What do the surveys ask? Feelings of safety and security (personal, family and friends) Experiences of physical violence and harassment Reporting of the incidents Awareness of rights and support mechanisms Surveys cover perceptions and experiences Experiences of physical violence and harassment: personal, family/children, close friends -- asking about awareness of others being a victim Incidents motivated by hatred – in EU-MIDIS II – experiences perceived by respondents as being connected to their ‘ethnic or immigrant background’, in case of the Second Survey on Discrimination and Hate Crime against Jewish people: ‘because of being Jewish’ Cyber crime – online experiences, e.g. offensive, personal comments on the internet; offensive emails or text messages Frequency of violence / harassment motivated by hatred Respondents who experienced harassment motivated by hatred are asked about the perpetrator(s)’ characteristics (whether the perpetrator was someone from work, a police officer or a border guard, or somebody who they clearly identified as a member of a right-wing extremist/racist group); number of perpetrators. These results can help identify the context in which hate-motivated harassment most commonly occurs, which in turn can support developing more targeted policy responses on combating harassment, encouraging reporting and assisting victims. Reporting – LAST or MOST SERIOUS; reasons for non-reporting. EU-MIDIS II asked also about level of satisfaction when dealing with the complaint.
