***** PUBLICATION ADVISORY ***** BJS RELEASES NEW NATIONAL CRIME VICTIMIZATION SURVEY (NCVS) DASHBOARD (N-DASH) WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics today released the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) Dashboard (N-DASH). The first of its kind at BJS, this dynamic analysis tool allows users to examine NCVS data on both personal and property victimization, by select victim, household and incident characteristics. The N-DASH modernizes public access to NCVS data in a new, interactive online data visualization dashboard. The N-DASH replaces and enhances the core functionality of the previous NCVS Victimization Analysis Tool (NVAT), increases the speed of conducting analyses, contains new data elements and provides capability for custom graphics and other modern visualization features. The dashboard provides direct and user-friendly access to the largest collection of data on criminal victimization in the United States, beginning in 1993. The NCVS is the nation's primary source of information on criminal victimization. It is an annual data collection sponsored by BJS. The NCVS collects information from a nationally representative sample of U.S. households on nonfatal crimes, reported and not reported to the police, against persons age 12 or older.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing and disseminating reliable statistics on crime and criminal justice in the United States. Doris J. James is the acting director. |
