The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) collects information about the gender of victims for non-fatal violent crimes. RTI assists the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to redesign the to render it more productive, informative, and relevant. These improvements will ultimately build overall unity of NCVS, increase user satisfaction, and create a larger and more diverse group of users and consumers who can support, access, and benefit from the NCVS and its byproducts. The goals of this project are to (1) better understand and address key substantive issues in criminal victimization to enhance NCVS capabilities, (2) enhance BJS capacity to use NCVS and other statistical collections to report on key policy issues in criminal victimization, and (2) enhance use of NCVS by broader research and stakeholder communities.
