Method: Brå NTU table collection 2007–2025, table 4A:1: share aged 16–84 who feel fairly or very unsafe, or who refrain from going out, late in the evening in their own neighbourhood because of feeling unsafe (those who never go out for other reasons are excluded). Feeling unsafe refers to perception at the time of response. Method break: 2007–2016 have been recalculated by Brå because the survey then used another method (Brå 2019:2); levels before and after the change should be compared with caution.
