Public Perception
For
the past three years, Oxford City Council's Annual Community Safety Talkback survey has included a question about how
much respondents agree or disagree that the police and local council are dealing with anti-social behaviour and crime issues
that matter in their area.
By taking the result of the survey and adding the number of people who responded
'strongly agree' and 'tend to agree', we can gauge the public perception of the police and Oxford City Council's
performance when it comes to dealing with crime and ASB. The score for Oxford was 41.6% in 2009, and 50.2% in
2010, which showed an increase in public confidence. The results for 2008, 2009 and 2010 are shown in the chart below.
The most recent Community Safety Talkback survey took place at the end of 2011 and results will be added to this website
when they are available.
