Evaluating Network Sampling in Victimization Surveys in Peoria, Illinois, 1986
This data collection evaluates the advantages of network
sampling over traditional methods in conducting crime and victimization
surveys. Network sampling links population households in specified
ways, for reporting purposes, in order to increase the likelihood of
locating households with particular characteristics. The investigators
conducted a reverse record check survey of victims and a network survey
with a random sample of the victims' relatives and close friends. The
researchers compared the extent to which crime victims reported their
victimization experiences in a general crime and victimization
interview and the extent to which a randomly selected relative or close
friend of each victim reported the same victimization in the same type
of interview. In addition, they examined whether significant reporting
differences were evident by type of crime and by various demographic
variables.
