Incidence Rate of Reported Crime Victimizations per 100 Volunteer-Trainee Years, 2015

DEFINITIONS

Crime victimization is a count of how many times, collectively, Peace Corps Volunteers/trainees became victims of crime. If one person was a victim in three crime inci-dents, it counts as three victimizations. If three people were victims in one crime incident, it also counts as three victimizations.

The incidence rate is the number of reported victimizations per population at risk adjusted for the length of stay in a given time period. Volunteer-trainee years are thenumber of Volunteers and trainees adjusted for the length of service of each Volunteer during the year. If one Volunteer served for the entire 12 months of the year, thisVolunteer is counted as one Volunteer-trainee year. If two Volunteers served six months each, these two Volunteers are counted as one Volunteer-trainee year. If 12 Vol-unteers served one month each, these Volunteers are counted as one Volunteer-trainee year.

For the purposes of this report, homicide, kidnapping, rape, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated physicalassault are classified as serious crime.

Stalking is an aggregate of multiple incidents and/or events that occur to a Volunteer or trainee and is not part of the classification hierarchy. Any incident of any classifi-cation level can be linked to a report of stalking.

Incidence Rate of Reported Crime Victimizations per 100 Volunteer-Trainee Years, 2015

DEFINITIONS

Crime victimization is a count of how many times, collectively, Peace Corps Volunteers/trainees became victims of crime. If one person was a victim in three crime inci-dents, it counts as three victimizations. If three people were victims in one crime incident, it also counts as three victimizations.

Crime victimizations are ranked on a hierarchy ranging from vandalism (least severe) to the death of a Volunteer (most severe). The Peace Corps uses a hierarchy rule inclassifying reports, similar to that used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in its Uniform Crime Reporting system.

The incidence rate is the number of reported victimizations per population at risk adjusted for the length of stay in a given time period. Volunteer-trainee years are thenumber of Volunteers and trainees adjusted for the length of service of each Volunteer during the year. If one Volunteer served for the entire 12 months of the year, thisVolunteer is counted as one Volunteer-trainee year. If two Volunteers served six months each, these two Volunteers are counted as one Volunteer-trainee year. If 12 Vol-unteers served one month each, these Volunteers are counted as one Volunteer-trainee year.

Incidence Rate of Reported Crime Victimizations per 100 Volunteer-Trainee Years, 2015

DEFINITIONS

Crime victimization is a count of how many times, collectively, Peace Corps Volunteers/trainees became victims of crime. If one person was a victim in three crime inci-dents, it counts as three victimizations. If three people were victims in one crime incident, it also counts as three victimizations.

The incidence rate is the number of reported victimizations per population at risk adjusted for the length of stay in a given time period. Volunteer-trainee years are thenumber of Volunteers and trainees adjusted for the length of service of each Volunteer during the year. If one Volunteer served for the entire 12 months of the year, thisVolunteer is counted as one Volunteer-trainee year. If two Volunteers served six months each, these two Volunteers are counted as one Volunteer-trainee year. If 12 Vol-unteers served one month each, these Volunteers are counted as one Volunteer-trainee year.
