[USA] Easy Access to NIBRS: Victims of Domestic Violence [EZANIBRSDV] / NCJRS, 2 November 2007
http://ojjdp.ncjrs.gov/ojstatbb/ezanibrsdv/
"EZANIBRSDV allows users to analyse state-level data on victims of domestic violence based on information collected by the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). Users can explore the characteristics of domestic violence victims, including demographic information of the victim (age, sex, and race), victim injury, and the victim-offender relationship. Data are based on incidents reported in 2004 from law enforcement agencies in 24 states. Users should be aware of the fact that the NIBRS data capture an unknown portion of the domestic violence victims known to law enforcement within a State (ie. some agencies within a State do not report their information to the FBI)."
