Metadata
| Relevance/rationale of the indicator (resp. why the indicator was chosen to measure the target and how it is suitable for these purposes) | Perception of safety affects the way in which human beings interact with their surroundings, their health, and consequently, their quality of life. Fear of crime is an important indicator in itself as high levels of fear can negatively influence well-being and lead to reduced contacts with the public, reduced trust and engagement in the community, and thus represent an obstacle to development. Fear of crime also differs across demographic groups and this indicator helps to identify vulnerable groups. |

| Comment | The proportion of men and women in each survey is approximately 50:50. For the years 2005, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022 and 2023 the result is not statistically significant (p > 0,05). The result is not statistically significant in 2017, 2021, 2022 and 2023 for values disaggregated by age (p> 0,05). Asked question: "Please tell me, do you feel safe a) in our republic in general, b) in your place of residence?" The indicator evaluates the population 18+, does not define the activity (walking/stroll/other), does not evaluate whether the individual is alone, or whether it is after dark. The number of respondents (N) for the years: 2005 = 964; 2006 = 1,025; 2007 = 1,012; 2008 = 1,094; 2009 = 1,023; 2010 = 980; 2012 = 998; 2013 = 941; 2014 = 1,043; 2015 = 1,003; 2016 = 977; 2017 = 996; 2018 = 1,080; 2019 = 991; 2021 = 921; 2022 = 901, 2023 = 865, 2024 =1187. Data are not available for the years 2011 and 2020, as the question was not asked in the respective surveys. From 2024, the methodology changes. Data collection has changed from a quota-based face-to-face survey to a probabilistic online panel of respondents in the Our Society Panel project. |
