Here's one I can answer. I added numbers CCCC so as not to have to repeat:
1)Yes
2)Yes
3)Yes
4) No
Actually you have a good idea here by including question 4) because what that seems to tease out is how much perception is coloured by personal experience of crime. I am a positive person not a cassandra like hand wringer but I know what I see even though I have personally not been a direct victim.
So my experience after 15 years fulltime living here comes from what I see & know, not from a victim's perspective which may take a while to bounce back.
If anything maybe a lot of long term residents have reduced posting on DR1 about crime because they now take it as a 'given'?
