§ Ms Janet AndersonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give details of police forces which have conducted a fear of crime survey in accordance with the Home Office guidelines, together with the results of such surveys. [37523]
§ Mr. MacleanI regret that this information is not held centrally and is available only at disproportionate cost. However, the Home Office monitors fear of crime in England and Wales through its biennial British crime survey. The results are published regularly and provide a national benchmark against which the findings of local surveys can be compared.
