The International Crime Survey in developing countries used the standard questionnaire administered by interviewers in a face-to- face interviewing of a sample of respondents. The main objectives of the survey were the collection and analysis of comparable information at the international level, as well as the promotion of the survey as an important policy and research tool in countries that lack experience in this area, such as developing countries and countries in transition. Findings show that property crime was the most frequent form of victimization. It largely affects developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and to a lesser extent the other regions. The second most frequent form of victimization in all regions was violent crime, with the exception of Asia; Asia showed the lowest rates for all types of crime. Among the types of offenses addressed by the survey, consumer fraud and corruption were the most frequent in all the regions of the developing world and in most of the cities within the specific regions. Personal victimization occurred most often away from home, elsewhere in the city. Violent crimes, however, often happened in the victim's own house or in the vicinity. Domestic violence was a frequent event. Data are also provided on victimization by gender, crime prevention measures, respondents' perceptions of crime seriousness, and respondents' attitudes toward police and punishment.
