Presents data from the redesigned National Crime Victimization Survey, examining injuries as a result of violent victimizations. This report was a joint effort of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and BJS. It describes the nature and severity of injuries caused by rape, robbery, and aggravated and simple assault, comparing victims' injuries by characteristics of the victim and offender including relationship, age, sex, and race/ethnicity. The report also compares the likelihood of an injury from a violent crime by characteristics of the incident such as time of day, location, victim's activity, and the presence of weapons. The percentages of victims informing police and receiving medical care are also examined by severity of injury.
