Weakness of BCS

The imposition problem may occur as not all crimes are in the survey.  Therefore crimes without an obvious victim will not be covered. There is no obvious victim from drug dealing and for white collar crimes the victim not realize they have experienced a crime.  The data is only as good as the questions asked. (validity)

Weaknesses Charlie M

Respondents may lie as it is about crime they may not want to admit to being part of a crime. This makes data less valid as some crimes may go non recorded. Respondents may conceal the extent of their actions due to not trusting the interviewer or to impress their friends.

Three different kinds of surveys;

•computer assisted self interviewing
•audio computer self interviewing
•computer assisted personal interviewing

This is a strength because there will be a higher response rate as these options fit the needs of people who may have disabilities and also allows respondents to not be influenced by the researcher

Self report studies are often assumed to provide data lacking in validity . They may not trust the interviewer and the stated purpose of the survey and the admitting the crime will lead to punishment.

Weakness- British crime survey
Face to Face interviewes about crime.. as this is a sensitive topic, people are more likely to lie as it is not anonymous. Therefore this will be invalid data.

The CSEW is useful for tracking changes in patterns of crime over many years because the main structure has remained quite constant.

The BCS looks at the 'dark figure' as well as just police recorded crimes so it gives a better picture of the true extent of crime. Because the survey uses face-face interviews people feel more comfortable and give more truthful answers and allows people to talk about there experiences with crime

Anonymity means people are more likely to be honest as not going to be punished by the police or identified by the individual who victimised them.

You only get the data that you need, meaning your data will be concise and relevant to the question.
In OCJS, their statistics show that most offences are committed by young people, showing that their question got the exact data that was needed.  If they asked about different crimes they may have found them to be less criminal. #imposition problem

Self respondent surveys are not
always valid because people would be likely
to lie about the crime which can affect the validity of the data. Only have the word of the person to go on.
