• catalog abstract "This survey was conducted by the Center for Urban Affairs at Northwestern University. Its purpose was to gather information for two investigations which analyzed the impact of crime on the lives of city dwellers. These were the Reactions to Crime (RTC) Project which was supported by the United States Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice as part of its Research Agreements Program, and the Rape Project which was supported by the National Center for the Prevention and Control of Rape, a sub-division of the National Institute of Mental Health. Both projects were concerned with individual behavior and collective reactions to crime. The Rape Project was specifically concerned with sexual assault and its consequences for the lives of women. The survey was carried out by the Market Opinion Research Corporation between October and December, 1977, using a telephone interview scheme. Questionnaire preparation and initial pretesting, along with all sampling and telephone number preparation, was conducted at Northwestern University. The three cities selected for study were Chicago, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. A total of ten neighborhoods were chosen from these cities along a number of dimensions--ethnicity, class, crime, and levels of organizational activity. In addition, a small city-wide sample was drawn from each city. General topics covered include how individuals band together to deal with crime problems, individual responses to crime such as property marking or the installation of locks and bars, and the impact of fear of crime on day-to-day behavior, for example, shopping and recreational patterns. Respondents were asked several questions which called for self-reports of behavior. These include questions about events and conditions in their home areas, their relationship to their neighbors, who they know and visit around their homes, and what they watch on TV and read in the newspapers. Also included were a number of questions measuring respondents' perceptions of the extent of crime in their communities, whether they knew someone who had been a victim, and what they had done to reduce their own chances of being victimized.".
