Most Taiwanese satisfied with neighborhood security: surveyStaff writer, with CNAMore than 86 percent of Taiwanese said they are satisfied with the security of their homes and neighborhoods, while 78.72 percent expressed satisfaction with the police’s efforts to maintain wider public order, a survey released yesterday by National Chung Cheng University (CCU) found. The mobile phone survey, conducted by the university's Crime Research Center, found that 86.35 percent of respondents felt safe in their neighborhoods, indicating high public confidence in local security. However, only 48.56 percent rated wider public security as good, a discrepancy that Hsu Hua-fu (許華孚), head of the center, said was due to frequent reporting of crimes in the media.
