Crime Survey (2007)

Perceptions of crime within a locality does not always mirror reality. Fear of crime can be influenced by neighbours, friends, and messages portrayed in the media. These factors, and others, can also influence people’s perceptions of levels of crime. If people feel crime levels have increased than their fear of crime is also likely to be higher. We would like to hear of experiences and views on crime and anti-social behaviour. Please fill in the survey as fully as you possible.
