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.

Area	Proportion

These are the results of a telephone survey that was conducted in these areas between August 2009 and January 2010 which asked local people whether they agree that:

'The police and local council are dealing with the 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 survey of people in the local area. The use of a random sample aims to ensure the results are statistically representative of the local population. Compared to other estimates of how the population is made up, the sample for this survey may under represent some subgroups.
