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".



A further question asked in the survey was, "To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement?  Taking everything into account, I have confidence in the police in this area".

The proportion of people surveyed who agree that, taking everything into account, they have confidence in the police in their area, is shown below.

Care should be taken in making comparisons in local indicators that have used different survey techniques. The survey is based on a random sample of people in the local area, with a booster quota sample of "top-up" responses. The use of a random sample with a quota booster sample seeks to ensure the results are broadly representative of the local population. Quota samples may, however, inadvertently introduce unknown sources of statistical bias.
