Community Confidence Action Research – Irvine Fullarton Evaluation Survey 16 and Over
To gain insights into the impact of Police Scotland’s initiatives in Irvine Fullarton from those aged 16 and over, the Scottish Police Authority and Police Scotland designed a survey to gather views on these initiatives and views on confidence in policing (mirroring the questions asked in Feb-March 2022). Hosted on the Scottish Police Authority’s Citizen Space site, the survey contained 15 questions and ran from 31st October 2023 to 27th November 2023. In total 23 responses were received.
The majority of respondents lived in the Irvine Fullarton area (70%, n=16). The highest proportion of respondents were aged 35-44 (35%, n=8) and the lowest aged 16-24, 65+, or ‘prefer not to say’ (all 9%, n=2). The sample is predominantly female at 74% (n=17), and the majority had no contact with police in the six months prior to survey (83%, n=19). It should be noted that in comparison to the initial survey carried out in Spring, a slightly higher proportion had had contact (30%, n=12) - in Feb-March 2023 compared to 17% (n=4) in Oct-Nov 2022.
