The National Crime Victimization Survey is a nationally representative survey of victims in the United States that's designed to provide estimates of victimization that are representative of the population for persons ages 12 and older in the U.S. The survey interviews people for a maximum of three and a half years at six-month intervals, so the same person is interviewed multiple times.
