What are Victimization Surveys and How to Use Them? Professor Mike Hough ICPR, University of London Improvement of Civilian Oversight of Internal Security Sector Project - Phase II – Istanbul March 2013

What I’ll discuss Using surveys to improve civilian oversight Measuring victimisation, as experienced by citizens (eg ICVS) Measuring trust in justice, in the eyes of citizens (eg European Social Survey) – to be discussed by Dr Sato

The case for surveys in justice To be effective the police and the courts need public and trust and legitimacy So the police and the justice system must understand public experience and attitudes Surveys can provide this directly By speaking to representative samples Nationally or locally Most European countries now use surveys for justice policy

Some issues for surveys Different modes of surveying – Face to face (in the home) – Phone surveys – Internet Different types of sampling – Probability samples drawn from population lists – Quota samples Response rates Sample size, sampling error and precision

The case for victimisation surveys Police statistics can be a bad guide to crime Not all crimes are reported to police Not all reported crimes are recorded When the police are trusted, people will report crimes they have experienced When people distrust the police, they will be less likely to report crime And police recording rates vary So low recorded crime rates can mislead

How surveys of victimisation work “In the last twelve months, has anyone got into your house and stolen something?” “In the last twelve months, has anyone attacked you or hit you in any way?” “etc etc “Did you report this to the police?” Enables measures of: – Reported crime – Unreported crime – All crime

Surveys of victimisation US National Crime Victimisation Survey UK Crime Survey for England and Wales Netherlands Victimisation Survey France, Germany, Sweden……. International Crime Victimisation Survey (ICVS & EU-ICS)

ICVS, 2005 No correlation between recorded crime rates and victim survey rates between countries 40 countries – No clear correlation between development and crime rates – But rich industrialised countries record a high proportion of their crime – Ex-communist block countries record a low proportion
