Social Science Statistics & Data Sources

"National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is the Nation's primary source of information on criminal victimization. Each year, data are obtained from a nationally representative sample of 42,000 households comprising nearly 76,000 persons on the frequency, characteristics and consequences of criminal victimization in the United States. The survey enables the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to estimate the likelihood of victimization by rape, sexual assault, robbery, assault, theft, household burglary, and motor vehicle theft for the population as a whole as well as for segments of the population such as women, the elderly, members of various racial groups, city dwellers, or other groups. The NCVS provides the largest national forum for victims to describe the impact of crime and characteristics of violent offenders.1973-Present (Redesign 1992) The survey was redesigned and the new methodology was systematically field-tested and introduced starting in 1989. The first annual results from the redesigned survey were published for 1993."

The National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD) hosts several large-scale datasets, including the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), and the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN).

BJS is the United States' primary source for criminal justice statistics and datasets. It collects, analyzes, and disseminates statistics and reports on crime and criminal justice at the local, state, and federal level including information about inmate populations, prison facilities, expenditures, deaths in custody, victims of crimes, and more.

The UCR Program collects statistics on violent crime (murder and non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault) and property crime (burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft). Date coverage varies, but in some cases goes back to 1960. See the “UCR Data Explorer” tool at https://crime-data-explorer.fr.cloud.gov
