Ipsos Scotland was commissioned by the Scottish Government to conduct a survey to explore public perceptions of organised crime in Scotland. A module of questions was included in the spring wave of the Ipsos Scottish Public Opinion Monitor. The survey module included questions on a range of issues related to public perceptions and experience of organised crime, namely:
- awareness of organised crime
- experience of organised crime
- the extent of organised crime
- the effect of organised crime
- responsibility for tackling organised crime
- perceived effectiveness of the police in tackling organised crime
- reporting organised crime
Technical details:
- Results are based on a survey of 1,001 respondents (adults aged 18+) conducted by telephone
- Fieldwork dates: 29th April – 5th May 2013
- Data are weight by: age, sex and working status using census data; tenure using SHS data; and public-private sector employment using Scottish Government Quarterly Public Sector Employment series data
- Where results do not sum to 100%, this may be due to computer rounding, multiple responses, or the exclusion of “don’t know” categories
- Results are based on all respondents (1,001) unless otherwise stated
