Following a Fundamental Review of the Scottish Crime Survey in 2003, the Scottish Executive substantially revised the methods used to estimate victimisation in Scotland. The new Scottish Crime and victimisation Survey (SCVS) was established with a substantially increased sample (up to 27,000 annually from 5,000 every three to four years), continuous fieldwork and a switch to data collection by telephone. As part of a calibration exercise comparing the previous and newly designed methodologies, MORI Scotland and TNS Social were jointly commissioned to undertake a face-to-face survey involving 3,000 interviews that repeated the data collection from previous sweeps of the Scottish Crime Survey (SCS). This report presents the main findings of that survey related to victimisation and respondents’ perceptions of crime and other related issues.

This report presents findings from a self-completion questionnaire on drug misuse which was administered as part of the 2004 Scottish Crime and Victimisation Survey. The SCVS focuses primarily on experiences of personal and household crime, and is designed to provide a measure of crime complementary to police recorded crime statistics. However, there is an additional self-completion questionnaire which asks adults about their misuse of drugs. The self-completion module has been a feature of the SCVS since 1993 and has remained largely unchanged - enabling a comparison of trends over time.

Prevention work can have a primary or a secondary focus, the first aiming to stop abuse before it happens by changing attitudes which excuse or condone it, the second aiming to reduce its incidence and effects. Both are important and require to be undertaken, but primary prevention is at the core of any Prevention Strategy. All prevention work should flow from an analysis which reflects the gendered nature of domestic abuse, and the links between all forms of men's violence against women, as expressed in the National Strategy to Address Domestic Abuse in Scotland. Many partners will be required to work together to implement a Prevention Strategy, both locally and nationally. There is already a considerable body of work underway, and Prevention Strategies fit closely with that work. Key elements of the Prevention Strategy are: public awareness raising; education; services for women and children; work with men who use violence; legislation and workplace strategies. Evaluation and monitoring is also a key component and methods used should ensure that the views of women and children who have experienced abuse are taken into account.

Since 1998, government-led annual advertising campaigns have been conducted to strengthen the view that domestic abuse is totally unacceptable, using the strapline ‘Domestic Abuse: there’s no excuse’. The main objective of the latest phase of the campaign was to raise awareness of the impact of psychological domestic abuse, to communicate the harm that domestic abuse causes and promote the national domestic abuse helpline and web address. Fieldwork took place after the advertising campaign, between 25 January and 1 February 2007 and 1,008 interviews were achieved in 42 constituencies throughout Scotland. With recognition that there has been no improvement in content recall of the TV commercial from the previous year, it seems likely that an increased media spend behind the campaign would be beneficial. This would allow a more sustained media approach.
