Exploring residential burglary and home-security in Yorkshire.

1. Information and Consent

 

Information

 

Hello. I am a Postgraduate student at Durham University who is looking to recruit participants aged 18+ who live in Yorkshire for my dissertation. This project aims to explore what home-security measures residents of Yorkshire have or would like to have, and their opinions of residential burglary overall. You will be asked to complete a questionnaire which includes both multiple choice questions and ones which allow you to answer in your own words. The questionnaire should take you no more than 15 minutes. Your participation in this study is entirely voluntary. You can withdraw or refuse to answer any question at any point during the questionnaire. However, once you have pressed ‘submit’ at the end of the questionnaire there will no longer be the opportunity to withdraw your data as your answers will not be able to be identified. You will be entirely anonymous to the researcher throughout this study as this form will not collect any information which could identify you.

 

If anything in this information sheet is not clear or you wish to ask any questions, please contact me (Lia) at xpzk34@durham.ac.uk


If you have any concerns  about the conduct of this project, please contact the project supervisor Dr Kate Tudor at kate.tudor@durham.ac.uk
