NCVS Victimization Analysis Tool (NVAT)

Published by Bureau of Justice Statistics | Department of Justice | Catalog Last Checked: November 14, 2025 at 05:55 AM | Dataset Last Updated: January 01, 2012 at 12:00 AM
This dynamic analysis tool allows you to examine National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) data on both violent and property victimization by select victim, household, and incident characteristics. The NCVS is the nation's primary source of information on criminal victimization. It is an annual data collection conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Justice Statistics. 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. Violent crimes measured by the NCVS include rape and sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault. Property crimes include burglary/trespassing, motor-vehicle theft, and theft.
