This is to announce the commencement of the 2012 National Crime And safety Victimization Survey. The annual Crime and Safety Survey is a research that CLEEN Foundation has conducted since 2004. The national surveys have interviewed at least 11,000 people all over the country each year, asking people about their experiences of crime, perceptions on governance, road safety, human rights and other related issues. The results of the survey are usually disseminated through the media and through publications that critically analyse the generated data. We believe that we are through this survey, contributing to the existing body of knowledge on crime and safety levels in Nigeria, which would help the leadership of relevant security and safety agencies in policy formation and effective deployment of their scarce human and material resources.

This year, we are going to interview 11,418 people nationwide. To achieve such sample size, the CLEEN Foundation sub-contracted a research organization known as Practical Sampling International PSI, based in Lagos state, with affiliations all over the country. The PSI engages field researchers in all the 36 state including Abuja to administers the questionnaires

Briefings for Field work ended today for Lagos state while Briefing for other States begins on the 3rd of April and ends on the 4th of April. Field work and Quality control begins in earnest across all location on the 5th of April.

The Organizing Team Lagos that is Lead by Dr Eban would be happy to receive good suggestions in areas that need improvement.

Once again  Thank you all.
