary Reporting System (SRS) of the FBI?s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. It also details how to determine the final predictors for deriving the variance-covariance matrix in SAE models and how to use the SAE functions in R to compute final subnational estimates for a set of outcomes. Estimates cover victimization and prevalence rates of common crime types. This is a companion report to "Constructing and Disseminating Small Area Estimates from the National Crime Victimization Survey, 2007?2018 [ [link removed] ]".
