This sample of the National Crime Survey contains
information about victimization in 26 central cities in the United
States. The data are designed to achieve three primary objectives: 1)
to develop detailed information about the victims and consequences of
crime, 2) to estimate the numbers and types of crimes not reported to
police, and 3) to provide uniform measures of selected types of crimes
and permit reliable comparisons over time and between areas of the
country. Information about each household or personal victimization was
recorded. The data include type of crime (attempts are covered as
well), description of offender, severity of crime, injuries or losses,
time and place of occurrence, age, race and sex of offender(s),
relationship of offenders to victims, education, migration, labor force
status, occupation, and income of persons involved.
