The First National Juvenile Online Victimization Incidence Study (N-JOV-1)

Published by National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Metadata Last Checked: September 06, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-05
Eighty-eight percent of the agencies (n = 2,270) that received mail surveys responded. Seventeen percent of the agencies (n = 383) that responded reported 1,723 arrests. Interviews were conducted on all eligible cases that had identified victims or came from agencies reporting three or fewer cases. When agencies reported four or more cases, a random sample of cases was selected for interviews. A total of 612 unique interviews were completed. Data was weighted to estimate annual numbers of arrests. The procedure took into account sampling procedures and non-response, allowing use of the data to project estimated annual arrest totals with 95% confidence that the accurate number would fall within a specific range.
