National Security Survey

The National Security Survey is a nationwide survey used to monitor the security situation of citizens and changes in it. The survey contains questions on becoming a victim of crimes, experienced safety and criminality in Finland.  The survey is conducted by Statistics Finland and the Finnish Institute of Criminology and Legal Policy, which operates in connection with the University of Helsinki. The institute's statutory task is to conduct research into crime and legal conditions and to monitor and analyse the characteristics and development of crime.

Respond to the inquiry

This inquiry is closed.

The persons selected to the survey will receive a letter by post asking them to take part in the survey on a web form. The letter contains instructions for responding on the web form and a personal Identifier, which is used to respond on the form. The paper questionnaire is sent later to those respondents who prefer to respond to the postal inquiry.

It will take approximately fifteen minutes to respond. 

It is very important that each person selected for the survey participates, as no respondent can be replaced with another respondent. Your response is very important for the success of the study, even if you have no experience of the phenomena.

Further information about the survey and a link to the questionnaire is available at: National Security Survey
