Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Measuring victim intimidation in the NCVS is difficult because those who are intimidated from reporting may be unwilling to disclose to the interviewer. This means that the survey may not accurately capture the extent to which victim intimidation is occurring. While lack of agreement on what constitutes intimidation and the rates of nonreporting are also challenges in measuring victim intimidation, they are not specifically related to the NCVS. The small remunerations provided to NCVS participants may be a potential bias, but it is not specifically related to measuring victim intimidation.
