Answer:

National Crime Victimization Survey collects data measuring the types and amount of crime involving people aged 12 or older.

Step-by-step explanation:

National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) collects information on nonfatal personal crimes such as crimes in schools, contacts with law enforcement, identity theft, etc. The survey has been ongoing since 1973. Some of the main objectives of NCVS are :

1) to develop detailed information about the victims and consequences of crime.

(2) to estimate the number and types of crimes not reported to the police

Hence National Crime Victimization Survey collects data measuring the types and amount of crime involving people aged 12 or older.
