M/H

• Unfortunately, there are no alternative sources of data at the EU or national level. Police data cannot express perceived security risks and suffer from a lack of common definitions, data collection methodologies and often lack transparency and disaggregation data on specific user groups.
• It could be checked whether other surveys which provide the necessary information have been conducted at urban area/local level. Also, investigate whether national institutes of statistics conducted surveys on the subject.
• It should be evaluated the possibility to develop a local telephone survey to gather the information. If this will not be possible, e.g. unavailability of the necessary resources, take into consideration the possibility to develop an online survey. It would be better to have the data from an online survey instead of not at all, esp. as this is a non-core indicator.
