Section 1: Community Confidence Action Research – Letham Survey
As part of the Community Confidence Action Research Project, the Scottish Police Authority and Police Scotland designed a survey to gather views on community and policing in Letham. Hosted on the Scottish Police Authority’s Citizen Space, the survey contained 16 questions and ran from 20th September – 15th November 2022. In total 58 responses were received, but one excluded due to the respondent being based in Letham in Angus. This results in a final total of 57 respondents.
Table 1 shows that the majority of respondents lived in the Letham area (75%, n=43). Three respondents who submitted paper responses selected more than one reason (live in the area and also works, live in the area and has family/friends, and work in the area and has family/friends). Inputting into Citizen Space only allowed the selection of one so in these instances the main reason selected was living in the area and working in the area.
The highest proportion of respondents were aged 55-64 (23%, n=13) and the lowest aged 16-24 at 9% (n=5). The sample is also predominantly female (67%, n=38). The majority of respondents stated they had no contact with the police in the last 6 months (82%, n=47).
