The Government has set every force a target to raise public
confidence that the police and local council are dealing with the
anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter locally.
The proportion of people surveyed in each of the following areas
agree that the police and local council are dealing with the
anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in their
area.
| Area |
Proportion |
| Cheshire East |
61.00% |
| Cheshire West and Chester |
59.70% |
| Halton |
63.00% |
| Warrington |
62.30% |
| Cheshire as a whole |
61.10% |
These are the results of a telephone survey that was conducted
in these areas which asked local people whether they agree
that:
"The police and local council are dealing with anti-social
behaviour and crime issues that matter in this area."
Care should be taken in making comparisons in local indicators
that have used different survey techniques. The survey is based on
a random sample of people in the local area, with a booster quota
sample of 'top-up' responses. The use of a random sample with a
quota booster sample seeks to ensure the results are broadly
representative of the local population. Quota samples may, however,
inadvertently introduce unknown sources of statistical bias.
