Description (What the record is about)
- This dataset consists of data gathered in the 2000 British Crime Survey. The survey was conducted by a consortium of the National Centre for Social Research (NCSR) and the Social Survey Division of the Office for National Statistics, on behalf of the Crime and Criminal Justice Unit of the Home Office's Research Development and Statistics Directorate. 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 research contractors. The dataset therefore consists of anonymised data based on interviews with the core sample and the ethnic minority booster sample. Unlike the 1998 BCS but like previous BCS sweeps, the 2000 survey included a booster sample of Black and Asian respondents. Although the overall subject coverage was broadly the same as other BCS surveys, the 2000 BCS had a number of new questions, including questions which were designed to trial topics for a planned Home Office citizenship survey. Most of the information in the dataset consists of respondents' answers to survey questions. The focus of the survey was on respondents' experiences of household and personal crimes from 1 January 1999 up to the date of the interview. Other aspects of the survey had no reference period (e.g. attitudinal questions), or different reference periods (e.g. the Fires section covered fires in the respondent's home since 1 January 1998). 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 usually 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" variable (usually beginning with an 'X' in the Technical Report). Also in the category of"open-ended" responses were the descriptions which respondents who completed one or more Victim Form records were asked to supply, describing the incident in their own words. Similarly, in the Demographics section of the questionnaire, respondents were asked to describe their current or most recent 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 the respondent was not the head of household). For the most part, the original responses to"open-ended" questions were not transferred with the 2000 dataset, and are not included in the data. The dataset consists of 11 tables.
