This project used data from multiple sources-the area-identified National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS, 2008-2012), and data from other public data sources such as the American Community Survey (ACS) and the decennial Census data-to study how the changing geography of American immigration has influenced violent victimization among different racial and ethnic groups, particularly Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites.
This collection includes three Stata data files:
- "Data_File1_county_foreignborn_1980_2010.dta" with 6 variables and 3,103 cases
- "Data_File2_county_variables_2007_2012.dta" with 19 variables and 18,618 cases
- "Data_File3_tract_variables_2007_2012.dta" with 16 variables and 440,083 cases.
The area-identified NCVS data are only accessible through the Census Research Data Centers and could not be archived.
Impacts of Social Proximity to Bias Crime Among Compact of Free Association (COFA)-Migrants in Hawaii, 2017-2018 (ICPSR 37330)
This study utilized respondent-driven sampling (RDS) among Compact of Free Association (COFA)-migrants in Hawaii to explore the harms of bias crimes on migrant communities. To examine the impacts of bias crimes on communities, the investigators examined the diffusion of negative psychological impacts, community impacts, and perceptions of safety for those who had been direct victims, those in the COFA-migrant community who are close to someone who has been a victim (proximal victim) but are not direct victims, and those who are members of the community but have not been a direct victim or know someone close to them who was a direct victim.
This study also examined the how negative impacts of bias crime ultimately impact the adaption of COFA-migrants who have immigrated in the attempt to build new lives in Hawaii.
Longitudinal Examination of Victimization Experiences of Latinos (LEVEL): Extending the Bias Victimization Study, San Diego, CA, Galveston, TX, Houston, TX, Boston, MA, 2019-2020 (ICPSR 38228)
The Longitudinal Examination of Victimization Experiences of Latinos (LEVEL) study surveyed Latino adults from four major cities across the United States to evaluate the past-year incidence and prevalence of bias or hate motivated victimization. This study is a follow-up to the Understanding and Measuring Bias Victimization Against Latinos study, ICPSR 37598, that was conducted in 2018-2019. The hope of this follow-up study, in conjunction with the original study "Wave 1", is to provide greater context into bias victimization by breaking apart the diverse nature of Latinx communities in regards to immigration status, language use, origin, acculturation, and enculturation.

Understanding and Measuring Bias Victimization Against Latinos, San Diego, CA, Galveston, TX, Houston, TX, Boston, MA, 2018-2019 (ICPSR 37598)
This study surveyed immigrant and non-immigrant populations residing in high Latino population communities in order to:
- Assess the nature and pattern of bias motivated victimization.
- Explore the co-occurrence of bias motivated victimization with other forms of victimization.
- Measure reporting and help-seeking behaviors of individuals who experience bias motivated victimization.
- Identify cultural factors which may contribute to the risk of bias victimization.
- Evaluate the effect of bias victimization on negative psychosocial outcomes relative to other forms of victimization.
The study's sample was a community sample of 910 respondents which included male and female Latino adults across three metropolitan areas within the conterminous United States. These respondents completed the survey in one of two ways. One set of respondents completed the survey on a tablet with the help of the research team, while the other group self-administered the survey on their own mobile device. The method used to complete the survey was randomly selected. A third option (paper and pencil with an administrator) was initially included but was removed early in the survey's deployment. The survey was administered from May 2018 to March 2019 in the respondent's preferred language (English or Spanish).
This collection contains 1,620 variables, and includes derived variables for several scales used in the questionnaire. Bias victimization measures considered both hate crimes (e.g. physical assault) and non-criminal bias events (e.g. racial slurs) and allowed the respondent to report multiple incidents, perpetrators, and types of bias victimization. The respondents were asked about their help-seeking and reporting behaviors for the experience of bias victimization they considered to be the most severe and the measures considered both formal (e.g. contacting the police) and informal (e.g. communicating with family) help-seeking behaviors. The victimization scale measured exposure to traumatic events (e.g. witnessing a murder) as well as experiences of victimization (e.g. physical assault). Acculturation and enculturation scales measured topics such as the respondent's use of Spanish and English and their consumption of media in both languages. The variables pertaining to acculturative stress considered factors such as feelings of social isolation, experiences of racism, and conflict with family members. The variables for mental health outcomes measured symptoms of anger, anxiety, depression, and disassociation.
Victimization and Fear of Crime among Arab Americans in Metro-Detroit 2014 (ICPSR 36418)
These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they were received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except for the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompanying readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collection and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed.
This study examines the experiences of Arab versus non-Arab households with crime and their relationships with and attitudes towards the police in their communities. Face to face interviews were conducted in 414 households. Data were analyzed to gauge respondents' level of fear regarding crime and other factors that affect their risk of victimization.
This collection includes one SPSS data file: "Arab_study_data.sav" with 201 variables and 414 cases and one SPSS syntax file: "Arab_study_syntax.sps".
