This supplement was a one-time survey administered in conjunction with the larger National Crime Surveys: National Sample during February 1984. The survey obtained data on respondents' lifestyles to determine whether certain lifestyles are related to crime victimization. Five questionnaires were used in the survey. The national sample consisted of approximately 72,000 sample housing units selected in a stratified multistage cluster sample from the 1,931 primary sampling units within counties or groups of counties. The data file is in a hierarchical format which corresponds to variations in household composition and in occurrence of victimization incidents. Data were processed according to the standard procedures of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research. Appendixes contain the industry code and occupational code classifications.
