Cycle 8: collected data from persons 15 years of age and older. The eighth cycle of the GSS marks the first repeat of the GSS core subject on Personal Risk (see GSS 1988 - Cycle 3) related to accidents and criminal victimizations. The following subjects are common to both: perceptions of crime, police and courts; crime prevention precautions; accident and crime screening sections; and accident and crime incident reports. As well, measures of fear of crime and childhood injuries were identified as appropriate additions to the core content. Focus content for Cycle 8 covers alcohol and drug use.
