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.
What will be an ideal response?
The United Nations created a Handbook on Justice that is used to help guide the
creation of victim service programs. It also aided in establishing policies for workers in
the justice system that come into contact with victims. These policies are victim
sensitive to ensure the well-being of everyone affected by crime. Workers that these
policies target include anyone in the court system, law enforcement, doctors, prison
personnel, and even members of the clergy.
