| Title: | British Crime Survey: 1992 dataset |
| Description: |
This dataset consists of data gathered in the 1992 sweep of the British Crime Survey (BCS). The 1992 sweep was conducted by a consortium of Social and Community Planning Research (SCPR) and the British Market Research Bureau (BMRB) on behalf of the Research and Planning Unit of the Home Office's Research and Statistics Department.
In accordance with usual BCS practice, the names and addresses of interviewees do not form part of the dataset, and would not have been transferred to the Home Office by the survey contractors. The dataset therefore consists of anonymised data derived from interviews with the core sample, the ethnic minority booster sample and the Young Person booster sample. Most of the information in the dataset consists of respondents' answers to survey questions. The focus of the survey was respondents' experiences of household and personal crimes from 1 January 1991 up to the date of the interview. Other aspects of the survey had different reference periods (e.g. questions relating to household fires covered the period from 1 January 1990) or no reference period (e.g. attitudinal questions). Interviews were conducted by SCPR and BMRB's interviewers in January-June 1992, with 93% being completed by the end of March 1992. Respondents' answers could take the form of yes/no answers, responses from a range of options, or the provision of a number (e.g. where respondents were asked the number of times that a type of incident had occurred). In some cases interviewers had to record a response in the interviewee's own words. Although the original responses to these"open-ended" questions are not included in the dataset. The dataset consists of 12 tables. |
