Special Eurobarometer 181: Public saftey, exposure to drug-related problems and crime

This survey was carried out for the European Commission by the European Opinion Research Group, a consortium of Market and Public Opinion Research agencies comprising INRA in Belgium - ICO and GfK Worldwide between 1 September and 7 October 2002. Previous surveys covering some of the same questions were carried out in Autumn 1996 (Eurobarometer 44.31) and in Autumn 2000 (Eurobarometer 54.1). Some of the questions used in this survey were originally designed to resemble similar questions in the International Crime Victims Survey (ICVS). However, the focus of the two surveys is distinct, as Eurobarometer is designed to study public opinion in general, while the ICVS has a narrower focus. Further, due to methodological differences and the relatively small sample sizes in each, comparisons of the results of the two surveys should be made with caution. The Eurobarometer surveys were coordinated at the request of DG JAI by PRESS/B1 (Public Opinion Analysis Sector) of DG PRESS. #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
