Fear of Crime
Colchester Borough Council have launched a ‘Fear of Crime’ survey. They are keen to understand people’s feelings around public safety, and whether residents have either been a victim of, or fear becoming a victim of crime. Fear of Crime means different things to different people, this could include:
- not feeling safe in the community,
- fear of burglary, or
- possible violent or physical harm.
The survey takes about 10 minutes of your time to complete and will help them learn about experiences in the area. The survey is open until 19th September.
