Research background
British Social Attitudes (BSA) is conducted annually by the National Centre for Social Research. The department is one of a number of funders of the survey and each year includes a module of questions on fraud. There has never been a publication of results from the fraud and error module.
Contribution to the evidence base
BSA provides unique insight into public attitudes to fraud, particularly how these attitudes have changed over time. Findings are linked to the survey of public perceptions of fraud, error and debt which provides additional insight into public attitudes of fraud and error as well as perceptions of proposed powers to tackle fraud and error.
Research value
Findings from the research will supplement our wider evidence base on public perceptions of fraud, error and debt.
