The police are planning to introduce a pilot “community relations strategy” in a particular neighborhood and want you to evaluate whether it has an effect on the willingness of citizens to report crimes to the police. There are a number of possible measures at your disposal. Assess the validity of each approach suggested below. Which is the better measure？ Explain it. A. Telephone every household and ask respondents to measure, on a scale of 1 to 10, how willing they are to report particular types of crime to police. Repeat the survey after the scheme has been in operation for six months. B. Compare a list of offenses reported by members of the neighborhood in the six months before the introduction of the scheme with a similar list for the six months after the introduction of the scheme. (It is standard procedure for the police to record the details of the complainant every time a crime is reported to them.)
