Week Four - Local Victimisation Surveys

Question 1

What are some examples of Local Victimisation Surveys?

Answer 1

Merseyside Crime Survey (1984)

Islington Crime Survey

most people’s attitudes toward crime in line with their experiences (except older white people)

International Crime Victim Survey (ICVS)
Leicester Hate Crime Project
