We recently completed the initial analysis of the 2010 Minnesota Crime Victim Survey and presented them at the United Against Violence Summit. The Crime Victim Survey is the result of a partnership between Greater Twin Cities United Way and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Justice Programs. This is the second time we’ve done the survey (the first was in 2007). Data was collected January-April of 2011, asking about experiences with crime in 2010. Using a mail survey methodology with a random sample of residents throughout Minnesota, we obtained a response rate of 60% (which is excellent for a mail survey and represents more than 6,000 completed surveys).
