Victims of Violent Crimes per 1,000 Population

Description: 

Number of people who report being the victim of a violent crime, per 1,000 people age 12 and over.

Methodological Notes: 

Violent crimes included are rape/sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault. This measure does not include murder. 

Due to methodological inconsistencies between the NCVS data for 2006, 2016, and the data for other years, the estimates for 2006 and 2016 are omitted from the graphing utility. See the methodological section of Criminal Victimization, 2016 for more information.

More information about the National Crime Victimization Survey is available from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
