This title was first published in 2000: This text reports on the
findings of the Communities Crime Survey, a communities-based
survey carried out within Northern Ireland. The survey asked a
number of questions beyond the usual remit of local crime surveys,
in order to explore more fully a whole range of issues relating to
the experience of living in a society where more obvious
manifestations of conflict are beginning to recede and other more
mundane but still important issues relating to crime and policing
are coming to the fore. The book aims to go behind the headlines of
violence and political conflict to examine how people in a range of
communities in Northern Ireland experience a whole range of factors
relating to crime, policing and the general experience of living
within their particular communities. The process of change is far
from over in Northern Ireland, and this book indicates how some of
the central issues that must be resolved are perceived by a range
of ordinary people in various urban and rural communities, in
religiously segregated and integrated communities and those with
different levels of income and social infrastructure. The
experiences and attitudes gathered are important in understanding
how the process of change and development in this society might be
advanced, and what lessons might be offered to elsewhere. The
survey ultimately concludes that Northern Ireland is neither a
homogeneous entity nor a society that is simply divided on
religious and/or political grounds. Rather it is a society that is
divided by religion and politics, but also by a number of other
variables, including geography, gender, age, socio-economic class
and ethnic origin, all of which in part influence people's
experiences and attitudes towards crime and policing.
