Background
Over the last few years, there have been a lot of reports in the news about rising crime, particularly involving young people. Some high profile murders of students, particularly the killing of two French research studentsin 2009, and the increasing number of international students in higher education in the UK, have highlighted this issue more recently. Many students who come to the UK are living away from home for the first time, and as a result may be quite vulnerable when they find themselves in a strange city with no friends or family. It would be useful to find out to what extent students are aware of safety concerns when they come to London Metropolitan University, and to compare how safe they feel in London compared to in their own country.
Aims
The purpose of this report is to find out what London Metropolitan pre-sessional students think about the level of crime in London, whether they feel safe in the areas where they live, if they have been victims of crime here and how London compares to their own city or town in terms of safety.
