FAQTAXES

Shape15 YOU ARE WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY BY CONDUCTING THIS USELESS SURVEY.

The survey tells us about the amount and nature of crime as well as crime trends and crimes not reported to the police. It can help save taxpayer money when new programs are developed by focusing on the people who are most likely to be victims of crime and making crime prevention and control programs more effective. It also tells us about people’s opinions about neighborhood safety and local police.

FAQASKPOLICE

WHY DON'T YOU CALL THE POLICE IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT CRIME?

NCVS data show that over half of all crimes go unreported to the police. This survey is the only way to find out about these crimes and it provides more detailed information than we get from the police.

FAQWHOUSES

WHO USES THIS INFORMATION? WHAT GOOD IS IT?

The survey is widely used by policy makers at all levels of government, crime prevention groups, people who help crime victims, researchers in many fields, the media, as well as others. The survey is used to track trends and patterns in crime and safety and to develop policies.

FAQTOOMANYQS

WHY DO I HAVE TO ANSWER ALL THESE QUESTIONS WHEN I ALREADY TOLD YOU NO CRIMES WERE COMMITTED AGAINST US IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS?

We have studied asking fewer questions, but have found that people sometimes don’t think about a crime until a specific question reminds them about it. We need to ask all people the same questions to guarantee the quality of the data.

FAQNOCRIMES

I DON'T HAVE ANY CRIMES TO REPORT. WHY DON'T YOU INTERVIEW MY NEIGHBOR? I KNOW HE'D HAVE SOME CRIMES TO REPORT.

Whether you experienced a crime or not, you are helping the nation understand crime and safety issues—your experience matters. We need a clearer picture of who’s impacted by crime and how these impacts vary for different people and households. Your participation is key to this understanding.

FAQSTILLCRIME

ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS BUT CRIMES STILL OCCUR. THIS SURVEY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING.

It may not be possible to eliminate all crime, although we want to reduce it as much as possible. The survey is also used to develop and improve programs for assisting those who have become crime victims.

FAQNMBRTIMES

I'VE ALREADY ANSWERED THESE QUESTIONS ONCE. HOW MANY TIMES WILL I BE CONTACTED?

Census Bureau representatives contact household members at a selected address every 6 months for a total of seven interviews. If you move away during that time, we will interview the residents who move in. Research has shown that by contacting the same households a number of times we get the most accurate information.

FAQNCVSINFO

I ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, BUT NEVER SEE ANY RESULTS. HOW CAN I GET INFORMATION REGARDING BJS/NCVS?

You can find detailed results from the survey at the BJS website at

https://bjs.ojp.gov/programs/ncvs

Many newspapers and television stations write about the survey results when reports come out so you may see something there too.

FAQYOUTH

WHY DO YOU NEED TO INTERVIEW MY CHILD/CHILDREN

Many crimes, especially those that happen to children, never get reported to police. The NCVS is one of the only ways to find out what kinds of crimes are happening to young people. The NCVS collects data from young people to create statistics on who has and has not been a victim of a crime, which is why we need to speak with all children (age 12 and older) in the household, regardless of whether they have been a victim in the past 6 months.

FAQSOGENID⁶

Shape16 WHY DOES THE NCVS ASK ABOUT SEXUAL ORIENTATION?

Research has shown that sexual orientation is correlated with crime victimization. This question is included in the NCVS to better understand the relationship between this characteristic and experiences with criminal victimization. Additionally, discrimination against persons because of their sexual orientation is prohibited by federal hate crime statutes and the 2013 reauthorized Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Since the NCVS includes measures of hate crime and the provision of victim services, the inclusion of this item in the NCVS will allow researchers to better address policy-relevant questions about victimization and victim services.

Shape17 What is meant by "sexual orientation?"

The direction of one's romantic or sexual attraction to members of the same sex, opposite sex, or both sexes.

Distress

Below are some steps you can follow when you encounter a respondent showing signs of distress:

Step 1: If the respondent is exhibiting any signs of distress, remain calm and ask the respondent one of the following:

"How are you doing?"

"Are you ok?"
"Do you have any questions?"
- If the respondent indicates they are "Ok" and do not have any questions, continue with the interview.
- Otherwise continue to step 2a when interviewing adults or step 2b when interviewing respondents ages 12-17.

Step 2a: (ADULT ONLY) If the respondent does not respond or indicates they are distressed ask:
"Do you need to take a short break?"
- If the respondent answers "No" to this question, then continue with the interview.
- If the respondent answers "Yes" to this question, allow the respondent to take a short break and mention something such as:
"Let's stop and take a short break. I will check back in with you in a few moments. Some respondents may need a moment to collect themselves and will be willing to proceed." Then continue with step 3.

Step 2b: (YOUTH ONLY) If the respondent does not respond or indicates they are distressed ask one of the following:
"Do you need to take a short break?"
"Would you like to get your mom/dad/another adult at home?"
- If the youth answers "No" to this question, then continue with the interview.
- If the youth answers "Yes," to taking a short break, allow the respondent to take a short break and mention something such as:
"Let's stop and take a short break. I will check back in with you in a few moments. Some respondents may need a moment to collect themselves and will be willing to proceed." Then continue with step 3.
- If the youth answers "Yes," to getting a parent/adult then find a parent/adult or ask the youth to get a parent/adult if on the telephone. Update the parent/adult that the interview upset the young respondent and they would like a short break. Then continue with step 3.

Step 3: After the break, ask the respondent:
"Are you OK to continue with the interview?"
- If the respondent answers "Yes," continue with the interview.
- If the respondent answers "No" after taking a short break, follow the steps below depending on whether you are conducting the interview in person (Step 4a) or over the telephone (Step 4b).

- If the respondent does not improve after the steps 1-3 above or if they express statements that they might hurt themselves or others STOP THE INTERVIEW.

For In Person Interviews
Step 4a: Stay calm and say the following:
"It seems you are upset and it may be helpful to talk to a trained counselor. I can provide you with some resources that you can contact on your own, if you'd like?"
- If the respondent asks for resources, say the following:
"Thank you for participating and for sharing such sensitive information about your experiences. I'm going to provide you with a handout of resources. This has contact information for organizations that you can use if you want to talk about any feelings or emotions you experience."
- Give them a copy of the NCVS-110 Factsheet, show them the list of resources, and end the interview.
- If the respondent doesn't want the resources, say the following:
"Thank you for participating and for sharing such sensitive information about your experiences." End the interview.

For Telephone Interviews
Step 4b: Stay calm and say the following:
"It seems you are upset and it may be helpful to talk to a trained counselor. I can read you the list of some resources that you can contact when we are finished or mail the list of resources to you, which would you prefer?"
- If the respondent asks you to read the list of resources, say the following:
"Thank you for participating and for sharing such sensitive information about your experiences. Can you please get a pen and a piece of paper? I'm going to read you some different resources that you can contact if you would like to speak to someone at any point after we hang up."
Click on the Resources tab and read the names of the crisis resources and toll-free numbers aloud from the Resources tab and then end the interview.
- If the respondent asks you to mail the list of resources, say the following:
"Thank you for participating and for sharing such sensitive information about your experiences. I will mail a copy of the resources to you." End the interview.
- If the respondent doesn't want the resources, say the following:
"Thank you for participating and for sharing such sensitive information about your experiences." End the interview.

HELP SCREENS

H_GETLETTER

Dear Resident,

Your address has been selected to participate in the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).

What is the NCVS?
The NCVS asks people about crimes they may have experienced in the past 6 months. We are interested in hearing about crimes, even those that were not reported to the police. Even if you have not experienced any crimes, we would like to speak with you.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics sponsors the survey, and the U.S. Census Bureau conducts the interviews. Since 1973, the NCVS has been used to show crime trends and patterns in the United States. To learn more, visit https://bjs.ojp.gov/ncvs-participant.

What should I expect?
A Census Bureau interviewer will call or visit your home to invite you to participate.
- The interviewer will ask you or another person in the household a few questions about you and the people who live here.
- All household members who are 12 years or older will be invited to complete the survey.

Are my answers confidential?
Everything you say during the interview will stay completely private and confidential, as required by federal law. Your responses will be combined with those from other people who respond to the survey to produce statistical data summaries. The data will not include any information that could be used to identify you, your household, or other residents.

Why should I participate?
By participating, you will represent hundreds of households like yours. You can also help:
- Your community. Communities across the nation can use NCVS data to support people affected by crime.
- Schools. The U.S. Department of Education uses these data to measure crime, violence, and safety in schools.
- Employers. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services uses NCVS data to understand violence in the workplace.
- Law enforcement. Law enforcement agencies can use NCVS data to strengthen awareness of crimes that aren't reported to police and to develop prevention programs.
- Many others. News organizations, students, and researchers use NCVS data to examine various issues related to crime and safety.

Your address cannot be replaced. To make sure the NCVS results are accurate and reliable, we need your help.

Thank you for participating in this important survey.

Sincerely,
Rachel E. Morgan, Ph.D.
Chief, Victimization Statistics Unit
Bureau of Justice Statistics
U.S. Department of Justice

Frequently Asked Questions

How was I chosen for this survey?
The U.S. Census Bureau used a scientific process to randomly select certain addresses, including yours, from all addresses in the United States. This process ensures that selected addresses represent all households in the United States. We cannot swap one address for another. If we did, the survey results would not accurately reflect crime in the country.

Why not get this information from the police?
NCVS data show that over half of all crimes go unreported to the police. This survey is the only way to find out about these crimes across the nation. It also provides more detailed information than we get from the police.

I have not been a victim of a crime. Why should I participate in a crime survey?
Whether you experienced a crime or not, you are helping the nation understand crime and safety issues—your experience matters. We need a clearer picture of who's impacted by crime and how these impacts vary for different people and households. Your participation is key to this understanding.

How often will I be contacted for this survey? How long will an interview take?
Census Bureau representatives contact household members at selected addresses every 6 months for a total of seven interviews. If you move away during that time, we will interview the residents who move in. We expect each interview to take about 25 minutes, but you may need less time or more.

I thought the Census Bureau counts people every 10 years. Why are you doing this survey now?
Besides the decennial census conducted every 10 years, the Census Bureau collects a variety of information through other censuses and surveys, such as the NCVS. These surveys provide current information on topics such as housing, crime, unemployment, business, and education. This survey is collected for the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

How will my information be protected?
The Census Bureau and the Bureau of Justice Statistics are required by law to protect your information. The Census Bureau and the Bureau of Justice Statistics are not permitted to publicly release your responses in a way that could identify you or your household. The Census Bureau is conducting this survey for the Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice under the authority of law (Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 8). The Bureau of Justice Statistics is authorized to collect this survey information by law (Title 34, U.S.C., Section 10132). Federal law protects your privacy and keeps your answers confidential (Title 13, U.S.C., Section 9 and Title 34, U.S.C., Sections 10231 and 10134). Per the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from cybersecurity risks through screening of the systems that transmit your data. This collection has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB Number: 1121-0111). If this number were not displayed, we could not conduct this survey. Your voluntary participation in this survey is important, however, you may decline to answer any or all questions.

How are the data used?
NCVS data provide information on many topics, including crime in schools, trends in violent crime, costs associated with crime, and law enforcement responses to reports of criminal victimization. Examples of NCVS data products can be found on the Bureau of Justice Statistics' website at https://bjs.ojp.gov/programs/ncvs.

How do I ask questions about this survey?
You can ask the Census Bureau interviewer any questions you have. You can also contact the Bureau of Justice Statistics with questions or feedback at askBJS@usdoj.gov; by phone at 202-307-0765; or by mail: Chief, Victimization Statistics Unit, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 999 N. Capitol Street, NE, Washington, DC, 20531. To ensure that the person contacting you about the survey is a Census Bureau employee or for more information, visit www.census.gov/ncvs.

We are interested in the most recent CONTINUOUS length of time the respondent has lived as a usual resident at the sample address.

1 999FORLINE1_LASTNAME_CK and LASTNAME_CK were added to the instrument in June 2025 to prevent FRs from over-writing previous names with 9s.

2 Starting in March 2025 data collection, this answer category was modified to no longer include the text “or attached garage” which was included January 2024 through February 2025.

3 The clarification of “NOT on a security camera” was added to this answer category starting in June 2025 data collection.

4 HATE_GENID was asked of respondents during January 2025 data collection. For February 2025 data collection, due to the Executive Order, “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government” issued on January 20, 2025, this item remained in the instrument, but interviewers were instructed not to ask this question of respondents. This item was removed from the instrument for March-May 2025 data collection and was reinstated (with new FR text language) in June 2025.

5 Items GENID_BIRTH, GENID_DESCRIBE, and GENID_CONFIRM were only asked of respondents during January 2025 data collection. For February 2025 data collection, due to the Executive Order, “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government” issued on January 20, 2025, these items remained in the instrument, but interviewers were instructed not to ask these questions of respondents. Starting with March 2025 data collection, the items were removed from the instrument. The skip patterns reflected in this questionnaire reflect the instrument path as of March 2025, after the items were removed.

6 This FAQ was modified to remove definitions of gender identity in March 2025 due to the Executive Order, “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government” issued on January 20, 2025.
