Consistency
The preferred source of statistics for time series at Scotland level is the Scottish Crime & Justice Survey. Comparisons of results between SSCQ and the SCJS are provided in the SSCQ annual report. By pooling three surveys, SSCQ provides results at sub-national level that are often impossible with a smaller sample.
Timeliness
Results from the SSCQ are generally published a year or more after the conclusion of fieldwork period, and after results from the three constituent surveys are published.
Validity
Not assessed
Accuracy
SSCQ results are published with specific 95% confidence intervals, which account for the varying designs of constituent surveys. Confidence intervals provide a measure of the accuracy of point estimates, and should be considered when quoting statistics from this source. More information is provided in the SSCQ annual report.
