International Crime Victims Survey

Abstract

Abstract This essay on the International Crime Victims Survey summarizes the purpose, history, coverage, content, recent findings, and strengths and weaknesses of the survey. Data from the survey are used extensively in comparative international studies of crime and victimization. To date the survey has been administered five times, first in 1989 and most recently in 2004–2005. The survey is supported by a working group of European criminologists and a range of institutional actors, including the United Nations Interregional Criminal Justice Research Institute, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Gallup Europe, and the European Commission's Directorate General for Research and Technology Development.
