Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The National Crime Victimization Survey is a representative household survey, which means that it seeks to capture the crime experiences of a representative sample of the population. This is one of the ways in which it attempts to provide accurate estimates of the extent and nature of crime victimization in the United States. Options A, B, and D are all incorrect. The survey is actually quite large in scope and is designed to collect detailed information about the number and nature of crimes experienced by victims. Additionally, it includes a significant amount of incident-specific data. Finally, although the survey does not capture all instances of crime and delinquency (such as those that go unreported), it does attempt to adjust for these factors in order to provide as accurate a picture as possible of the overall prevalence of crime.
