Some 32 percent of Londoners said they were victims of theft during 2008-09. The survey was conducted by a consortium including Gallup Europe, the United Nations Inter-Regional Criminal Justice Research Institute and Max Planck Institute. "London leads the dubious list," Robert Manchin, head of Gallup's Brussels office, told a press conference. The survey compared levels of victimization across the EU and measures how citizens feel about their security and safety. It found that about 30 percent of citizens in 18 EU countries are afraid of burglary and do not feel safe on streets. Amsterdam, Dublin, Belfast and Copenhagen followed London inincidents of what the survey called "common crimes" such as burglary, car theft and offensive behavior. Sexual crimes were the highest in Germany while France had the highest number of "hate crimes." M/D
