Victimization Survey redesign was implemented in 1993; the area with
the lighter shading is before the redesign and the darker area after
the redesign. The data before 1993 are adjusted to make them comparable
with data collected since the redesign. The adjustment methods are described
in Criminal Victimization
1973-95. Estimates for 1993 and beyond are based on
collection year while earlier estimates are based on data year. For
additional information about the methods used, see Criminal
Victimization 2003.
