Abstract
I
n 2019, the rate of violent victimization
against persons with disabilities was nearly
four times the rate for persons without
disabilities (49.2 compared to 12.4 per 1,000
age 12 or older) (figure 1). Since July 2016, the
National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)
has asked all respondents their disability status,
allowing rates by disability status to be generated solely from NCVS data. See Methodology. Prior
to this, American Community Survey (ACS)
population data were used to calculate the rate
of violent victimization against persons with
disabilities, which was at least twice the rate for
persons without disabilities every year from 2009
to 2019.
