An ANR Project Led by CESDIP and CDSP

The Centre for Sociological Research on Law and Penal Institutions (CESDIP) and the CDSP have joined forces for an unprecedented survey project: Longitudinal Analysis of Crime and Insecurity (LANACI), selected under the French National Research Agency’s (ANR) 2024 generic call.

This project aims to explore long-term trends in fear of crime, concerns about public safety, and experiences of victimization, through a longitudinal survey conducted with the ELIPSS panel. The objectives are twofold: to examine the causal mechanisms behind fear of crime, perceptions of insecurity, and victimization, and their evolution over time; to analyze the social and demographic factors that shape these perceptions and their relation to broader aspects of social life (politics, education, health, work, social attitudes and behaviors, etc.).

Antoine Jardin, scientific coordinator for CESDIP, and Emmanuelle Duwez, coordinator for CDSP, are pooling the expertise of the teams from the Scientific Observatory on Crime and Justice (OSCJ) and ELIPSS to implement and analyze this five-wave survey project scheduled between 2025 and 2029.

First LANACI Wave Now Available

In March 2025, nearly 1,800 individuals responded to the first LANACI survey wave. The unique dataset produced is now publicly available to the research community via the CDSP Data Bank.

This dataset complements the growing collection of crime and security-related surveys produced by the CDSP, following on from the Political Sociology of Insecurity during the 2022 Presidential Elections (SPIP) project — a four-wave survey developed through a strong CESDIP–CDSP collaboration.
