Crime and victimisation surveys have been carried out in Scotland since the early 1980s. The current survey was launched in April 2008 as the Scottish Crime and Justice Survey ( SCJS) and represents a major shift in design and methodology from previous surveys, principally involving a large increase in sample size and a move to continuous interviewing using a rolling reference period for the victimisation module. As a result, care should be taken if comparing the results from the SCJS with sweeps from previous Scottish crime surveys. The increase in sample size enhances the statistical reliability of the estimates produced by the survey. The SCJS 2009/10 provides a complementary measure of crime compared with police recorded crime statistics. The survey provides information on the criminal justice system and on adults' experience of civil law problems and their perceptions and experience of crime. It also provides estimates of progress for two of the 45 national indicators in the Scottish Government's National performance framework. At the same time, the SCJS does not aim to provide an absolute count of crime and has notable exclusions. As with any survey, the results can only represent the experience of the adults in the sample who take part and the results, like the results of other sample-based surveys, are subject to sampling error. In spite of these limitations the results of the SCJS 2009/10 provide the best available indicator of rates of adult victimisation in Scotland. This report presents the initial findings from the SCJS 2009/10. It includes estimates for the majority of questions contained in the survey questionnaire and some simple one-to-one relationships between survey variables. The report does not include in-depth, multivariate statistical analysis that would explore the more complex underlying relationships within the data.
