Supplementary Volume 1 to Crime in England and Wales 2007/08
[homeoffice.gov.uk] This bulletin is the first in a series of supplementary volumes that accompany the main annual Home Office Statistical Bulletin, ‘Crime in England and Wales 2007/08’ (Kershaw et al., 2008). These supplementary volumes report on additional analysis not included in the main annual publication. Figures included in this bulletin are solely from the British Crime Survey (BCS), a large, ationally representative victimisation survey of approximately 47,000 adults living in private households in England and Wales.
Since 2001/02 the BCS has run continuously with interviewing being carried out throughout the year. Respondents are asked about their experiences of crime-related incidents in the 12 months prior to interview. BCS respondents are also asked about their attitudes towards different crime-related issues such as the police, criminal justice system, perceptions of crime and anti-social behaviour.
This bulletin presents findings from additional analyses on perceptions of anti-social behaviour based on the 2007/08 BCS.
