Perceptions of Crime: Findings from the 2010/11 Northern Ireland Crime Survey

Further Information

In addition to describing respondents’ perceptions of causes of crime, recent changes in crime levels and the extent of anti-social behaviour in the local area, the bulletin illustrates three commonly used measures of concern about crime:

worry about crime and personal safety;
perceptions of the risk of victimisation; and
perceptions of the effect of ‘fear of crime’ on quality of life.
