Labour Exploitation in Cannabis Farms in Scotland – Survey Introduction

Thank you for taking part in this survey.
The aim of the survey is to map the risk of labour exploitation in cannabis farms in Scotland.

We are interested in anecdotal evidence about this crime, so you don’t need to back up your answer with any data. Getting anecdotal evidence from lots of people in Scotland will help us understand where labour exploitation in cannabis farms is happening across the country.

What You Need to Do

Step 1

Please read over this information and continue to the next page if you feel comfortable.

Step 2

You will be shown pairs of local authorities in Scotland. For each pair, please indicate which ward you believe has a higher number of cannabis farms where labour exploitation is happening.

You will have four options for each comparison:

  1. Select one authority if you think it has a higher number of cannabis farms with labour exploitation.
  2. Select both authorities if you think they have the same number.
  3. Click “Don’t know” if you are unfamiliar with one or both authorities.
  4. Click “Skip” if you prefer not to answer that pair.

After each decision, a new pair will be shown.
It would be helpful if you can make at least 30 comparisons.
A counter at the top of the page will help you keep track.
