- The National Crime Victimization
Survey redesign was implemented in 1993; the area with the lighter shading
is before the redesign and the darker area after the redesign. The data
before 1993 are adjusted to make them comparable with data collected
since the redesign. The adjustment methods are described in Criminal
Victimization 1973-95. Estimates for 1993 and beyond
are based on collection year while earlier estimates are based on data
year. For
additional information about the methods used, see Criminal Victimization 2002.
