Nonresponse Adjustment for the National Sample of the National Crime Survey
Nonresponse Adjustment for the National Sample of the National Crime Survey
RR86-08
Introduction
The following is a summary of observations and recommendations based on research on the National Crime Survey (NCS) nonresponse adjustment procedure during the past year. Uncertainty regarding the nature of the NCS design in the fairly near future, which persisted throughout the project, encumbered the identification of a specific focus of the nonresponse research. Various observations and discussions with others involved in NCS work suggested that substantial changes in the nonresponse adjustment procedure would not be considered until more definitive decisions were made regarding to the prospect of a “redesign” of the survey during the next two-three years. Therefore our research focused essentially on general aspects of nonresponse adjustment for which recommended changes could most likely be achieved with minimum effort. Moreover we also presented alternative procedures that would be applicable if the current design is continued, but opted not to pursue such alternatives in great detail in light of pending decisions on NCS design changes.
