The complete questionnaire may be found at our website http://webapp5.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/ISRD/ JDEB 6.

Sometimes it was interpreted as pickpocketing; however, most researchers interpreted this offence as violent. 7. An exception is Aruba: Although Oranjestad has less than 100,000 inhabitants it is included because it is the capital city.
