Preliminary Estimates for the National Crime Survey Using Regression and Time Series
Preliminary Estimates for the National Crime Survey Using Regression and Time Series
RR84-22
Introduction
In the National Crime Survey (NCS) conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Justice Statistics, a sampled household is interviewed every six months for three years. The first of the seven interviews, the bounding interview, is used only to set a time frame in order to avoid duplicating reported crimes on subsequent visits. The estimated crime levels and rates that are computed from the NCS are based on the last six interviews only. For further detail on the rotating panel design, one can refer to the Bureau of the Census documentation (see reference). At the interview, the victimizations that occurred during the past six months are reported. As a result, all the reports on victimizations that occurred during the year of interest are not collected until June of the following year.
