| Abstract: |
In 2014, 1.1 percent of all persons age 12 or older (3 million persons) experienced at least one violent victimization. An estimated 0.5 percent experienced at least one serious violent victimization in 2014. No significant change occurred in the rate of violent crime from 2013. There was no statistically significant change in the rate of serious violence, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, violence resulting in an injury, and violence involving a firearm. Neither was there any significant change in the percentage of violent crime reported to police from 2013 to 2014 (46 percent). No change occurred in the percentage of violent-crime victims who received assistance from a victim service agency. Eight percent of all households (10.4 million households) experienced one or more property. crimes. The prevalence rate of property victimization declined from 9 percent of all households in 2013 to 8 percent in 2014. A figure shows the rates of violent crime and property crime separately from 1993 through 2014. Eleven tables show various crime-related trends over time, including separate tables for violent victimization by type of violent crime for 2005, 2013, and 2014 and firearm victimizations for 2005 through 2014. The methodology of the NCVS is described.
