- AC1.6- Crime survey for England and Wales (CSEW)
- definition: to measure the level of crime being committed against people from a household environment
- how is the data collected: a victim survey
- compare: lack of parity (equalness)
- CSEW: Crime policies can be created with the victim in mind as the reports are from the victims themselves
- CSEW: unreliable/ relies on victims memory, them telling the truth, victimless crimes arent included so inaccurate crime rates
- strengths:
- ethics: survey is confidential so victim will be anonymous which will make them more comfortable and likely to come forward
- validity: victims first hand account no influence from anyone else including the police
- reliability: surveys a large group of people, standardised procedures that are the same in both england and wales
- limitations:
- ethics: victims may worry that it wont stay confidential so wont come forward
- validity: victims could over exaggerate and results could be biased and one -sided
- reliability: not sent to every member of public so sample isnt representative of every social group
