Seattle University survey seeks feedback on public safety concerns

The city’s annual survey seeking feedback on public safety concerns is live for four more days — the survey closes on Nov. 30.

Administered by Seattle University researchers, the survey is mean to solicit feedback from community members around security concerns. The areas measured in the survey are perceptions of police legitimacy, informal social control, social cohesion, fear of crime, social disorganization, and positive perceptions, according to Seattle U.

The unversity is conducting a two-year mixed method process evaluation of the Seattle Police Department’s Micro Community Policing Plans (MCPP). The survey data will be used together with focus groups to help shape the MCPP priorities and strategies.

Questions in the survey cover impressions of Seattle police officers, and whether their presence is adequate. They also ask whether participants have been victims of crime, from property to physical threats or attacks. All responses are confidential, and no personal information is requested of participants. The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete, and participants must be 18 or older.

The results from the 2018 survey showed that the top public safety concerns were lack of police capacity, car prowls, homeless encampments, residential burglary, and property crime. (Click here for the citywide 2018 survey results.)

    1. Yeah, it sounds like the only thing left to do is do nothing but complain and troll here on this blog. Job well done fighting for the cause!

  1. I remember writing my dissertation on public safety. I also did a survey for my paper and used help from https://uk.edubirdie.com/buy-dissertations as I needed a lot of data. According to the results of my survey, the main problem is that there was a lack of police capacity, with which I cannot but agree. Since in small towns and rural areas it’s a real struggle.

  2. I remember when I needed help with my dissertation and I didn’t even know where to go anymore, that no one would cheat and so on. Fortunately I was lucky and I found specialists in this case. I recommend just the same to check out the dissertation proofreading services and they will really help with this. I hope that it will be useful and you can learn more about what is of interest. Good luck!
