Criminal Victimization of District of Columbia Residents and Capitol Hill Employees, 1982-1983
Description
This data collection contains information about the
victimization of District of Columbia residents. The primary objective
was to measure the extent of crime in the District of Columbia and the
impact of crime on the quality of life in the District. Researchers
also studied the degree to which congressional employees working in
the Capitol Hill area were subject to victimization and the extent to
which fear of crime affected their productivity. However, to protect
the confidentiality of the respondents, the data on Capitol Hill
employees are not present in these files. The Capitol Hill employees
data are archived at the Research Triangle Institute and, as of
December 1984, a public-use data file did not exist. The three data
files archived at the ICPSR contain information about District of
Columbia residents only. The first data file includes person-level
data including residential mobility, crime prevention measures, and
sociodemographic characteristics such as race, age, income, and
location and duration of current residence. Each record in Part 2, In
Scope Crimes File, represents a reported criminal victimization. The
third data file, Out of Scope File, contains data on crimes that were
either outside the analysis time period of May 1, 1982, to April 30,
1983, or not crimes of interest for this study.
