The National Crime Survey Working Papers, Volume 1: Current and Historical
Perspectives.
This volume presents selections pertaining to the objectives of the National Crime Survey and its design, the
early methodological and organizational steps establishing the design, conceptual issues associated with
measuring victimization, and examples of problems and prospects for using National Crime Survey data.
They all were unpublished memos and internal Census Bureau reports which were specially edited and
reformatted for this compendium, in order to preserve the corpus of methodological work that lay the
foundation for the National Crime Victimization Survey. There are reports of the Baltimore, Washington, DC,
San Jose and Dayton field tests of recall issues, early comparisons of NCS and UCR findings, and
discussions of conceptual issues in the calculation of crime rates. The authors include some of the pioneers
of victimization research: Albert Biderman, Richard Dodge, Linda Murphy, Anthony Turner, Carol Kalish, Anne
Schneider, Richard Sparks (the elder) and Stephen Fienberg.

The National Crime Survey Working Papers, Volume 2: Methodological Studies.
This volume presents a series of technical papers on methodological issues associated with the survey. The
topics include the issues of series victimization, memory failure, recall bias, screener design, classification of
victimization events, sample design and coverage problems, bounding and telescoping, rotating sample
designs, panel bias, time-in-sample issues, response effects, and consequences of telephone versus
in-person interviewing. The chapters all were unpublished memos and internal Census Bureau reports
which were specially edited and reformatted for this compendium, in order to preserve the corpus of
methodological work that lay the foundation for the National Crime Victimization Survey. The authors include
numerous pioneers of methodological research on victimization: Albert Biderman, Richard Dodge, Linda
Murphy, Anthony Turner, Carol Kalish, Harold Lentzner, Albert J. Reiss, Henry Woltman, John Bushery, Dorcas
Graham, Charles Cowan, Lawrence Love, Larry Carstensen, David Batman and Masato Asanuma.
