- "As part of ongoing research efforts associated with redesign of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) has investigated ways to include high-frequency repeat victimization, or series victimizations, in estimates of criminal victimization. Including series victimizations would obtain a more accurate estimate of victimization. This report summarizes the research results and describes changes in BJS's enumeration practices regarding the treatment of series victimizations when estimating annual victimization rates."--Executive summary.
- "To assess the strengths and weaknesses for enumerating and classifying series victimizations into national victimization estimates, this report examined the extent and the nature of series victimization in the NCVS and reviewed the general patterns and statistical properties of victims' responses to being asked how many times the incident occurred. Series victimization analyses also examined how different treatments would affect conclusions about the victimization level and annual rate of change for various crime types and victimization characteristics."--Executive summary.
