Assume that to get the data of a variable “direct victimization of crime” respondents will be asked below questions with yes/no options. After collecting the data from these items how can this data be assembled to measure a variable direct victimization of crime.
For the sake of question, I am here giving you the examples of questions which would be asked to measure direct victimization of crime, and options for answers are yes/no
Within the past year, were you or any family member a victim of the Stolen goods/belongings from car?
Within the past year, were you or any family member a victim of the vehicle theft?
Within the past year, were you or any family member a victim of the Burglary into house?
Within the past year, were you or any family member a victim of the mugging?
Within the past year, were you or any family member a victim of the fraud?
Within the past year, were you or any family member a victim of the Computer (internet) crimes?
And what if options are given in Likert scale rather than yes/no option.
Thanks and Regards
Dear Michelle
Thank you so much. Assume that Total received score is 30, Do i need to get mean of the total score of these items to measure the variable ' direct victimization of crime '?
