We’re from the Institute of Criminology, Victoria University of Wellington. This research aims to understand our growing reliance on private security for protection against burglary and other crime and what this can tell us about perceptions of crime and policing and the changing ways we manage the risks of crime.
Neighbourly was chosen because of the keen interest of its members in ‘Crime and Safety’ and we hope this will translate into lots of Neighbourly members taking part and making a contribution. For much more detail about the project please read the PDF. We really appreciate your participation, thank-you.
