Questionnaires can be used by the criminal justice agency to conduct community surveys. Using questionnaires, the agency can get feedback from the community about police performance in providing public safety. The agency can come up with a series of questions to be answered by the people who would participate in the survey. The questionnaires may consist of both close and open-ended questions. For instance, a close-ended question may ask the public whether the police have been effective in curbing crimes, which would require a yes or no answer. An example of an open-ended question may ask about people’s knowledge and attitude towards community policing, where participants would use their own words to respond. The survey would help the agency to perform a statistical survey, and to collect information about victimization experience for them to employ relevant security measures (Suksamran, Trimek, Jermsittiparsert, & Siriattakul, 2017).
