US. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Statistics September 2020, NO 255113 Criminal Victimization, 2019 Rachel H. Morgan, Ph.D., and Jennifer L. Truman, Ph.D., BIS Statisticians A fter rising from 1.1 million in 2015 to 1.4 million in 2018, the number of persons who were victims of violent crime excluding simple assault dropped to 1.2 million in 2019. This is the first statistically significant decrease in the number of persons who were victims of violent crime excluding simple assault since 2015, and it corresponds with a decline in the number of victims of rape or sexual assault from 2018 to 2019. Based on the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), the nation's largest crime survey, the portion of U.S. residents age 12 or older who were victims of one or more violent crimes excluding simple assault declined from 0.50% (about 1 in 200 persons) in 2018 to 0.44% (about 1 in 230 persons) in 2019, a 12% decrease (figure 1).

The percentage of households that experienced burglary (0.82%), which is unlawful or forcible entry or attempted entry of places in connection with a completed or attempted theft, was the lowest since the NCVS was redesigned in 1993. After peaking in 1994 (2.89%), this type of crime has generally declined over time, hitting a new low in 2019 (figure 2).1 The burglary prevalence rate fell 23% from 2018 to 2019. The NCVS is a self-reported survey administered annually from January 1 to December 31. Annual NCVS estimates are based on the number and characteristics of crimes respondents experienced during the prior 6 months, not including the month in which they were interviewed. Therefore, the 2019 survey covers crimes experienced from July 1, 2018 to November 30, 2019, and March 15, 2019 is the middle of the reference period. Crimes are classified by the year of the survey and not by the year of the crime. NCVS data can be used to produce— ■ Prevalence estimates: The number or percentage of unique persons who were crime victims, or of unique households that experienced crime. ■ Victimization estimates: The total number of times that people or households were victimized by crime. For personal crimes, the number of victimizations is the number of victims of that crime. Each crime against a household is counted as having a single victim—the affected household. ■ Incident estimates: The number of specific criminal acts involving one or more victims.

Victimization estimates Victimizations reflect the total number of times that people or households were victimized by crime. From 1993 to 2019, the rate of violent victimization excluding simple assault declined 75%, from 29.1 to 7.3 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older (figure 3).2 (Simple assault is the category of violent victimization captured by the NCVS that is least likely to be prosecuted as a felony.) Similarly, the rate of violent victimization reported to police, excluding simple assault, declined 77% during this period, from 14.9 to 14 victimizations reported to police per 1,000 persons age 12 or older. The rate of violent victimization excluding simple assault decreased from 2018 to 2019 After increasing 27% from 2015 to 2018 (from 6.8 to 8.6 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older), the rate of violent victimization excluding simple assault declined 15% in 2019 (to 7.3 per 1,000) (table 1). This decrease was driven partly by a decline in rape or sexual assault victimizations, which declined from 2.7 per 1,000 persons age 12 or older in 2018 to 1.7 per 1,000 in 2019. 2Violent crime excluding simple assault was called serious violent crime in NCVS reports prior to Criminal Victimization, 2078.

From 2018 to 2019, there was no statistically significant change in the rate of total violent victimization, which includes simple assault. Based on the 2019 survey, about 65% of total violent victimizations were simple assault, with the remaining 35% being rape or sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated assault. There were no statistically significant changes in the rates of robbery, aggravated assault, or simple assault from 2018 to 2019. Rates of property victimization decreased from 2018 to 2019 The 2019 survey found that an estimated 12.8 million U.S. households experienced one or more property victimizations, which include burglaries, residential trespassing, motor-vehicle thefts, and other thefts (table 2).

National Crime Victimization Survey, 2015-2019. property victimizations, by type of crime, 2015-2019 NCVS methods of variance estimation For surveys with complex sample designs, such as the NCVS, several methods can be used to estimate the magnitude of sampling error associated with an estimate. In previous reports, BJS has used both generalized variance function (GVF) parameters and direct-variance estimation for generating standard errors and testing statistically significant differences between NCVS estimates. Compared to GVFs, direct-variance estimation is generally considered more accurate in approximating the true variance. This year's bulletin presents tables 1 and 2 using the Balanced Repeated Replication (BRR) method, a form of direct-variance estimation, and continues to present other victimization and incidence estimates using GVFs (except for totals in tables 4, 9,24, and 25 that are also presented in tables 1 and 2, and statistics in table 12 that are based on the new classification of urban, suburban, and rural areas).The Taylor Series Linearization (TSL) method, another form of direct-variance estimation, continues to be used to generate standard errors for prevalence estimates. BJS has an active research program on direct- variance estimation that seeks to improve the quality and accuracy of NCVS estimates. See Methodology for more details.

rate declined 6% from 2018 (108.2 per 1,000) to 2019 (101.4 per 1,000). This decline was partly due to a 22% decrease in burglary (15.0 to 11.7 burglaries per 1,000 households). As with the prevalence of burglary, this was the lowest observed rate of burglary victimization since the NCVS was redesigned in 1993. There were nearly 1.2 million domestic-violence victimizations The rate of domestic violence, which includes a subset of violent victimizations that were committed by intimate partners or family members, was 4.2 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older, based on the 2019 survey (table 3).

The Uniform Crime Reporting program and the National Crime Victimization Survey together provide a complementary picture of crime in the U.S. The Bureau of Justice Statistics' National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) measures crime reported and not reported to police. The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program, administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), measures only crime recorded by police. In 2018, the UCR reported that 3.7 total violent crimes (including murder and non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault) per 1,000 residents and 22.0 property crimes (including burglary and motor-vehicle theft) per 1,000 residents were known to law enforcement (table 5).The 2018 NCVS estimated that 4.3 violent crimes excluding simple assault per 1,000 persons age 12 or older, and 36.9 property crimes per 1,000 households, were reported to law enforcement. The 2019 NCVS estimated that 3.4 violent crimes excluding simple assault per 1,000 persons age 12 or older, and 33.0 property crimes per 1,000 households, were reported to law enforcement.; Because the NCVS and the UCR measure an overlapping, but not identical, set of offenses and use different approaches in measuring them, complete congruity should not be expected between estimates from these two sources. Restricting the NCVS to violent crime reported to police, and excluding simple assault, keeps the measures as similar as possible. However, significant methodological and definitional differences remain between how these violent crimes are measured in the NCVS and the UCR: ■ The UCR includes murder, non-negligent manslaughter, and commercial crimes (including burglary of commercial establishments), while the NCVS excludes those crime types. • The UCR excludes sexual assault, which the NCVS includes.4 • The UCR property-crime rates are per person, while the NCVS's are per household. (There were 2.2 persons age 12 or older per household in 2019.) Moreover, because the number of households may not grow at the same rate each year as the total population, trend data for rates of property crimes measured by the two programs may not be entirely comparable. 320l9 UCR data had not been publicly released at the time this report was published. aSexual assault includes a range of victimizations and is separate from rape or attempted rape. Sexual assault includes attacks or threatened attacks involving unwanted sexual contact between victim and offender. with or without force: grabbing or fondling: and verbal threats.

See Methodology for details on the measurement of rape or sexual assault in the NCVS. cThe UCR defines burglary as forcible entry. unlawful entry where no force is used. or attempted forcibleentry of a structure to commit a felony or theft. The NCVS defines burglary as the unlawful or forcible entry or attempted entry of places. including a permanent residence. other residence (e.g.. a hotel room or vacation residence), or other structure (e.g.. a garage or shed). where there was a completed or attempted theft.

The Uniform Crime Reporting program and the National Crime Victimization Survey together provide a complementary picture of crime in the U.S. (continued) ■ NCVS estimates are based on interviews with a nationally representative sample of persons in U.S. households. UCR estimates are based on counts of crimes recorded by law enforcement agencies and are weighted to compensate for incomplete reporting. ■ The NCVS does not measure crimes against persons who are homeless or who live in institutions (e.g., nursing homes and correctional institutions) or on military bases. Also, it does not measure crimes against children age 11 or younger. The UCR measures crimes against all US. residents, including crimes against children age 11 or younger. In some states mandatory reporting laws require that persons report certain crimes against youth. Due to these factors, the age distribution of crimes measured in the UCR differs from that of the NCVS. Taken together, these two measures of crime provide a more comprehensive picture of crime in the U.S. For additional information about the differences between the NCVS and UCR, see the Nation's Two Crime Measures (NO 246832, IDS, September 2014).

About 2 out of 5 violent victimizations were reported to police in 2019 The NCVS provides statistics on crimes reported and not reported to police and on the reasons why a crime was not reported to police. Victims may not report a crime for a variety of reasons, including fear of reprisal or getting the offender in trouble, believing that police would not or could not do anything to help, and believing the crime to be a personal issue or too trivial to report. Reporting to police may occur during or immediately following a criminal incident or at a later date. Police may be notified by the victim, a third party (including witnesses, other victims, household members, or other officials, such as school officials or workplace managers), or police may have been at the scene of the incident. Based on the 2019 survey, 41% of violent victimizations were reported to police, which was not a statistically significant change from 2018 (43%) (table 6). About a third (33%) of property victimizations were reported to police in 2019. There were some statistically significant changes from 2018 to 2019 by type of crime reported to police. The percentages of robbery (from 63% to 47%) and other theft (from 29% to 27%) reported to police declined during this period, while the percentage of intimate partner violence reported to police increased, from 45% to 58%.

The rate of unreported violent crime increased from 2015 to 2019 From 2018 to 2019, there were no statistically significant changes in the rate of reported or unreported violent crime (whether completed, attempted, or threatened) (table 7). While the rate of total violent crime (whether completed, attempted, or threatened) reported to police was 8.6 victimizations reported per 1,000 persons age 12 or older in both 2015 and 2019, the rate of unreported violent crime increased from 9.5 per 1,000 persons in 2015 to 12.1 per 1,000 in 2019. During this same period, the rate of both reported (from 2.2 per 1,000 to 3.1 per 1,000) and unreported (from 3.6 per 1,000 to 5.3 per 1,000) threatened crime increased. Assistance from a victim-service agency was received for 8% of violent victimizations Victim-service agencies are public or private organizations that provide help to victims. Based on the 2019 survey, assistance from a victim-service agency was received in 8% of violent victimizations (table 8). This was a decline from the percentage in 2018 (11%). The percentage of violent victimizations committed by an intimate partner for which victims received assistance from a victim-service agency increased from 18% in 2018 to 26% in 2019.

Rates of violent victimization decreased across some demographic characteristics from 2018 to 2019 From 2018 to 2019, the rate of violent victimization decreased from 24.7 victimizations per 1,000 white persons age 12 or older to 21.0 per 1,000 (table 9). Among Asians, the rate of violent victimization declined from 16.2 per 1,000 in 2018 to 7.5 per 1,000 in 2019. During this same period, the rate of violent victimization also decreased for persons ages 25 to 34 (from 31.8 to 25.0 victimizations per 1,000) and ages 35 to 49 from (25.2 to 19.5 per 1,000). Among divorced persons, the rate of violent victimization decreased from 39.1 per 1,000 in 2018 to 28.5 per 1,000 in 2019. Among females, the rate of violent victimization excluding simple assault decreased from 9.6 victimizations per 1,000 females age 12 or older in 2018 to 7.0 per 1,000 in 2019. From 2018 to 2019, the rate of violent crime excluding simple assault also decreased for persons ages 35 to 49 (from 9.8 to 6.7 victimizations per 1,000). For those living in households where income was less than $25,000 a year, the rate decreased from 19.0 to 14.2 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older. In the same period, the rate of violent crime excluding simple assault for those living in households earning more than $200,000 a year increased from 3.0 to 7.0 per 1,000.

The percentage of violent victimizations reported to police was higher for females than for males Based on the 2019 survey, the percentage of violent victimizations reported to police was higher for females (46%) than for males (36%) (table 10). This difference can largely be attributed to reporting of simple assaults, as the percentages of violent victimizations reported to police, exduding simple assault, were similar for females (47%) and males (46%). The percentage of violent victimizations reported to police was lower for white persons (37%) than for black persons (49%) and Hispanics (49%). Among different age groups, the percentage of violent victimizations reported to police, excluding simple assault, was lower for persons ages 18 to 24 (36%) than for persons ages 25 to 34 (60%), 50 to 64 (52%), or 65 or older (61%). The percentage of violent crime reported to police was lower for those who had never been married (35%) than for married (45%), divorced (46%), or separated (62%) persons. The percentage of violent victimizations reported to police, excluding simple assault, was lowest for those living in households earning more than $200,000 a year (13%).

Classification of urban, suburban, and rural areas in the National Crime Victimization Survey By Jeffrey H. Anderson, Ph.D., BJS Director This year, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) provides new classifications of urban, suburban, and rural areas for the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), with the goal of presenting a more accurate picture of where criminal victimizations occur. Historically, the NCVS has classified areas as urban, suburban, or rural based on the following definitions: ■ Urban: within a principal city of a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) ■ Suburban: within an MSA but not within a principal city of the MSA ■ Rural: outside of an MSA These definitions are straightforward, but they suffer from two main shortcomings: 1. Metropolitan statistical areas are based on entire counties, and counties almost always contain both rural and non-rural areas. Yet the NCVS's historical definitions classify each county as being either entirely rural (if not part of an MSA) or entirely non-rural (if part of an MSA). For example, California's San Bernardino County, which includes much of the Mojave Desert and covers more than twice as much land as the state of Maryland, is classified as containing no rural areas under the NCVS's historical definitions. This is because San Bernardino County is part of the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario MSA, and the NCVS's historical definitions do not classify any part of an MSA as being rural. On the other hand, Colorado's La Plata County, home of Durango, is classified under the historical definitions as being entirely rural, because it is not part of an MSA. This is true even though the Census Bureau says that, as of 2010, 40% of La Plata County's population lived in non-rural areas. Similarly, Casmalia, Calif. had a 2010 population of 138 people and is surrounded by undeveloped land. Because it is located within a county (Santa Barbara) that is designated as an MSA (the Santa Maria-Santa Barbara MSA), the NCVS's historical definitions classify Casmalia as suburban. Meanwhile, Bozeman, Mont., with a 2010 population of 37,280-270 times that of Casmalia—is classified by the NCVS's historical definitions as rural, because it is located in a county that is not part of an MSA. 2. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) designates principal cities (of which there are anywhere from 1 to nearly 20 in a given MSA) as being among "the more significant places in each Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Area...in terms of population and employment:The principal city designation is not necessarily indicative of urban status, nor is it intended to be. Yet the NCVS's historical definitions classify all principal cities of MSAs as urban, and all other places as not urban. As a result, Union City, NJ., located just across the Hudson River from Midtown Manhattan, is classified by the NCVS's historical definitions as suburban, due to its not being defined as a principal city. Union City had a 2010 population density of 51,918 people per square mile, more than three times the population density of San Francisco (17,180). Meanwhile, Rome, N.Y., which had a 2010 population density of 451 people per square mile—less than 1% that of Union Crty—is classified by the historical definitions as urban.The same is true for Yuma. Ariz., Hilton Head Island, S.C., and Foley, Ala. None of these had a population density in 2010 that was even 2% that of Union City, yet all are classified as urban under the NCVS's historical definitions, while Union City is classified as suburban. These are not isolated examples. Weighted housing-unit density (discussed more below) is essentially a measure of how closely people live to one another. Based on the 2010 Census of Population and Housing and 2013 OMB principal-city designations, 506 of the 674 principal cities in the United States (75%) had weighted housing-unit densities below that of the U.S. as a whole. In other words three-quarters of the places classified by the historical definitions as urban were less densely developed than the areas where most U.S. residents lived. A new definition: BJS's new NCVS definition of urban is based on the notion that urban places are those that are densely populated, are at the center of a major metropolitan area, or some combination of these. BJS's specific criteria is that a place is urban if it is— ■ The main city or Census-designated place (i.e., the first place listed) in a 500,000-person (Census-designated) "urbanized area," with a weighted housing-unit density within its city limits of at least 3,000 housing units per square mile. In other words, the primary city in a large "urbanized area" qualifies as urban if it meets the weighted-housing-unit-density threshold of 3,000 housing units per square mile. (The overall weighted housing-unit density for the U.S. is 2,396, based on the 2010 Census.) ■ A named city or Census-designated place in a 500,000-person (Census-designated) "urbanized area:' with a weighted housing-unit density of at least 4,000 housing units per square mile within its city limits. In Continued on next page CRIMINAL VICTIMIZATION, 2019 I SEPTEMBER 2020 12 3502-022 Page 12 of 53 EFIA_00001558 EFTA00156899
Classification of urban, suburban, and rural areas in the National Crime Victimization Survey (continued) other words, a city that is prominent enough to be included by the Census Bureau in the name of a large "urbanized area" (for example, Long Beach in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim urbanized area) qualifies as urban if it meets the weighted•housing-unit-density threshold of 4,000 housing units per square mile. ■ Any city or Census-designated place with a population of at least 50,000 and a weighted housing-unit density of at least 5,000 housing units per square mile. ■ Any city or Census-designated place with a population of at least 10,000 and a weighted housing-unit density of at least 10,000 housing units per square mile. The Census Bureau's "urbanized areas" referenced in this definition are similar to OMB's metropolitan areas, but they delineate areas of substantial population rather than utilizing entire counties. The weighted housing-unit density referenced in this definition is discussed in greater detail below. In addition to developing this definition of urban, BJS has adopted the Census Bureau's definition of rural to replace the historical NCVS definition of ruralThe Census Bureau provides specific, carefully drawn boundaries around "urban areas" (both larger "urbanized areas" and smaller "urban clusters") using set criteria, classifying everything outside of those boundaries as rural. BJS classifies areas that are neither urban nor rural as suburban. In comparison to places that are urban, suburban areas are characterized by lower density, a larger ratio of single-family homes to apartments, and layouts based principally on automobile transportation. Some suburban areas, those that might be thought of as "suburbia proper: do not have their own urban centers but are located near a separate urban city. Other suburban areas are cities or towns that have urban centers, but those centers have smaller populations than their surrounding suburban areas, so the bulk of the city's population lives in suburban areas. (Cities are the smallest geographical designations that can realistically be used in classifying areas as urban.) In short, suburban areas are a mix of "suburbia proper: towns, and some generally smaller cities that are more suburban than urban. BJS uses weighted housing-unit density in its new NCVS definitions because that measure provides a better indication of the degree of urban density than conventional population density does. Conventional population density is derived by dividing population by land area, and it measures how densely populated a given area of land is. As of the 2010 Census, the U.S. as a whole had a conventional population density of 87 people per square mile; however, most U.S. residents do not live in areas where there are only 87 people per square mile.The experience of most U.S. residents is more fully captured by weighted population density, which is essentially a measure of how densely populated an area is from the perspective of those who live in it. Weighted housing-unit density is similar to weighted population density, with the difference being that the latter focuses on population and the former on housing units. In comparing weighted housing-unit density to weighted population density, John R. Ottensmann writes. "Housing units better represent the physical pattern of urban development, as they are relatively fixed."5 Housing-unit density is the number of housing units per square mile in a given area. Weighted housing-unit density, under BJS's approach, is the weighted average of the housing densities for all census tracts in an area, with the tracts weighted by their number of housing units. For ease of explanation, imagine an area with only two census tracts. One tract has 2,000 housing units, covers 2 square miles, and thus has a housing-unit density of 1,000 housing units per square mile. The other tract has 6,000 housing units, covers 1 square mile, and thus has a housing-unit density of 6,000 housing units per square mile.The area's weighted housing-unit density is the weighted average of these two tract-level housing-unit densities, or (1,000"2,000+6,000"6,000)/8,000 = 4,750. Otherwise put, the weighted housing-unit density is based one-quarter on the first tract's density (because it contains one-quarter of the housing units) and three- quarters on the second tract's density. Weighted housing-unit density identifies urban places much more clearly than conventional population density does. Among places with populations of at least 10,000 people in 2010, Chicago rises from #71 in conventional population density to 416 in weighted housing-unit density, New Orleans from #2,212 to #190, and Urban Honolulu from #474 to #13. Meanwhile, Passaic, NJ. falls from #7 in conventional population density to #45 in weighted housing-unit density, while Santa Ma, Calif. falls from #67 to #237 (moving from 4 places above Chicago to 221 places below). Comparing the old and new definitions: Both the old and new NCVS definitions, as would be expected, classify New York's five boroughs as urban (New York City's weighted housing-unit density is a nation- leading 29,345 housing units per square mile), and they both add Jersey City, NJ.

Classification of urban, suburban, and rural areas in the National Crime Victimization Survey (continued) of 13,837 housing units per square mile), Newark, NJ. (8,788), and White Plains, N.Y. (5,671). The old definition also includes New Brunswick, NJ. (4,908) and Lakewood, NJ. (2,106). The new definition reclassifies Lakewood and New Brunswick as suburban (although just a 2% increase in New Brunswick's weighted housing-unit density would qualify it as urban) and adds the following places as urban: Guttenberg, NJ. (weighted housing-unit density of 29.171 housing units per square mile); Hoboken, NJ. FIGURE 4 Washington, D.C.

(7.424): and Paterson, NJ. (6,739). As the accompanying map of the Washington, D.C. area (figure 4) shows, both the old and new definitions include Washington, D.C. (weighted housing-unit density of 10,115 housing units per square mile), Arlington, Va. (10,485), Alexandria, Va. (7,714), and Silver Spring, Md. (6,135), as urban places.The new definitions do not classify anywhere else in the D.C. area as urban.The old definitions added as urban Bethesda, Md. (4,325), Gaithersburg, Md. (2,836), Reston, Va. (2.543), Rockville, Md. (2,534), and Frederick. Md. (2,235), all of which the new definitions classify as suburban. The new definitions more closely fit U.S. residents' own sense of where they live, as reflected in the American Housing Survey (AHS). For each of five metropolitan or micropolitan area designations, the following table and figure show how most AHS respondents in 2017 classified where they lived (and what percentage of respondents gave that classification), what percentage of people would be classified that same way by the new and old NCVS definitions, and the difference between the AHS result and the new and old NCVS results (table 11, figure 5). As table 11 shows, 58% of AHS respondents who lived in the biggest principal city of an MSA said that they lived in an urban place. Forty-three percent of them would be classified as living in an urban place by the new NCVS definitions, a difference of 15 percentage points (58% versus 43%) from the portion of AHS respondents who gave that answer.

Classification of urban, suburban, and rural areas in the National Crime Victimization Survey (continued) respondents would be classified as living in an urban place by the old NCVS definitions, a difference of 42 percentage points (58% vs. 10096) from the portion of AHS respondents who gave that answer. While AHS respondents' answers about where they live are not necessarily dispositive, the new NCVS definitions fare far better than the old ones versus the AHS in every category, by a margin of at least 21 percentage points per category and an average margin of 33 points per category. Under the new definitions. 12% of the population lives in urban areas, 69% in suburban areas, and 1996 in rural areas, compared to 33% in urban areas, 53% in suburban areas, and 14% in rural areas under the old definitions (table 31).0f the main cities in the 15 largest MSAs in the U.S., the new definitions classify 13 as urban.The two classified as suburban—Phoenix, Ariz. and Riverside, Calif.—had 2010 weighted housing-unit densities below that of the U.S. as a whole. According to the historical NCVS definitions, by far the most urban region in the country is the West, followed by the South (using the Census Bureau's regional classifications). Under the new definitions, the Northeast is by far the most urban region, followed in order by the West, Midwest, and South. The most suburban region according to the old definitions is the Northeast Under the new definitions, the West is the most suburban region. with the Northeast being the least suburban region. A complete list of places classified as urban under the new NCVS definitions is provided at the back of this report (appendix table 36).

The rate of violent victimization in urban areas, based on the new classifications of urban, suburban, and rural areas, declined from 2018 to 2019 From 2018 to 2019, the rate of violent victimization in urban areas declined from 26.5 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older to 21.1 per 1,000 (table 12) based on the NCVS's new classifications of urban, suburban, and rural areas (see text box on pp. 12-15). Excluding simple assault, the rate of violent victimization in urban areas fell from 12.2 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older in 2018 to 8.0 per 1,000 in 2019. There were no statistically significant changes in the rates of violent victimization, or of violent victimization excluding simple assault, in suburban or rural areas from 2018 to 2019. The rate of property victimization, however, declined from 2018 to 2019 in both suburban (from 108.6 to 100.8 victimizations per 1.000 households) and rural (from 80.3 to 68.1 per IMO) areas. There was no statistically significant change in the rate of property crime in urban areas. Based on the new definitions, the 2019 rate of violent victimization in urban areas (21.1 per 1,000 persons age 12 or older) and suburban areas (22.3 per 1,000) was higher than the rate in rural areas (16.3 per 1,000). There was no statistically significant difference between the rates of violent victimization in urban and suburban areas, and there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of violent victimization excluding simple assault across urban, suburban, and rural areas. The rate of property victimization in urban areas (153.0 per 1,000 households) was higher than the rate in suburban (100.8 per 1,000) and rural areas (68.1 per 1,000). The rate of property victimization in suburban areas was also higher than the rate in rural areas.

Patterns varied in the demographic characteristics of victims and offenders involved in violent incidents, as perceived by the victims. Based on the 2019 survey, the victim-to-population ratio of 1.0 for both males and females shows that the percentage of violent incidents involving male (49%) or female (51%) victims was equal to males' (49%) or females (51%) share of the &Tables 13 through 17 present incident-level data on victims and offenders. Offender characteristics in the NCVS are based on victims perceptions of offenders. population. The offender-to-population ratio shows that the percentage of violent incidents involving male offenders (75%) was about 1.5 times greater than the percentage of males represented in the population (49%), whereas the percentage of violent incidents involving female offenders (21%) was 0.4 times the percentage of females in the population (51%). The victim-to-population ratio varied by race. The percentage of violent incidents involving white (62%) or black (11%) victims was similar to the population percentages of white (62%) or black (12%) persons. Likewise, about 17% of violent incidents involved Hispanic victims, which was equal to the representation of Hispanics in the population (17%). A smaller percentage of violent incidents involved Asian victims (2%) than the share of Asians in the population (6%).

Based on victims perceptions of the offenders, the offender-to-population ratio shows that the percentage of violent incidents involving black offenders (25%) was 2.1 times the percentage of black persons (12%) in the population. The percentage of violent incidents involving white offenders (50%) was about four-fifths (0.8 times) the percentage of whites (62%) in the population, while the percentage of violent incidents involving Hispanic offenders (19%) was similar to the percentage of Hispanics in the population (17%). The percentage of violent incidents involving Asian offenders (1%) was about one-fifth (0.2 times) the percentage of Asians in the population (6%). The percentage of violent incidents involving offenders of other races (Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders, American Indians and Alaska Natives, and persons of two or more races) was about double (1.9 times) the collective percentage of those races in the population. The offender-to-victim ratio shows that the percentage of violent incidents involving black offenders (25%) was over twice (2.3 times) the percentage of incidents committed against black victims (11%). In contrast, the percentage of incidents involving white offenders (50%) was four-fifths (0.8 times) the percentage of incidents committed against white victims (62%), while the percentage involving Asian offenders was two-fifths (0.4 times) the percentage committed against Asian victims. Persons ages 12 to 17 were more than 1.5 times more likely to be offenders (16%) or victims (15%) in violent incidents than their percentage of the population (9%). Those between the ages of IS to 29 showed a similar pattern. Those age 30 or older were less likely to be offenders (50%) or victims (56%) than their percentage of the population (72%). Females were offenders in a greater percentage of violent incidents committed against females (28%) than against males (14%) (table 14). Males were offenders in a greater percentage of violent incidents committed against males (82%) than against females (69%). Based on victims' perceptions, about 1.7 million violent incidents in 2019 were committed against white persons by offenders who were white, 346,260 violent incidents were committed against black persons by offenders who were black, and 334,600 violent incidents were committed against Hispanic persons by offenders who were Hispanic (table 15).

violent incidents committed by black offenders against white victims (472,570) as were committed by white offenders against black victims (89,980). The largest percentage of violent incidents committed against white, black, and Hispanic victims were committed by someone of the same race or ethnicity (table 16). Offenders were white in 62% of violent incidents committed against white victims, black in 70% of incidents committed against black victims, and Hispanic in 43% of incidents committed against Hispanic victims. Sixty-two percent of violent incidents committed against white victims were perceived to be committed by white offenders, the same portion (62%) of the total U.S. population age 12 or older that was white (table 17).

Prevalence estimates The percentage of persons who experienced violent crime excluding simple assault declined from 2018 to 2019 Prevalence reflects the number or percentage of unique persons who were crime victims, or of unique households that experienced crime. Based on the 2019 survey, 1.10% of all persons age 12 or older experienced one or more violent victimizations, which was not a statistically significant change from the percentage in 2018 (1.18%) but was higher than in 2015 (0.98%) (table 18). The percentage of persons who experienced rape or sexual assault declined from 0.13% in 2018 to 0.08% in 2019, but there was not a statistically significant change in the percentage of persons who experienced robbery, aggravated assault, or simple assault. After increasing 22% from 2015 (0.41%) to 2018 (0.50%), the percentage of U.S. residents age 12 or older who were victims of violent crime excluding simple assault decreased 12% (to 0.44%) in 2019. The number of victims of violent crime excluding simple assault fell from 1.4 million in 2018 to 1.2 million persons age 12 or older in 2019. This was largely driven by a decrease in the number of victims of rape or sexual assault. Prevalence rates declined from 2018 to 2019 for selected characteristics of violent crime.

Between 2018 and 2019, the number of white or Asian violent-crime victims decreased, and the number of Hispanic victims increased Based on the 2019 survey, an estimated 1.17% of males (1.6 million) and 1.04% of females (1.5 million) were the victim of at least one violent crime (table 19). Prevalence rates decreased for some demographic groups from 2018 to 2019. The percentage of females who were victims of violent crime decreased from 1.16% in 2018 to 1.04% in 2019. The percentage of whites who were victims decreased from 1.19% in 2018 to 1.07% in 2019, and the percentage of Asians who were victims declined from 0.67% to 0.42% during this time period. From 2018 to 2019, the prevalence of violent victimization declined for persons ages 35 to 49 (from 1.27% to 1.06%). The prevalence of violent victimization also decreased among persons who were divorced (from 1.81% to 1.54%) or were widows or widowers (from 0.93% to 0.60%). From 2018 to 2019, the portion of Hispanic persons who were victims of violent crime increased from 1.05% to 1.28%. There were no other statistically significant increases in the prevalence of violent victimization by demographic groups from 2018 to 2019. The percentage and number of households that experienced property crime decreased from 2018 to 2019 The 2019 survey found that 6.76% of all households (8.5 million) experienced one or more property victimizations, down from 7.27% (9.1 million) in 2018 (table 20). This decline was driven in part by a decrease in the rate of burglary. The percentage of households experiencing burglary decreased from 1.07% in 2018 to 0.82% in 2019, a decline of 23%. The prevalence of motor-vehicle theft remained relatively stable from 2018 to 2019.

Prevalence of serious crime Tables 21 and 22 in this report present a person-based prevalence measure to show the number and percentage of persons who were victims of a serious crime. This measure includes serious violent and serious property crimes combined into one statistic. Crimes included in this measure are those for which offenders can generally be charged with a felony offense. Serious violent crime includes— ■ Rape or sexual assault completed or attempted rape, completed sexual assault with serious or minor injuries, and completed forced sexual assault without injury ■ Robbery: completed or attempted robbery ■ Aggravated assault: completed aggravated assault with injury, and attempted or threatened aggravated assault with a weapon. Serious property crime includes— ■ Completed burglary: unlawful or forcible entry into places, including a permanent residence, other residence (e.g., a hotel room or vacation residence), or other structure (e.g., a garage or shed), and involving a theft or attempted theft ■ Completed motor-vehicle theft. The measure of serious crime attributes a completed burglary victimization to each person age 12 or older in the household, and it attributes completed motor-vehicle theft to persons age 12 or older in the household when they were the person responding to the survey on behalf of the household (the household reference person) or were related to the household reference person.

The percentage of persons who were victims of serious crime decreased from 2018 to 2019 There were 880,000 fewer victims of serious crimes in 2019 than in 2018, a 19% drop (table 21). Serious crimes are those for which an offender can generally be charged with a felony offense. Based on the 2019 survey, 1.36% of persons age 12 or older (3.8 million) experienced at least one serious crime, down from 1.68% (4.6 million) in 2018. The decline in serious crime was driven primarily by a decrease in serious property crime, especially a decline in completed burglary. The percentage of persons age 12 or older who were victims of serious property crime declined from 1.25% in 2018 to 0.96% in 2019. The percentage of persons age 12 or older who were victims of completed burglary declined from 0.98% in 2018 to 0.73% in 2019. From 2018 to 2019, the percentage of persons age 12 or older who were victims of completed or attempted rape or of completed sexual assault with injury or force declined from 0.09% to 0.06%, a drop of more than 85,000 victims. There were no other statistically significant changes in serious violent crime from 2018 to 2019.

From 2018 to 2019, the percentage of whites and blacks who were victims of serious crime decreased Based on the 2019 survey, 1.44% of males (1.9 million males) and 1.28% of females (l.8 million females) were victims of serious crime (table 22), which represented a decline from 2018 for both sexes. In 2019, the prevalence of serious crime was higher for males than for females. The percentage of white persons age 12 or older who experienced serious crime declined from 1.57% in 2018 to 1.23% in 2019. The percentage of black persons declined from 2.21% to 1.57%. The percentage of Hispanics who were victims of serious crime in 2019 (1.70%) was higher than the percentage of whites (1.23%) or Asians (0.79%). The prevalence of serious crime decreased from 2018 to 2019 among persons ages 12 to 17 (from 1.95% to 1.46%), 35 to 49 (from 1.82% to 1.30%), 50 to 64 (from 1.60% to 1.23%), and 65 or older (from 1.26% to 1.00%).

Never-married persons, married persons, widows or widowers, and divorced persons all experienced declines in serious crime from 2018 to 2019. In 2019, the prevalence of serious crime for married persons (1.04%) was lower than the prevalence for never-married (1.62%), divorced (1.84%), or separated (2.58%) persons.

Methodology Survey coverage The Bureau of Justice Statistics National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is an annual data collection carried out by the U.S. Census Bureau. The NCVS is a self-reported survey that is administered annually from January 1 to December 31. Annual NCVS estimates are based on the number and characteristics of crimes respondents experienced during the prior 6 months, not including the month in which they were interviewed. Therefore, the 2019 survey covers crimes experienced from July 1, 2018 to November 30, 2019, and March 15, 2019 is the middle of the reference period. Crimes are classified by the year of the survey and not by the year of the crime. The NCVS is administered to persons age 12 or older from a nationally representative sample of U.S. households. It collects information on nonfatal personal crimes (rape or sexual assault, robbery, aggravated and simple assault, and personal larceny (purse-snatching and pick-pocketing) and household property crimes (burglary/trespassing, motor-vehide theft, and other types of theft). The survey collects information on threatened, attempted, and completed crimes. It collects data both on crimes reported and not reported to police. Unless specified otherwise, estimates in this report include threatened, attempted, and completed crimes. In addition to providing annual level and change estimates on criminal victimization, the NCVS is the primary source of information on the nature of criminal victimization incidents. Survey respondents provide information about themselves (including age, sex, race, ethnicity, marital status, educational level, and income) and whether they experienced a victimization. For each victimization incident, respondents report information about the offender (including age, sex, race, ethnicity, and victim- offender relationship), characteristics of the crime (including time and place of occurrence, use of weapons, nature of injury, and economic consequences), whether the crime was reported to police, reasons the crime was or was not reported, and experiences with the criminal justice system. Household information, including household-level demographics (e.g., income) and property victimizations committed against the household (e.g., burglary/ CRIMINAL VICTIMIZATION, 2019 I SEPTEMBER 2020 trespassing), is typically collected from the reference person. The reference person is any responsible adult member of the household who is not likely to permanently leave the household. Because an owner or renter of the sampled housing unit is normally the most responsible and knowledgeable household member, this person is generally designated as the reference person and household respondent. However, a household respondent does not have to be one of the household members who owns or rents the unit. In the NCVS, a household is defined as a group of persons who all reside at a sampled address. Persons are considered household members when the sampled address is their usual place of residence at the time of the interview and when they have no primary place of residence elsewhere. Once selected, households remain in the sample for 31/2 years, and eligible persons in these households are interviewed every 6 months, either in person or over the phone, for a total of seven interviews. First interviews are typically conducted in person, with subsequent interviews conducted either in person or by phone. New households rotate into the sample on an ongoing basis to replace outgoing households that have been in the sample for the full 31/2 -year period. The sample includes persons living in group quarters, such as dormitories, rooming houses, and religious- group dwellings, and excludes persons living on military bases or in institutional settings such as correctional or hospital facilities. Measurement of crime in the National Crime Victimization Survey BJS presents data from the NCVS on victimization, incident, and prevalence rates. Victimization rates measure the extent to which violent and property victimizations occur in a specified population during a specified time. Victimization numbers show the total number of times that people or households are victimized by crime. For crimes affecting persons, NCVS victimization rates are estimated by dividing the number of victimizations that occur during a specified time (T) by the population at risk for those victimizations and multiplying the rate by 1,000. Victimization rate - Number of victimizations experienced by a specified population r Number of unique persons for households) in the specified population r x1.0O0 29 3502-022 Page 29 of 53 EFIA_00001575 EFTA00156916
For victimization rates, each victimization represents one person (for personal crimes) or one household (for property crimes) affected by a crime Every victimization experienced by a person or household during the year is counted. For example, if one person experiences two violent crimes during the year, both are counted in the victimization rate. If one household experiences two property crimes, both are counted in the victimization rate. Victimization estimates are presented in figure 3, tables 1 through 10, table 12, and tables 23 through 25 in this report. Incident rates are another measure of crime. The number of incidents is the number of specific criminal acts involving one or more victims. If every victimization had one victim, the number of incidents would be the same as the number of victimizations. If there was more than one victim, the incident estimate is adjusted to compensate for the possibility that the incident could be reported several times by multiple victims and thus be over-counted. For example, if two people were robbed during the same incident, this crime would be counted as one incident and two victimizations. Incident estimates are presented in tables 13 through 17, and tables 25 through 30 in this report. A third measure, reflecting a population's risk of experiencing one or more criminal victimizations, is prevalence rates. Like victimization rates, prevalence rates describe the level of victimization, but the latter are based on the number of unique persons or households in the population experiencing at least one victimization during a specified time. The key distinction between a victimization and prevalence rate is whether the numerator consists of the number of victimizations or the number of unique victims. For example, a person who experienced two robberies within the past year would be counted twice in the victimization rate but only once in the prevalence rate. Prevalence rates are estimated by dividing the number of unique victims or victimized households in the specified population by the total number of persons or households in the population and multiplying the rate by 100, yielding the percentage of the population victimized at least once in a period. 71n the NCVS. personal crimes are personal larceny (purse-snatching and pick-pocketing) and violent victimization (rape or sexual assault. robbery. aggravated assault, and simple assault). Homicide is not included because the NCVS is based on interviews with victims. Property crimes are burglary, residential trespassing, motor-vehicle theft. and other theft. CRIMINAL VICTIMIZATION, 2019 I SEPTEMBER 2020 Prevalence rateT - Number of unique victims (or victimized households) in a specified population a Number of unique persons (or households) In the specified population, x100 Prevalence rates are presented in figures I and 2, and tables 18 through 22 in this report. Prevalence rates for property crimes can be produced at the household or person levels by adjusting the numerators and denominators to reflect households or persons. Table 20 presents property-crime prevalence rates at the household level, and table 21 presents serious property- crime prevalence rates at the personal level. For more information about measuring prevalence in the NCVS, see Measuring the Prevalence of Crime with the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCJ 241656, BJS, September 2013). Non-response and weighting adjustments The 2019 NCVS data file includes 155,076 household interviews. Overall, 71% of eligible households completed interviews. Within participating households, interviews with 249,008 persons were completed in 2019, representing an 83% response rate among eligible persons from responding households. Victimization that occurred outside of the U.S. were excluded from this report. In 2019, about 1% of the unweighted victimizations occurred outside of the U.S. NCVS data are weighted to produce annual estimates of victimization for persons age 12 or older living in U.S. households. Because the NCVS relies on a sample rather than a census of the entire U.S. population, weights are designed to adjust to known population totals and to compensate for survey non-response and other aspects of the complex sample design. NCVS data files include person, household, victimization, and incident weights. Person weights provide an estimate of the population represented by each person in the sample. Household weights provide an estimate of the household population represented by each household in the sample. After proper adjustment, both person and household weights are also typically used to form the denominator in calculations of crime rates. For personal crimes, the incident weight 30 3502-022 Page 30 of 53 EFIA_00001576 EFTA00156917
is derived by dividing the person weight of a victim by the total number of persons victimized during an incident, as reported by the respondent. For property crimes measured at the household level, the incident weight and the household weight are the same, because the victim of a property crime is considered to be the household as a whole. The incident weight is most frequently used to calculate estimates of offenders and victims' demographics. Victimization weights used in this report account for the number of persons victimized during an incident and for high-frequency repeat-victimintions (i.e., series victimizations). Series victimizations are similar in type to one another but occur with such frequency that a victim is unable to recall each individual event or describe each event in detail. Survey procedures allow NCVS interviewers to identify and classify these similar victimizations as series victimizations and to collect detailed information on only the most recent incident in the series. The weighting counts series victimizations as the actual number of victimizations reported by the victim, up to a maximum of 10. Doing so produces more reliable estimates of crime levels than counting such victimizations only once, while the cap at 10 minimizes the effect of extreme outliers on rates. According to the 2019 data, series victimizations accounted for 1.4% of all victimizations and 3.1% of all violent victimizations. Additional information on the enumeration of series victimizations is detailed in the report Methods for Counting High-Frequency Repeat Victimizations in the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCJ 237308, BJS, April 2012). Changes to the household weighting adjustment in 2017 The 2017 NCVS weights included a new adjustment that modified household weights to reflect independent housing-unit totals available internally at the U.S. Census Bureau. This new adjustment was applied only to household weights for housing units and does not affect person weights. Historically, the household weights were adjusted to reflect independent totals for the person population. This new weighting adjustment improves on the prior one and better aligns the number of estimated households in the NCVS with other Census household- survey estimates. CRIMINAL VICTIMIZATION, 2019 I SEPTEMBER 2020 Due to this new adjustment, the 2017 NCVS estimate for the number of households was about 8% lower than the 2016 NCVS estimate. As a result, the estimate of the number of households affected by property crime was also about 8% lower. When making comparisons of property crime at the household level between 2017 and prior years, compare victimization or prevalence rates. Rates are unaffected by this change in weighting methodology because both the numerator and denominator are equally affected. Comparisons of the number of households that were victimized between 2017 and prior years are inappropriate due to this change in weighting methodology. Property crime measured at the person level is unaffected by the change (as presented in measures of serious crime). For more information on weighting in the NCVS, see the Non-response and weighting adjustments section in this methodology and National Crime Victimization Survey, 2016 Technical Documentation (NCJ 251442, BJS, December 2017). Changes to the classification of urban, suburban, and rural areas Beginning in 2019, the NCVS employed a new method for classifying geographical areas (see Classification of urban, suburban, and rural areas in the National Crime Victimization Survey on pp. 12.15). All census blocks not in urbanized areas or urbanized clusters, as defined by the Census Bureau, are classified as rural, consistent with the Census Bureau's definition of rural. Census blocks within cities or Census-designated places that meet certain criteria based on population and density are classified as urban (see appendix table 36), while all other census blocks in urbanized areas or urban clusters are classified as suburban. Classifications of urban places are based on population size, weighted housing-unit density, and the Census Bureau's designations of urbanized areas and urban clusters, using data from the 2010 Census. Housing-unit density is the number of housing units per square mile in a given area. Weighted housing-unit density, under BJS's approach, is the weighted average of the housing-unit densities for all census tracts in an area, with the tracts weighted by their number of housing units. Housing-unit addresses are converted into geographical coordinates through a process called geocoding. Housing units that cannot be geocoded are imputed. For more information on imputation procedures, see National Crime Victimization Survey 2016 Technical Documentation (NCJ 251442, BJS, December 2017). 31 3502-022 Page 31 of 53 EFIA_00001577 EFTA00156918
Table 31 shows the 2019 U.S. resident population for those age 12 or older and the number of households in each category (urban, suburban, rural) under both the new and historical classifications. About one-third of the U.S. resident population age 12 or older were classified as residing in an urban area under the historical definition, compared to about one-eighth under the new definition. The percentage of the resident population classified as residing in a suburban area shifted from 53% to 69%, while the percentage classified as rural shifted from 14% to 19%. Similar shifts in the number of households were observed under the new classification. Standard error computations When national estimates are derived from a sample, as with the NCVS, caution must be used when comparing one estimate to another or when comparing estimates over time. Although one estimate may be larger than another, estimates based on a sample have some degree of sampling error. The sampling error of an estimate depends on several factors, including the amount of variation in the responses and the size of the sample. When the sampling error around an estimate is taken into account, estimates that appear different may not be statistically significant. One measure of the sampling error associated with an estimate is the standard error. The standard error may vary from one estimate to the next. Generally, an estimate with a smaller standard error provides a more reliable approximation of the true value than an estimate with a larger standard error. Estimates with relatively large standard errors have less precision and reliability and should be interpreted with caution. For complex sample designs, there are several methods that can be used to generate standard errors around a point estimate (e.g., numbers, percentages, and rates). In this report, generalized variance function (GVF) parameters and direct-variance estimation were used for variance estimation. Parameters are produced for GVFs that compute the variance of any crime estimate based on the value of that crime estimate. The GVF parameters are generated by fitting estimates and their relative variance to a regression model, using an iterative weighted least-squares procedure where the weight is the inverse of the square of the predicted relative variance. Compared to GVFs, direct-variance estimation is generally considered more accurate in approximating the true variance. In an effort to improve the quality and accurancy of NCVS estimates, BJS used direct-variance estimation instead of GVFs for tables 1 CRIMINAL VICTIMIZATION, 2019 I SEPTEMBER 2020 TABLE 31 Population and number of households, by old and new definition of location of residence, 2019 Old definition New definition Location of residence Number Percent Number Percent Total U.S. resident population age 12 or older 276,900,000 100% 276,900,000 100% Urban 92,450,000 33 33,910,000 12 Suburban 146,700,000 53 190,800,000 69 Rural 37,720,000 14 52,160000 19 Numbed households 126,400,000 100% 126,40000 100% Urban 43,770,000 35 15,900,000 13 Suburban 65,000,000 SI 87,410000 69 Rural 17,660000 14 23.130400 18 Note Details may not sum to totals due to rounding.

and 2 (and for totals in tables 4, 9, 24, and 25 that are also presented in tables I and 2, and statistics in table 12 that are based on the new classification of urban, suburban, and rural areas). To generate standard errors around the victimization estimates found in tables 1 and 2 (and totals in tables 4, 9, 24, and 25, and statistics in table 12 that are based on the new classification of urban, suburban, and rural areas), BJS used a specialized version of Balanced Repeated Replication (BRR) estimation using Fay's method.8 BRR estimation is a type of direct-replication-variance estimation. Under replicate-variance-estimation, a set of replicate weights (e.g., the NCVS typically has a set consisting of 160 replicate weights) is used to capture the sampling variance. Fay's method is utilized for surveys that have rare outcomes in which the entire sample is necessary to properly estimate the variance. The standard error estimates for tables 1 and 2 (and totals in tables 4, 9, 24, and 25), estimated using ERR, differ from those previously reported in prior Criminal Victimization bulletins, which used GVF parameters. Year-to-year statistically significant differences may also vary from those previously reported. See table 32 for comparisons of significance testing between the two methods for 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 compared to 2018, as previously reported in Criminal Victimization, 2018 (NCJ 253043, BJS, September 2019). The U.S. Census Bureau produces GVF parameters for BJS, which account for aspects of the NCVS's complex sample design and represent the curve fitted to a selection of individual standard errors, using a specialized version of BRR based on Fay's method. GVFs express the variance as a function of the expected value of the survey estimate.9 For more information on GVFs, see National Crime Victimization Survey, 2016 Technical Documentation (NCJ 251442, BJS, December 2017). Besides tables 1 and 2 (and totals in tables 4, 9, 24, and 25, and statistics in table 12 that are based on the new dassification of urban, suburban, and rural areas), all standard errors for victimization and incident estimates in this report were generated using GVFs. sFay.

Source Bureau of Justice Statistics. National Crime Victimization Survey. 2014-2018. To generate standard errors around prevalence estimates, BJS used BRR and Taylor Series Linearization (TSL) methods. The TSL method directly estimates variances through a linearized function by combining variance estimates from the stratum and primary sampling units (PSUs) used to sample households and persons.18 In the NCVS, the design parameters used for computing TSL variances are PSUEDOSTRATA (stratum) and HALFSAMPLE (PSU).These design parameters are available for all years except the first half of 1993 and all of 2016; therefore, ERR methods were used for 2016 prevalence estimates. Direct-variance estimation—BRR and TSL—is generally considered more accurate, in terms of how closely the variance estimate approximates the true variance, than GVFs. With direct-variance estimation, each estimate is generated based on the outcome being estimated rather than being generated based on a generalized function. 33 3502-022 Page 33 of 53 EFIA_00001579 EFTA00156920
BJS conducted statistical tests to determine whether differences in estimated numbers, percentages, and rates in this report were statistically significant once sampling error was taken into account. Using statistical analysis programs developed specifically for the NCVS, all comparisons in the text were tested for significance. The primary test procedure was the Student's t-statistic, which tests the difference between two sample estimates. Findings described in this report as increases or decreases passed a test at either the 0.05 level (95% confidence level) or 0.10 level (90% confidence level) of significance. Figures and tables in this report should be referenced for testing on specific findings. Estimates and standard errors of the estimates provided in this report may be used to generate a confidence interval around the estimate as a measure of the margin of error. The following example illustrates how standard errors may be used to generate confidence intervals: Based on the 2019 NCVS, the rate of violent victimization reported to police, excluding simple assault, in 2019 was 3.4 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 12 or older (see appendix table 3). Using the GVFs, BJS determined that the estimated victimization rate has a standard error of 0.38 (see appendix table 3). A confidence interval around the estimate is generated by multiplying the standard error by ±1.96 (the t-score of a normal, two-tailed distribution that excludes 2.5% at either end of the distribution). Therefore, the 95% confidence interval around the 3.4 estimate from 2019 is 3.4 ± (0.38 x 1.96) or (2.63 to 4.13). In other words, if BJS used the same sampling method to select different samples and computed an interval estimate for each sample, it would expect the true population parameter (rate of violent victimization) to fall within the interval estimates 95% of the time. For this report, BJS also calculated a coefficient of variation (CV) for all estimates, representing the ratio of the standard error to the estimate. CVs (not shown in tables) provide another measure of reliability and a means for comparing the precision of estimates across measures with differing levels or metrics. Revised 2016 data file For 2016, BJS greatly increased the NCVS sample size to facilitate the ability to produce state-level victimization estimates for the 22 most populous states. At the same time, the sample was adjusted to reflect the U.S. population counts in the 2010 decennial census. These CRIMINAL VICTIMIZATION, 2019 I SEPTEMBER 2020 changes resulted in a historically large number of new households and first-time interviews in the first half of 2016 and produced challenges in comparing 2016 results to prior data years. Working with the U.S. Census Bureau, BJS subsequently devised the methodology that was used to create the revised 2016 NCVS data file. The result was revised criminal victimization estimates that were nationally representative for 2016 and could be compared with prior and future years. See National Crime Victimization Survey revised 2016 estimates text box (pp. 3.4) and Methodology (pp. 15-18) in Criminal Victimization, 2016: Revised (NCJ 252121, BJS, October 2018), for more information. NCVS measurement of rape or sexual assault The NCVS uses a two-stage measurement approach in the screening and classification of criminal victimization, including rape or sexual assault. In the first stage of screening, survey respondents are administered a series of short-cue screening questions designed to help respondents think about different experiences they may have had during the reference period. (See NCVS-1 at https://www.bjs.govicontenUpub/pdfincvs15_bsq.pdf) This design improves respondents' recall of events, particularly for incidents that may not immediately come to mind as crimes, such as those committed by family members and acquaintances. Respondents who answer affirmatively to any of the short-cue screening items are subsequently administered a crime incident report (OR) designed to classify incidents into specific crime types. (See NCVS-2 at https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/ ncvsl5_cir.pdf) First stage of measurement. Two short-cue screening questions are specifically designed to target sexual victimization: 1. Other than any incidents already mentioned, has anyone attacked or threatened you in any of these ways— a. with any weapon, such as a gun or knife b. with anything like a baseball bat, frying pan, scissors, or stick c. by something thrown, such as a rock or bottle d. by grabbing, punching, or choking e. any rape, attempted rape, or other types of sexual attack 34 3502-022 Page 34 of 53 EFIA_00001580 EFTA00156921
f. any face-to-face threats g. any attack or threat or use of force by anyone at all? Please mention it even if you are not certain it was a crime. 2. Incidents involving forced or unwanted sexual acts are often difficult to talk about. Other than any incidents already mentioned, have you been forced or coerced to engage in unwanted sexual activity by— a. someone you did not know b. a casual acquaintance c. someone you know well? Respondents may screen into a CIR if they respond affirmatively to another short-cue screening question. For instance, a separate screening question cues respondents to think of attacks or threats that took place in specific locations, such as at home, work, or school. Respondents who recall a sexual victimization that occurred at home, work, or school and answer affirmatively would be administered a CIR even if they did not respond affirmatively to the screening question targeting sexual victimization. Second stage of measurement. The OR is used to collect information on the attributes of each incident. The key attributes of sexual violence that are used to classify a victimization as a rape or sexual assault are the type of attack and physical injury suffered. Victims are asked if "the offender hit you, knockled I you down, or actually attackledl you in any way"; if "the offender TRIIEDI to attack you"; or if "the offender THREATENIEDI you with harm in any way?" The survey participant is classified as a victim of rape or sexual assault if he or she responds affirmatively to one of these three questions and then responds that the completed, attempted, or threatened attack was— ■ rape ■ attempted rape ■ sexual assault other than rape or attempted rape ■ verbal threat of rape ■ verbal threat of sexual assault other than rape ■ unwanted sexual contact with force (e.g., grabbing or fondling) ■ unwanted sexual contact without force (e.g., grabbing or fondling). If the victim selects one of the following response options to describe the attack, he or she is also classified as a CRIMINAL VICTIMIZATION, 2019 I SEPTEMBER 2020 Classification of rape and sexual assault in the National Crime Victimization Survey Measure Element of sexual violence Completed rape Type of attack = rape Type of injury = rape Attempted rape Type of attack = attempted rape Type of injury = attempted rape Type of threat = verbal threat of rapewith weapon Threatened rape Type of attempted attack/threat = verbal threat of rape Sexual assault Type of attack = sexual assault other than rape or attempted rape Type of injury = sexual assault other than rape or attempted rape Type of attempted attack/threat = unwanted sexual contact with force Type of attempted attadc/threat = unwanted sexual contact without force Type of attempted anade/threat = verbal threat of sexual assault other than rape Note: Victim is determined to be present in all measures of rape and sexual assault. Source: Bureau of Justice Statistic. National Crime Victimization Survey. 2019. victim of rape or sexual assault if the injuries suffered as a result of the incident are described as— ■ rape ■ attempted rape ■ sexual assault other than rape or attempted rape. Coercion. The CIR does not ask respondents if psychological coercion was used, nor make any explicit reference to the victim being unable to provide consent (e.g., in incidents involving drugs or alcohol use). One screening question targeted to rape and sexual assault asks respondents if force or coercion was used to initiate unwanted sexual activity. The final classification of incidents by the OR results in the following definitions of rape and sexual assault used in the NCVS: Rape. Coerced or forced sexual intercourse. Forced sexual intercourse means vaginal, anal, or oral penetration by the offender(s). This category could include incidents where the penetration was from a foreign object such as a bottle. It includes attempted rape, threatened rape, male and female victims, and both heterosexual and same-sex incidents. Sexual assault. A wide range of victimization, separate from rape, attempted rape, or threatened rape. These crimes include attacks or threatened attacks involving unwanted sexual contact between the victim and offender. Sexual assaults may or may not involve force and include such things as grabbing or fondling. 35 3502-022 Page 35 of 53 EFIA_00001581 EFTA00156922
