Note: 1973-91 data adjusted to make data comparable to data after the redesign. Estimates for 1993 and beyond are based on collection year while earlier estimates are based on data year. Estimates for 1996 and beyond
are based on collection year while earlier estimates are based on data
year. For additional information about the methods used, see Criminal Victimization, 2008.
*Victimization rate trends exclude NCVS estimates for 2006 because
of methodological inconsistencies between the data for that year and
the data for other years. Changes to the NCVS and their impact upon
the survey's estimates in 2006 are discussed in the
Criminal Victimization, 2006 Technical Notes. |
