European Safety Survey Implementation Plan 2013 Agenda

This presentation outlines the implementation plan for the European Safety Survey to be carried out in 2013. It covers the background, technical and methodological proposals, legal and financial aspects, as well as policy requirements and the EU Action Plan. The survey, named European Safety Survey (SASU), aims to collect data on various safety indicators such as prevalence of crimes, feelings of safety, security measures, and attitudes towards law enforcement, among others. It will be conducted every five years, with a focus on crimes affecting individuals and households. The sampling will be based on nationally representative probability samples, with recommendations for the implementation at the national level. The presentation also discusses the legal and financial aspects of the survey, including the EU's financial provisions and future support. Stakeholders are urged to provide feedback on the proposed steps for the survey's implementation.

  1. THE NEW EUROPEAN SAFETY SURVEY TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN 2013 AGENDA POINT 2.3

  2. Structure of the presentation • Background • Technical and methodological proposal • Legal and financial aspects • Conclusion

  3. 1. Policy background • EU Action Plan 2006-2010 endorsed in the 2009 Stockholm Programme  Establishment and implementation of a regular data collection for common indicators on safety from crime • Policy requirements: prevalence of different types of crime, feelings of safety, security measures adopted, satisfaction with the police, attitudes towards punishing offenders. • Most frequently mentioned crimes: theft, burglary, contact crimes, car-related crimes, and violence by intimates, fraud and bribery.

  4. 1. ESS background • ESS Committee (19 November 2009): agreed to develop an EP and Council Regulation for a new survey implemented in 2013 • Technical and methodological developments by a TF (2008-2010) together with the WG on crime and criminal justice • In close collaboration with a UN Group • Piloting • Consultants from Tilburg/Lausanne Universities

  5. 2. Technical and methodological proposal • Name of the survey: European Safety Survey (SASU) • Frequency: every five years (first implementation: 2nd semester of 2013) • Data collection period • Second semester of 2013 (possible derogation to first semester of 2013, or in 2012) • Micro-data (plus aggregated tables) sent to Eurostat before 31 October 2014

  6. 2. Technical and methodological proposal • Content: • Personal and household socio-economic information • Feelings of safety and worries about crime • Experience of crimes affecting the household, such as burglary and theft of vehicles • Experience of crimes of a personal nature, such as theft of personal property, bribery, and violence • Security measures taken • Attitudes to law enforcement

  7. 2. Technical and methodological proposal • Content: • Particular attention to the coverage of crimes of violence including sexual and non-sexual violence • Questions on violence are asked in a separate module • Sexual violence not compulsory for the first year of implementation (to be re-discussed for future implementation)

  8. 2. Technical and methodological proposal • Sampling • Based on nationally representative probability samples • Of individuals aged 16 and more living in private households • Sample size: • 8,000 individuals (population aged 16+ higher than 10 million) • 7,000 individuals (between 5 and 10 million) • 6,000 individuals (between 1.5 and 5 million) • 5,000 individuals (lower than 1.5 million)

  9. 2. Technical and methodological proposal • Implementation at national level: • Recommendation to implement a new survey • But possibility to use existing national surveys - countries with a national survey or involved in ICVS • Output harmonisation • Interviewing mode (CATI, CAPI, PAPI or a mixed-mode of interviewing) flexible • CATI recommended under conditions • Self-completion recommended for the section on sexual violence (face to face interviews)

  10. 3. Legal and financial aspects • European Safety Survey based on a legal basis: • Council and EP Regulation plus delegated acts for technical aspects (such as the variables) • Need to follow trends over time • repetition every five years from 2013 • Including EU financial provisions Commission contribution of €12 million for the execution of the first wave Financial support for future implementations in 2018 and beyond envisaged but committing budgetary resources over such a distant time horizon is difficult

  11. 4. Conclusion • The DSS are asked to: • Give views on the proposed further steps towards the implementation of the survey in 2013 • Agree to place the attached draft EP and Council Regulation on the agenda of the ESS Committee for November 2010, in accordance with the decision of the ESSC of November 2009
