Criminal Victimization and Perceptions of Community Safety in 12 Cities, 1998 Presents survey
data from 12 cities regarding criminal victimization and residents' attitudes
toward their neighborhood, their city, and the local policing services.
For the first time in 20 years, BJS in joint effort with the Office
of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) conducted city-level
surveys on crime victimization. These city surveys, different from the
National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), used Random Digit Dialing
(RDD) to contact households. Participating cities are -- Chicago, IL,
Kansas City, MO, Knoxville, TN, Los Angeles, CA, Madison, WI, New York,
NY, San Diego, CA, Savannah, GA, Spokane, WA, Springfield, MA, Tucson,
AZ, and Washington, DC. Unlike the NCVS, findings from these surveys do
not represent national estimates. 6/99 NCJ 173940
