THE Neighbourhood Watch 2022 Crime and Community Survey has been launched.

A Neighbourhood Watch spokesperson said: ‘We are delighted to invite you to take part in our annual Crime and Community survey.

‘The survey is in its third year running, and we want to hear your views on crime, community, and your experience of Neighbourhood Watch.

‘The survey is open to everyone across England and Wales, regardless of whether you are a Neighbourhood Watch member or not.’

All responses will be anonymised and aggregated, and everyone who completes the five to 10 minute survey can choose to opt-in to the prize draw to win one of four £25 Amazon vouchers.

‘The results will enable us as a charity to better understand crime and fear of crime, benchmark whether membership in a Neighbourhood Watch scheme or living in a Neighbourhood Watch area impacts crime levels, neighbourliness, and the willingness of communities to work together,’ added the spokesperson.

‘This information is vitally important to ensure we can better target our work to meet your crime and community needs and concerns.’
