Objective
The proposed project develops the measurement tool of measuring the volume and nature of volume crime in Europe. In order to build a sound knowledge-base on crime trends in Europe and to provide the tools for evidence-based policy research related to the basic security of European citizens, survey-based comparative measurement of large sample of the European public is needed.
This consortium is combining leading research centres with a proven track record on the data collection side. Each consortium member has been working on previous projects of collecting, analyzing and evaluating policy options based on comparative surveys of crime.
The project will critically revise the International Crime Victims Survey all members of consortium have participated in previously, and develop a revised instrument, the International Crime Survey, that address the need of the new European needs for comparative data for policy-makers. The project will also develop the new European Survey of Crime and Safety as a global standard instrument.
One member of the consortium (UNODC) brings to the project a real possibility that the project could be augmented from the first phase of the present member countries, to bring in extra resources to possibly cover not only the candidate countries, but also mobilizing third party resources to enrich the policy analysis potential of the European data by being able to compare it globally.
The project in addition to solving basic measurement issues, and providing to the community of stake-holders the possibility of up-to-date information, promises to provide current data to the changing concerns of safety and security of the European public as well.
The Steering Committee of the project will add greatly to the value of the data by mobilizing resources for the analysis of the data as well. The data will be available through various innovative web tools to the wider research community.
