Local Public Confidence Survey

The Government has set every force a target to raise public confidence that the police and local councils are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter locally.

The proportion of people surveyed in each of the following areas agree that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in their area.

These are the results of a telephone survey that was conducted in these areas which asked local people whether they agree that :

"The police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in this area".

Care should be taken in making comparisons in local indicators that have used different survey techniques.

The survey is based on a random survey of people in the local area.  The use of a random sample aims to ensure that the results are statistically representative of the local population.  Compared to other estimates of how the population is made up, the sample for this survey may under represent some subgroups.
