Surveying Crime in the 21st Century: Commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the British Crime Survey (Crime Prevention Studies) - Softcover
Synopsis
Since its first sweep in 1982, the British Crime Survey, and its counterparts in the U.S. and other nations, have become invaluable sources of data for research and policy development. Chapters in this volume by a distinguished international group of scholars describe key findings of national crime surveys in a variety of research and policy areas.Though national crime surveys have made substantial contributions to knowledge, according to the authors these surveys must adapt to changing circumstances if they are to continue to be of value. Future directions include continuing to incorporate new technology in samples and survey designs; broadening the focus beyond normal crimes and individual victims; and producing better measures of crimes such as fraud, organized crime activities, corruption and Internet-facilitated crimes.
