ABOUT CRIME CHANNEL
What do Americans think about crime, its causes and consequences? What are their perceptions of the workings of the entire criminal justice system? What can be done to strengthen justice and the professionalism of law enforcement?
The 2024 CrimeChannel.org annual national survey is based on a representative sample of 2,000 American adults. It provides an important public opinion benchmark that can be used for years to come. Follow-up surveys in the future will measure changes in public opinion, to identify trends and emerging issues.
America needs to understand the crime problem and how it fits into national priorities at the federal, state and local levels. The CrimeChannel.org national survey is made public to enhance available information for legislators, government executives, police chiefs, district attorneys, judges, academics and average citizens.
