Abstract:
|
In 1973 the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) introduced the National Crime [Victimization] Survey (NCS and later NCVS), which is fielded by the US Census Bureau. Data are collected twice a year from a nationally representative sample to obtain information about incidents of crime, victimization, and trends involving victims 12 years of age and older and their households. Last year, NORC conducted a nonresponse bias study on the NCVS for BJS. In this presentation, we will discuss the analytical methods that NORC used. These methods include: Capture Recapture estimates, differential nonresponse by geo-socio-demo groups, comparison of results with Uniform Crime Reports, use of longitudinal data, use of paradata, logistic models and imputation.
