Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">Heads of household have to complete sections 13, 14, and 15</span></p>

<p><span class="h3">Section 13 - Crime</span></p>

<p>Data with respect to reported crime are accessible from the Police Reports made available to the CSO. However, in Trinidad and Tobago there is some level of unreported crime.</p>

<p>This section will facilitate the capture of benchmark data for subsequent studies of crime related issues in households. The data will assist towards assessment of changes in the pattern and incidence of crime. For census purposes, the areas of concern are whether the household had been a victim of crime, the nature of the crime, and whether the crime was reported or not.</p>

<p>Identification</p>

<p>You are to complete the required information for the identification of the household being enumerated which must tally with the visitation record and the cover page of the questionnaire.</p>

<p>It is not necessary to burden the respondent with questions repeated here for which you have already obtained responses during the early part of the interview. For example, the name of the head of the household and the respondent should already have been determined.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 45(a) - Nature of crime </span><div class="i1">1. Crime against the person <br />2. Crime against property<br />3. Other</div><p>Please indicate yes, no, or not stated to the relevant response. More than one response can be ticked.
