When the second Islington Crime Survey was conducted in 1988, a subset of 889 persons was asked a series of questions regarding commercial crime, and 454 persons, a subset of the 889, were asked their view on the public's right to know about various activities that put their health and safety at risk. Questions addressed workplace safety, unlawful trading practices, and the victimization of housing tenants. Respondents had a work accident rate per 100,000 nearly 30 times the national average. This may be because a high percentage of respondents work in the garment trade or in construction. Seventy-nine percent of the sample agreed strongly that the public has a right to know all information about health and safety violations by individual companies. Complaints of consumer victimization were common among respondents, but only five of the respondents consulted the consumer protection service. The survey also addressed crime in general and other social problems. Multiple victimization of all kinds was experienced by respondents. Among the offenses and social problems reported were street crime, sexual harassment, poor housing, unemployment, and environmental degradation. 22 tables, 50-item bibliography, and appended tabular data.
