City-Level Survey of Crime Victimization and Citizen Attitudes
The Bureau Justice Statistics in a joint effort with the Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services (COPS,) conducted victimization surveys in 12 selected
cities. The
standard National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) instrument was used with
questions
about citizen perceptions of community policing and neighborhood issues.
Emergency Room Statistics on Intentional Violence
Collects data on intentional injuries, such as domestic violence, rape, and child
abuse, from a national sample of hospital emergency rooms. Through the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS),
information is obtained on characteristics of the victim and offender, victim-
offender
relationship, alcohol/drug involvement in the incident, and circumstances of the
injury.
National Census of Victim Service Providers (NCVSP)
The Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) National Census of Victim Service Providers
(NCVSP)
collection provides national data on all programs and organizations that served victims
of
crime or abuse within the year prior to the survey.
National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)
The Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is

Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS)
Provides detailed information on the characteristics of persons who had some type of
contact with police during the year, including those who contacted the police to
report a crime or were pulled over in a traffic stop. The PPCS interviews a
nationally
representative sample of residents age 16 or older as a supplement to the National
Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). The survey enables BJS to examine the perceptions
of
police behavior and response during these encounters.
