Requests for participation in research and surveys - Can you help?
As always the RMC is committed to looking at different aspects that may help to promote the RMB. We have received the following requests:
Fear of Crime and Victimisation Survey
The RMC would like to bring to your attention this request for your assistance for a dissertation on Crime and Victimisation. Georgia would like to thank those that have already participated, however she has not received sufficient replies for her to complete her work. The RMC are therefore asking you to spare some of your time to complete her questionnaire and enable her to progress with her degree studies. Many thanks, The RMC.
This is a request from a University student to assist her study on Crime and its effect on those concerned.
Should you wish to be part of her study the details are as follows;

You as individuals have the experience and knowledge that we believe would be the ideal material for her dissertation. If you would like more information, you can contact Georgia Reay at g.a.m.reay@edu.salford.ac.uk
Research Participant Opportunity
We have received a request from a post graduate at Manchester University to interview former prison officers on the following subject:
Working To Identify Support Needs For Prison Officers Working Within Prison Environments
You may contact Joanne Forsyth about this opportunity at joanne.forsyth-2@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk
Thank you for your attention on this matter and we hope there will be a good response from our members.
