Summary: The NZCVS is the most comprehensive source of data on adult (aged 15 and older) victims of crime in Aotearoa New Zealand. Because only about 25 per cent of crime is reported to police, the NZCVS provides the only data on the true nature and volume of crime in New Zealand.The survey also provides rich information on the experiences of victims of crime, and how they were affected.Since it was established in 2017, the NZCVS has dramatically increased knowledge and understanding of crime and victimisation and is widely used by key government agencies and Non-Government organisations to support better policies and interventions. While this Cycle 3report is consistent with two previous NZCVS key findings reports, for the first time, we are able to compare the data over the three years representing around 23,500 interviews with New Zealanders about their experiences of crime. This allows us to analyse changes in the levels of crime and victimisation since the beginning of the NZCVS data collection in March 2018. To be more succinct and user-friendly, this report is focussed on significant findings and trends which may inform policy development and strategic decisions in the Justice Sector. More information is available from statistical data tables supporting the report. Additionally, pooling the sample from all three years makes possible a richer analysis covering experiences of victims in smaller population groups. For example, this report reveals new information about victimisation of people with disability.This report also covers many new topics not previously reported, including a deeper dive into the regional distribution of victimisation. Other new topics include the location where victimisations took place, the level of crime perpetrated by males against females and the amount of time victims took off work as a consequence of their experience. A new section also covers how safe New Zealand adults feel in general and how safe they feel when they are with their families and whānau. Last but not least, this cycle of the NZCVS was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although comprehensive assessment of the influence of COVID-19 on victimisation requires specially organised research, in this report we provide an initial analysis.This analysis is focussed on changes in burglaries before and after the national lockdown in March–April 2020. (From the Executive summary).
