Icvs: international established in 1989 with the ambition to establish a comparison in between countries. There"s a general decline of victimization since the 1990s, interesting because crime rates in different nations do not show the same pattern. Icvs managed to establish a very low reliability of crime rates.

Telescoping: placing the occurrence of the incident within the timeline of when it is being surveyed when it happened before hand. All sorts of factors that limit the validity.
