This report presents a quantitative analysis of the relationship between public trust in the police and crime perception, focusing on the impact of vandalism and criminal damage on the quality of life. The study utilizes a dataset with nine variables, employing SPSS for statistical analysis. The methodology includes variable filtering, recoding, and various inferential analyses such as independent sample t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square tests, and correlation to examine relationships between variables like confidence in police effectiveness, the effect of vandalism, marital status, contact with police, and age. The findings reveal that while vandalism has a negative impact on quality of life, confidence in police effectiveness is not directly related to it. Significant differences in police trust were noted based on marital status, and a statistically significant relationship between contact with police and satisfaction levels was found. The analysis also highlights a correlation between age and the perceived intensity of vandalism. The report concludes by summarizing the key findings, emphasizing the nuanced relationship between trust in police, crime perception, and societal well-being.
