Survey commissioned by Islington LB which is the first major
victimization study of crime and policing in a British inner
city. Based on 2,000 door to door interviews the survey gives
information and opinions on public relations with, and
perceptions of, the police and on crimes such as burglary,
street robbery, sexual assault racist attacks and domestic
violence. Gives certain policy recommendations concerning the
role of the police. For instance, argues that the police should
spend more time on high public priorities (such as burglary and
sexual assault) and less on low public priorities (such as
prostitution and cannabis possession); the police should
concentrate on crime control, non crime related duties to be
devolved to other authorities; and there should be a curb on
99stop and search.
