Department of Justice: Northern Ireland Policing Board Title: Evaluation of Neighbourhood Watch: Final report Summary: The Neighbourhood Watch Steering Group consisting of Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), Northern Ireland Policing Board (NIPB) and Community Safety Unit, Department of Justice (CSU, DOJ), commissioned Perceptive Insight to conduct qualitative research with residents of Neighbourhood Watch Schemes. This work was undertaken alongside quantitative surveys, conducted by the Policing Board’s statisticians who are on long-term loan from the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA), to obtain the views of residents, co-ordinators and other stakeholders. A further study was conducted by Dr. John Topping , University of Ulster to map Neighbourhood Watch Schemes across Northern Ireland1. The aim of the research was to assess the views and experiences of residents on the impact and effectiveness of Neighbourhood Watch in relation to the following areas: Reducing crime, the fear of crime and antisocial behaviour; Assisting the local police in detecting crime; Enhancing the relationship between the police and the community and other partner agencies; Promoting community spirit; and How Neighbourhood Watch in Northern Ireland should be developed. The qualitative research consisted of a total of eight focus group discussions with residents and co-ordinators of Neighbourhood Watch schemes. Three in-depth interviews were conducted with each of the organisations responsible for managing Neighbourhood Watch. Overall 1,561 households were included in the sample for the residents’ survey of which 309 residents responded (20% response rate). In addition a second survey was conducted with scheme co-ordinators from which we received 289 responses and stakeholders including NPT (90), DPP (21) and CSP managers (20) from which we received 139 responses (this included 8 who did not provide details of their role). A total of 428 stakeholders and co-ordinators completed the survey. Details: Belfast: Department of Justice, 2012. 78p.
