The Government has set every force a target to raise public confidence that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter locally.

The proportion of people surveyed in each of the following areas agree that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in their area.

These are the results of a telephone survey that was conducted in these areas which asked local people whether they agree that:

“The police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and
crime issues that matter in this area”.

Care should be taken in making comparisons in local indicators that have
used different survey techniques.

*The survey is based on a quota sample of people in the local area. The use
of a quota sample seeks to ensure the results are broadly representative of
the local population. Quota samples may inadvertently introduce unknown
sources of statistical bias.
