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% of crime is reported to the 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-governmental organisations to support better policy development and interventions.
Because of the consistent methodology used by the NZCVS across all four cycles, we are now able to compare four years of data representing almost 30,000 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
with higher accuracy.
This report is focused 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 four years makes possible a richer analysis covering experiences of victims in smaller population groups. For example, this report reveals deeper information about the victimisation of disabled people.
While this report mostly replicates the structure of the previous annual report, some topics are significantly extended. In particular, a deeper dive into perceptions of safety and their
association with victimisation is provided, and for the first time data related to controlling and coercive behaviour is described – a response to new questions introduced in Cycle 4. Finally,
a high-level comparative analysis of victimisation before and during the COVID-19 pandemic is performed. (From the executive summary).
