Special Eurobarometer 128: Europeans and violence against children

This opinion poll was conducted at the request of the Secretariat-General of the European Commission. It was managed and organised it by the Public Opinion Analysis Unit of DG X ("Information, Communication, Culture and Audio-visual Media").
The data was collected from all Member States of the European Union between 12 March and 4 May 1999. INRA (EUROPE) - European Coordination Office, in Brussels, was responsible for general coordination.
The report examines what Europeans think about issues relating to violence against children. It is divided into a number of sections which examine how much Europeans know about the matter, what sources of information they are aware of, who they think most likely to inflict this type of violence, what actually constitutes violence against children, how widespread they imagine it to be, what factors they think cause it, which organisations should help the children affected, what they know about the laws on a number of related issues, how useful they think various approaches are to combating domestic violence and whether the European Union has a part to play.

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:

• Volume A: Countries
• Volume AA: Groups of countries
• Volume A' (AP): Trends
• Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
• Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
• Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
• Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
