Perception of Safety
Assessing the feeling of safety was given priority in the survey. An attempt was made right from the fourth question in the questionnaire asking them how safe do the respondents feel in the community. According to our findings, in 2005, 50 percent of respondents felt safe in the community as compared to 48 percent who felt unsafe. We find almost the same proportions among those who felt very safe (16 percent) and very unsafe (18 percent).
In the 2006 study, 50 percent community members responded that they feel safe and 10 percent said they feel very much safe. Together they form 60 percent of the respondents – respondents who are in the “feeling safe” range. By comparison, in 2005 there were 50 percent respondents in this range.
In 2005: 41% were in the “feeling safe” range.
In 2006: 60% were in the “feeling safe” range in 2006.
In 2007: 83% are in the “feeling safe” range
