Description (What the record is about)
- This dataset consists of data gathered in the 2001 British Crime Survey. The survey was conducted by BMRB (British Market Research Bureau) Social Research International on behalf of the Crime and Criminal Justice Unit of the Home Office's Research Development and Statistics Directorate. By 2001 the British Crime Survey (BCS) was a well-established study, one of the largest social research surveys conducted in England and Wales. In 2001 the BCS moved to an annual cycle, with a target sample of 40,000 households in England and Wales, consisting of a representative cross-section of 37,000 households and a special booster sample of 3,000 non-white adults. Significant changes were made to the design of the 2001 British Crime Survey compared with previous sweeps. The two main changes introduced in 2001 were an increase in the sample size, and a move towards continuous sampling fieldwork with a different reference period from that used on previous sweeps. However, to allow comparison of the old and new methodology, a spliced design was proposed. Accordingly, a spliced design was used during the first six months of 2001. About half of those interviewed were sampled using the old BCS methodology and the traditional recall period (Type A interviews), and half were sampled using the continuous sampling design and new recall period (Type B interviews). Results in this dataset relate to the Type A sample that replicates the old BCS design, and are based on 8,985 respondents As usual, the names and addresses of interviewees do not form part of the 2001 BCS dataset, and would not have been transferred to the Home Office by the research contractors. Considerable emphasis was given in the course of conducting the interview to assure sample members that their information was provided in confidence. For this reason, the dataset does not identify the location of the sampled areas (postcode sectors) and this information is likewise not released to the Home Office by the research contractors. In the dataset, the data for each interview is spread between tables which broadly correspond to the sections of the electronic questionnaire. The dataset consists of 15 tables.
