Description (What the record is about)
- This dataset consists of data gathered in England and Wales in the 1988 sweep of the British Crime Survey (BCS). The 1988 sweep was conducted by a consortium of Social and Community Planning Research (SCPR) and NOP Market Research Ltd (NOP), on behalf of the Research and Planning Unit of the Home Office. In accordance with usual BCS practice, the names and addresses of interviewees do not form part of the 1988 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 and the ethnic minority booster 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 1 January 1987 up to the date of the interview. Other areas of the survey had no reference period (e.g. questions on attitudes to crime), or different reference periods (e.g. questions on household fires in Follow Up Questionnaire version A covered the period from January 1983). 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 an incident had occurred). For some questions, interviewers had to record a response in the interviewee's own words. The original responses to these 'open ended' questions were not included in the dataset. The dataset consists of 9 tables.
