The International Crime Victims Surveys: A retrospective
The International Crime Victims Survey (ICVS) has been carried out six times over the period 1989–2010. Although national and city samples are relatively small, the ICVS is a unique survey of the experience of being victimized in that it is standardized and far-reaching: it has been conducted in more than 80 countries in different regions of the world, with many countries having taken part more than once. This paper focuses not on the methodology…
L'évolution de la criminalité à travers deux décennies du british crime survey
Cet article traite des apports du British Crime Survey (BCS) à la compréhension des tendances de la criminalité en Angleterre et Galles. Il décrit les origines et le développement de l'enquête et résume ses aspects méthodologiques. Il présente les résultats importants sur les tendances de la délinquance depuis 1981 et décrit la contribution du BCS à l'explication tant de la direction de ces tendances que des facteurs en rendant compte. Les auteur…
Motorcycle Theft, Helmet Legislation and Displacement
Most current theory, which treats crime as an expression of psychological or social malaise, would hold that displacement of offending undermines the value of measures to reduce opportunities for crime. However, a drop of more than 60% in motorcycle thefts in the Federal Republic of Germany, brought about by the introduction in 1980 of fines for failing to wear a crash helmet, was not followed by increases in thefts of cars or bicycles. This may …
Crime as Opportunity a Note on Domestic Gas Suicide in Britain and the Netherlands
The marked decline of the suicide rate in England and Wales following detoxification of the domestic gas supply during the 1960s and 1970s has been used as evidence to support the case for preventing crime through reduction of criminal opportunities. The apparent absence of displacement to other methods of suicide has been regarded as especially significant. The present study investigates the seemingly lesser effect of detoxification on the overa…
The British Gas Suicide Story and Its Criminological Implications
Between 1963 and 1975 the annual number of suicides in England and Wales showed a sudden, unexpected decline from 5,714 to 3,693 at a time when suicide continued to increase in most other European countries. This appears to be the result of the progressive removal of carbon monoxide from the public gas supply. Accounting for more than 40 percent of suicides in 1963, suicide by domestic gas was all but eliminated by 1975. Few of those prevented fr…
Elderly Victims of Crime and Exposure to Risk
It has been debated for some time whether lower rates of personal victimisation among the elderly are due to the fact that ‐ because of fear or other reasons ‐ they shield themselves from situations in which they might be victimised. This ‘differential exposure’ explanation is examined using data from the 1982 British Crime Survey which provides risks for different age/ sex groups and detailed information about respondents' ‘lifestyles’. Looking …
