The survey was first of its kind in Finland. It formed part of the comparative Nordic Draftee Research Programme conducted in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, coordinated by the Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology (Nordiska Samarbetsrådet för Kriminologi). The data have been manually coded from the original questionnaires in the National Research Institute of Legal Policy in 2005. The survey investigated the respondents' motor vehicle use and whether they had been driving while intoxicated. Regarding theft, the respondents were asked whether they had been victims of theft and if so whether they had told the police, and whether they themselves had participated in theft, particularly theft of motor vehicles or bicycles or theft from vehicles. Further questions covered experiences of joyriding and what had happened to the stolen vehicles (were the vehicles kept, sold, destroyed, returned). Theft from workplace, shoplifting, age when the shoplifting occurred, theft of ashtrays or such from cafes/restaurants, and participation in other types of theft were charted. The survey studied burglary by asking whether the respondents had unlawfully entered any property, which method was used for entry and what age the respondent had been at the time. Receiving, buying or selling stolen goods were charted. Regarding robbery, the respondents were asked whether they had been the victims of theft involving use or threat of violence, whether they had informed the police of this and whether they themselves had taken something from someone by using or threatening with violence. They were also asked whether they had left restaurants or hotels without paying. Regarding alcohol-related offences and their punishments, the respondents were asked whether they had participated in smuggling or illicit preparation of alcoholic substances, buying illicit alcoholic substances, or disorderly conduct while intoxicated. They were also asked whether they had had dealings with the police and other authorities because of intoxication and other offences committed, and what kind of punishment they had received. Opinions on the severity of Finnish punishments were charted as well as whether the respondents had deliberately damaged road signs or streetlights. One theme covered the respondents' knowledge of the legal age of consent and whether the respondents thought they had had sex with an underage girl and if so, what had her age been. Background variables included the language of the questionnaire (Finnish or Swedish), location of the call-up, the respondent's year of birth, education, municipality of residence, type of neighbourhood, and father's social class and occupational status.

The target group for the survey is the population of Norway aged 18 years and older. A total of 5 472 interviews were conducted in 2016.

The survey examines experiences of hate speech, hate crime and (everyday) discrimination among people with disabilities. Topics covered in the survey include characteristics (e.g. location, form/expression, who is behind it) and consequences of such experiences/incidents, and barriers to seeking help or reporting hate speech and hate crime to the police. The research institutes Fafo and the Norwegian Social Research NOVA at OsloMet carried out the project on behalf of The Norwegian Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs (Bufdir).

The research literature on hate crime, hate speech, harassment, violence and abuse often focuses on such offenses individually and thus rarely provides an overall picture of vulnerability. The purpose of the report is to look at harassment, hate speech and hate crime, and other violations suffered by people with disabilities, in context. The report is based on a review of previous research, data from the National Safety Survey 2022 and a survey aimed at members of disability organizations (hereinafter referred to as the organization survey). In addition, we have conducted expert interviews and discussed the material with a reference panel.
