Citizen Participation and Community Crime Prevention, 1979: Chicago Metropolitan Area Survey
This survey was conducted as part of the Citizen
Participation and Community Crime Prevention project at the Center for
Urban Affairs and Policy Research, Northwestern University. The
project was conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the wide range
of activities in which the American public engages to be secure from
crime. In particular, this survey was designed to identify the scope
of anti-crime activities and investigate the processes that facilitate
or inhibit the public's involvement in those activities. The
geographical area for the survey was defined by the "commuting
basin" of Chicago, excluding several independent cities and their
suburbs (e.g., Aurora, Waukegan, and Joliet) on the northern and
western fringes of that area, and excluding all areas in
Indiana. Interviewing was carried out by the Survey Research
Laboratory at the University of Illinois during June through August
1979. Information was gathered on people's opinions toward safety,
their involvement with crime prevention activities, and the quality of
life in their neighborhoods. In addition, data were assembled from
Census Bureau and police reports for each community area in which
respondents lived in the years immediately preceding the survey.
