Description (What the record is about)
- This dataset consists of data gathered in the 1994 sweep of the British Crime Survey (BCS). The 1994 sweep was conducted by the Social Survey Division of the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (OPCS), 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 OPCS. The dataset supplied therefore consists of anonymised data derived from interviews with the core sample and the ethnic minority 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 1993 up to the date of the interview. Other aspects of the survey had different reference periods (e.g. questions relating to household fires, some of the questions relating to the purchase of stolen goods) or no reference period (e.g. attitudinal questions). Respondents' answers could take the form of yes/no answers, responses from a wider choice of options, or the selection of a number from within a defined range. In some cases interviewers had to record a response in the interviewee's own words; the fields and the questions relating to these responses are referred to as"open-ended". This was done in cases where a respondent's answer in a related field was coded as"other" by the interviewer. The actual response was then recorded verbatim in an"open-ended" field (in the dataset, this data is held in the OpenVictim and OpenNonVictim tables). Respondents who completed one or more Victim Forms were asked to describe the incident in their own words, and these descriptions - held in the DescVictim table in the dataset - were later used to classify offences (see below). Similarly, in the Demographics section of the questionnaire, respondents were asked to describe their current employment and employer in their own words, and to give similar descriptions relating to the employment or former employment of the head of household (if different from the respondent). These descriptions do not form part of the dataset. The dataset consists of 14 tables.
