Victimization surveys are a recognized tool that help governments and citizens understand their crime problems and how to address them better.
This publication provides a comprehensive source of information for developing a national victimization survey. It is the first attempt to develop international methodological guidelines for the design of victimization surveys. Key issues are considered, such as the approach to take, the design of the questionnaire, the interviewing methods, and how to analyze and present the data.
The publication was prepared in collaboration with UNODC. It is available in English. Russian, French and Spanish versions will be available later in 2010.
