*By ethnicity of household head
Note: Violent crimes include: rape/sexual assault,
robbery, aggravated and simple assault. Property crimes include:
household burglary, theft, and motor vehicle theft.
Two year average percentages are presented to minimize year to year
fluctuations that may be present because of declining sample sizes. For additional information about the methods used, see Criminal Victimization, 2007.
*Victimization rate trends excludes 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.
Source: The National Crime Victimization
Survey (NCVS) Ongoing since 1972, this survey of households interviews about 147,300 persons age 12 and older in 82,900 households each year about their victimizations from crime. |
