Abstract: The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), in conjunction with the Census Bureau’s Demographic Surveys Division (DSD), requested that the Statistical Research Division (SRD) conduct cognitive pretesting for the addition of internet predation questions to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). These additional questions will collect data on any contacts with a sexual connotation that children between the ages of 12 and 17 years old might have from people they interact with only online. In October and November of 2006, SRD staff conducted cognitive interviews with 10 children between the ages of 12 and 17 from the Washington DC metropolitan area. We administered a paper mock-up of the automated instrument that included the individual respondent screening and employment sections of the full NCVS questionnaire (excluding follow-up questions for any reported victimization incidents), followed by the proposed Internet predation questions.
