There will be no restrictions on the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondent; HKU membership as a student or staff is the main consideration, as a result of logistical constraints on the part of the researcher. Secondary data public records on the kind of crimes, both major and minor, that are frequently occurring in the area where the respondents reside (assuming all respondents live within or near the HKU campus). This secondary data will also be analyzed to give more meaning and provide the proper context in the interpretation of the data results.

Sampling Method

Probability (random) sampling will be the sampling technique of the study, wherein respondents will be chosen randomly from an official list of residents (who are also HKU staff and/or students) living in or nearby the HKU campus. An equal split between male and female respondents shall be determined, each with a sample size of n=30, which is the smallest statistically acceptable number for sample sizes in survey researches. Thus, the total sample size is N=60, divided into male and female groups, with n=30 respondents each.
