The first question that i asked my volunteers was “Do you know anyone under the age of 18 with a criminal conviction? 60% said yes. This is effective because over half of the teenagers in Banstead i asked said yes, I concluded from this that many people around the area of Banstead have a criminal conviction. This is useful for the documentary because you do not connect Banstead and young offenders together.
The second question I asked my audience was “Have you ever been arrested?” 30% answered yes that's a very high percentage due to the fact all of my audience said they were under 18. The third question ties in with this question because it asks weather or not getting arrested led to a criminal conviction. Out of the 3 people that said yes 2 of them said it lead to a criminal conviction. This is effective because this data supports the idea of the rising youth crime statistic. This is useful for the documentary because it shows that the future of Banstead may be a crime led one.
The fourth question I asked my audience was “Have you ever taken any drugs?” 50% of my audience answered yes. This data is useful because over 40% of the people who answered yes also said yes to being arrested. This links crime and drugs together. This is useful for the documentary because it supports the theory of drug abuse rising with teenagers in the UK.
The fifth question I asked my audience was “Do you think that video games have anything to with the rising youth offending statistic?” Only 30% of my audience said yes this is surprising because i thought it would be higher. The sixth question I asked was "If you were offered drugs for free at a party, would you take them?" 70% of my audience answered yes to this question. This is effective because 100% of them answered yes to taking drugs previously. This supports the idea that teenagers become addicted to drugs after taking them once.
The seventh question I asked is "Would you consider Banstead a crime hot spot?" Over 80% of the people said no. This is effective because it contradicts the idea that the youth crime is rising in the UK. The final question I asked was would you be willing to conduct an interview. 100% said no, this effects me because I still have to look for an interviewee
