> Pat Mayhew, David Elliott and Lizanne
> Dowds. 1989. (ISBN 0 11 340965 0)
> This report presents key findings from the third 'sweep' of the British
> Crime Survey, carried out in 1988.  The survey gathered information about
> people's experience of crime from a sample of 10,400 households in England
> and Wales.  It also covered a booster sample of over 1,300 Afro-Carribeans
> and Asians.
> The survey provides a fuller indication than is available from statistics
> recorded by the police of certain types of crime in the country including
> incidents which are neither reported to or recorded by the police.  The
> report discusses the extent of unrecorded crime, the reasons why crimes go
> unreported, and changes in crime since 1981 as measured by the survey and

> report.  Wesley Skogan. 1990 (ISBN 0 11 340995 8)
> This study examines the reasons why people call upon the police and their
> level of satisfaction with the response they receive, as well as looking at
> contacts initiated by the police and at sources of complaints about police
> actions.  The report also examines the public's preparedness to step forward

> No. 118 Control in prisons: a review of the literature
> John Ditchfield. 1990. (ISBN 0 11 340996 6) Between 1969 and 1983 there were
> a number of serious disorders in English prisons which impaired relations
> between staff and inmates and which made the task of governing prisons more
> difficult.  This review was undertaken on those aspects of prison regimes
> that appeared to assist or militate against the maintenance of control.

> in post-war England and Wales
> Simon Field. 1990, (ISBN 11 340994 X) While recorded crime has grown
> substantially since the war, its rate of growth has fluctuated from year to
> year.  The major finding of this research study is that a large part of this
> volatility is attributable to cycles in the national economy. The key factor
> at work appears to be personal consumption growth.  During periods when
> consumption is growing rapidly property crime tends to grow relatively
> slowly or even fall; when consumption growth slows down, so the pace of
> property crime tends to pick up.  However, these are cyclical effects and
> there is no evidence that long run growth of consumption depresses property
> crime.
