Exit Survey
 
 
You are invited to participate in this research. The purpose of this survey is to investigate public perceptions of terrorism; what these perceptions are influenced by and level of concern for terror attacks. I am a third year Criminology student at the University of Winchester conducting this research for my dissertation.
Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any time and may do so without any penalty. All responses will be permanently anonymous and will be strictly used for, unpublished, academic purposes. All the information you provide will remain confidential. The procedure will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

 Thank you very much for your time and participation, Andrew Scullin.
