Abstract
The survey focuses on experiences of digital crime victimization among the general public. It aims to estimate prevalence of computer crime victimization, its social distribution, the relationship between conventional and computer crime victimization, and individual development in victimization and its risk factors. This is the sixth wave of the questionnaire; wave 1 is administered in 2008, wave 2 in 2010, wave 3 in 2012, wave 4 in 2014 and wave 5 in 2016.
