Community Confidence Action Research – Levenmouth Evaluation Survey 16 and Over
To gain insights into the impact of Police Scotland’s initiatives in Levenmouth 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-Mar 2023).
Hosted on the Scottish Police Authority’s Citizen Space site, the survey contained 16 questions and ran from 13th November 2023 and 27th December 2023. In total 43 responses were received.
The majority of respondents lived in the Levenmouth area (74%, n=32). The highest proportion of respondents were aged 35-44 and 45-54 (both 19%, n=8) and the lowest aged 65+ (9%, n=4). The sample is predominantly female at 63% (n=27), and the majority had contact with police in the six months prior to survey (58%, n=25).
54% (n=23) of respondents were from Ward 22 (Buckhaven, Methil, Methilhill, Wemyss Villages), whilst 44% (n=19) of respondents were from Ward 21 (Leven, Kennoway and Windygates, Lundin Links and Largos). 2% of respondents (n=1) selected ‘Other’.
