A sample of about 20,000 living quarters has been selected scientifically from all living quarters in Hong Kong. The Census and Statistics Department has sent letters to the selected households notifying them of the survey.
From January 11 to 25, enumerators will visit the sampled households and interview all household members aged 12 or above to collect data on personal characteristics and any crimes which happened to them last year.
Household heads will also be asked to supply information on household characteristics and any criminal acts which affected the household.
During visits to households, all enumerators will each carry a card identifying them as staff for the survey and a certificate issued by the Census and Statistics Department authorising them to conduct the survey. Such identification documents will be available for inspection by the householders.
If household members have any queries about the survey or the identity of enumerators, please call the Census and Statistics Department at 2887 5569.
As the findings of the survey will be very useful to the Fight Crime Committee and the Police in evaluating the effectiveness of existing crime prevention and anti- crime measures and in devising new measures, the Commissioner for Census and Statistics appeals to all selected households for their co-operation in the survey.
