The Minnesota
Statistical Analysis Center has completed seven statewide crime victimization
surveys over the past 25 years, with the most recent survey completed in 2016. These surveys measure experiences with crime, perceptions of
neighborhood safety, and attitudes toward police among representative samples of adults in Minnesota. Because Minnesota has not yet completed implementation of an
incident-based crime reporting system, these surveys are important
for understanding the experiences and characteristics of crime victims,
providing information on crimes not reported to police, providing information
not contained in official police records, and assessing crime trends. All seven completed surveys are posted in the links below:
