What are the similarities and differences between international victimization studies and national victimization studies? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

What will be an ideal response?


International victimization studies utilize randomized samples from several countries that are representative of populations from which they are taken. The International Criminal Victimization Survey (ICVS) and the International Self Report Delinquency Study (ISRD) are examples of international victimization studies that we will discuss in this. International victimization studies allow for comparisons across countries to be made. National victimization surveys are similar to international victimization studies in that they, too, utilize representative random samples, however a national victimization survey collects data in only one country. Such surveys are conducted in many countries annually, including Andalusia (Spain), Australia, England and Wales, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States.
