This indicator refers to a person's perception of crime. Respondents of the Crime and Victimisation survey were asked to consider the period of 12 months prior to interview and to rate their response to a series of questions relating to the impact that crime has on their lives.

Respondents were asked about the extent to which they worry about being a victim of crime in relation to the following types of crime:

• Crimes that could result in physical harm or injury to them
• Crimes that could result in damage or loss of property belonging to them
• Crimes involving fraud or deception targeting their personal finances or data
• Crimes arising from their use of the internet (e.g. harassment or bullying, credit card fraud, hacking etc.)
