Documentation

Description:
The Telephone-operated Crime Survey for England and Wales (TCSEW) is a telephone victimisation survey, specifically designed to allow for measuring crime to continue during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic period while face-to-face interviewing is not possible. The face-to-face CSEW was suspended on 17 March 2020 as part of the efforts to minimise social contact and stop the spread of COVID-19. The TCSEW is a shortened telephone-operated version of the CSEW which asks people resident in households in England and Wales about their experiences of a selected range of offences in the 12 months prior to the interview, as well as a short module specific to the pandemic period relating to their perceptions of crime, the police, and anti-social behaviour. The sample design for the TCSEW differs from the CSEW as the TCSEW sample is drawn from respondents who had previously participated in the face-to-face CSEW in the last two years and who had agreed to being re-contacted for research purposes. To maximise the sample available, and assure its longevity, the TCSEW was designed to operate as a panel survey, re-interviewing respondents at three-monthly intervals. TCSEW estimates are not directly comparable with those previously published from the face-to-face CSEW. In the Non-Victim Form (NVF) each case refers to an individual respondent and includes victims and non-victims. Detailed information on the dataset structure is available in the associated metadata guide.
