Benchmark – Judges and the Ethical Supervision of Attorneys 2 Patterns of Victimization by Violence The government receives its crime statistics mostly from the Bureau of Justice Statistics. By conducting a comprehensive annual national crime victimization survey using data acquired, the Bureau of Justice Statistics keeps track of legal offenses by determining whether or not people aged twelve and above were victims of crimes in the previous six months. The advantage of this annual national crime victimization survey, according to Gramlich (2020), is that it compiles information on victimization and criminal activity that is both reported and unreported. It is significant to remember that the annual report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics has limitations. For example, not all categories of crimes falling within the purview of the Bureau of Justice Statistics are included in the annual report. This means that only violent and property crimes committed against the law are the focus of the Bureau of Justice Statistics' annual national crime victimization survey. Furthermore, the Bureau of Justice Statistics obtains its data after crimes involving victims have been committed. Because the victims are too dead to complete the surveys, these self-administered national crime victimization surveys are unable to give data on murders.

Benchmark – Judges and the Ethical Supervision of Attorneys 3 Furthermore, the conclusion drawn about patterns of violent victimization is that all the data was designed to be completed by victims without the investigator's intervention. The National Criminal Victimization Survey, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) in 2020, collects data on non-fatal crimes such as robbery, property theft, and forced sexual assault. For instance, a study from two thousand and nineteen indicated that, among those twelve years of age and over, twenty-one percent of violent victimization decreased. This indicates that data gathered from the victims include personally identifying information like sex, age, and race. Additionally, information about the offender's characteristics, the date, time, and location of the incident, and a description of the type of crime committed, are gathered from the victims via the national crime victimization survey.ey. Put another way, victims are given the chance to reveal whether they reported the crime against them and the reasons behind their actions. It's crucial to remember that self-administered surveys aim to identify, within a sizable community, those who have fallen victim to illegal activity. Because of this, we can presume that the victim and their victimization experience are the primary focus of the national crime victimization survey. Assume, therefore, that the validity may not be entirely accurate as well, given the majority of self-administered surveys are completed at the convenience of the victims. Cross-National Comparisons

Benchmark – Judges and the Ethical Supervision of Attorneys 4 Report on Cross-National Comparisons In addition, using data from the International Crimes Victims Survey, the analysis in the Cross-National Studies in Crime and Justice aims to show how frequently robberies, assaults, car thefts, and rapes occur in eight different nations: Australia, Canada, England, the Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States of America between 1981 and 1999 (Farrington et al., 2004). Trends discovered in victim surveys served as the independent variable. The changes in the decline in crime rates for the four offenses were the analysis's dependent variable. The heightened fear of punishment among criminals was discovered to be the mediator variable. The independent variable was also changed. An estimated 320 thousand people (about half the population of Wyoming) took part in the International Crime Survey. Through in-depth interviews with victims, this survey estimated the amount of victimization that occurred in the eight countries of Australia, Canada, England, the Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States of America. The questionnaire asked about any past experiences the respondents or members of their family may have had with robbery, physical assault, auto theft, and rape. For example, one frequently used question to find out if respondents had experienced auto theft was, "Have you broken into your car in the last three months?" In order to assess firsthand accounts, such as documenting rape cases, respondents also submitted inquiries aimed at identifying instances of sexual assault. Stated differently, the researchers found that victimization trends on the frequency of auto theft,
