Security Provision in Southern Lebanon: Surveying Public Opinion (Lebanon AVA Issue Brief 1)

In mid-2008, the Lebanon Armed Violence Assessment (LAVA) undertook the most extensive public survey to date on arms and security issues in Southern Lebanon. The LAVA survey included interviews with some 1,388 households in southern and administrative districts (‘qazas’) under the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) Security Council mandate.

Security Provision in Southern Lebanon: Surveying Public Opinion, the first in a series of Issue Briefs, discusses the key findings emerging from the survey as they relate to public attitudes towards security provision.
