| Title: | British Crime Survey: 1984 dataset |
| Description: |
This dataset consists of data gathered in England and Wales in the 1984 British Crime Survey (BCS), a repeat of the first Survey conducted in 1982. The 1984 sweep was conducted by NOP Market Research Ltd (NOP), on behalf of the Home Office.
In accordance with usual BCS practice, the names and addresses of interviewees do not form part of the 1984 dataset, and would not have been transferred to the Home Office by the survey contractors. The dataset consists of anonymised data from interviews with the core sample. Most of the data consists of respondents' answers to the survey's questions. The survey was primarily intended to gather information on respondents' experiences of household and personal crimes from January 1983 up to date of the interview. The survey also sought - in the follow-up questionnaire - 'attitudinal material' about crime, seeking a general opinion of the local area; fear of crime and precautions taken; likelihood of crime occurring; event of incivilities in the area; seriousness of various crimes; attitudes towards punishment and prison reform; victim support schemes; neighbourhood watch schemes; and self-reported offending. The dataset is divided into 8 tables. |
