This webinar will describe findings from a three-pronged testing effort designed by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to produce knowledge and findings toward improving survey participation and the measurement of victimization among youth ages 12 to 17 as part of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) Redesign Research and Development Program. Get highlights on– 

• the suitability for and comprehension of the redesigned instrument for youth 
• the alignment of survey responses between parents and youth
• feedback from youth and their parents on factors that would encourage or hinder NCVS participation.
