[Expand]High level of worry about violent crimeThe measure for worry about violent crime is based on a scale constructed from questions on worry about mugging, rape, physical attack by a stranger and racially motivated assault. It uses a scale which scores answers to the questions as follows: ‘very worried’ = 2; ‘fairly worried’ = 1; ‘not very worried’ and ‘not at all worried’ = 0. Once results from the four questions are combined, the scale ranges from 0 to 8. The percentage for this component is based on respondents who score 4 or more on this scale.17141111111212

[Expand]High level of worry about car crimeThe measure for worry about car crime is based on two questions on worry about ‘having your car stolen’ and ‘having things stolen from your car’.

Scores for individual respondents are calculated by summing the scores across each question, these ranging from 0 to 4.
