Victims of Violent Crime in Europe

Sexe and Age Patterns of Victims of Violent Crime in France According to the National Victimisation Survey “cadre de Vie et Sécurité” (2007-2012)

Cyril Rizk, from the Institut National des Hautes de la Sécurité et de la Justice, made a contribution to the 2012 Annual Conference of the European Society of Criminology, in the category “Victims and Victimization,” under the title “Sexe and Age Patterns of Victims of Violent Crime in France According to the National Victimisation Survey “cadre de Vie et Sécurité” (2007-2012)”. Here is the abstract: In 2012, for the 6th consecutive year, a national victimisation survey has been conducted by INSEE, France's National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, and ONDRP, French National supervisory body on crime and punishment. Called “Cadre de vie et sécurité”, i.e. “Living environment and security”, the survey is fielded on a yearly sample averaging 17 000 respondents aged 14 and over living in metropolitan France. They answer questions about robbery and non domestic violence. Among them, an average of 13 000 respondents aged 18 to 75 answer questions about sexual violence and domestic violence. The aim of the study is to compare victimisation rates for each type of violent crimes by sexe and age groups. Controlling the effect of those 2 factors all things being equal, we will estimate the odds ratio of having suffered violent crimes by sex or groups of age with reference categories. It will help defining some of the populations most at risk of becoming victim of violence.
