Technical report on the analysis of small groups in the 1999
GSS
Abstract
This study documents the methodological and technical challenges that are
involved in performing analysis on small groups using a sample survey (1999
General Social Survey on Victimization). The discussion addresses issues such
as over-sampling, response rate, non-response rate due to language, release
feasibility and sampling variability.
The study analyses victimization patterns and perceptions of crime in small
groups through a general population crime survey. Aboriginal people, visible
minority and immigrant rates are compared with rates from non-Aboriginal, non-visible
minority and non-immigrant groups to determine whether there are any variations
based on identifiable socio-demographic characteristics. A multivariate analysis
assesses how visible minority, Aboriginal or immigrant identity influences the
risk of victimization and fear, while controlling the effects of other significant
predictors.
