The victimological survey revealed the importance of the place of crime. The greatest number of the respondents were victimised near own home or elsewhere in town. The main reason why people, victims of the analysed crimes, reported to the police, was the wish to recover the property and the offender to be apprehended and punished. Quite a considerable number of the victimised respondents reported not to the police but to some other specialised agency. Assessment of the seriousness of an experienced crime is a subjective matter, but the victimisation experience was regarded as a rather serious event by most of the respondents.
