Teens onwards. Male or female. Any skin colour.
Not sure about appearance but possibly trackies, hoodies with the hood up and an 'I'm well 'ard init mate' attitude. People who think it's 'fun' to vandalise peoples property. Stand on street corners drinking cheap cider and hurl abuse at random passers by.

Yeah.
11. What kind of person do you think commits the types of crimes you think are the worst? (E.g. Age, gender, skin colour, etc.
Teens onwards. Possibly male. Any skin colour.
Again, not sure about appearance but maybe hoodie with hood up, same sort of attitude as above. Possibly on drugs and need money so resort to muggings and violence. Try to intimidate people.

Why?
Verbal abuse happens every day and it's easier to ignore than physical abuse. Verbal abuse still be really traumatic, especially if it's regular and contains threats etc... but I think physical abuse is probably worse because it could be serious and leave people seriously injured. Although with physical abuse it might be easier to prevent further abuse with the police as it's really hard to stop and prove verbal abuse has happened - making it harder to prevent?
Okay I'm waffling now, sorry!

15. In December 2008 the Government released statistics claiming that in 9 special areas where emphasis has been placed on tackling knife crime, "The number of teenagers admitted to hospital with knife wounds fell by 27 per cent". Is this information representative of reports you have seen in the media?
Not really.
16. A “moral panic” is a reaction by a group of people based on a false or exaggerated perception that a group or some cultural behavior creates. Using this definition, do you think that the media creates “moral panics”?
Yes [x ]
No [ ]
Why?
Because it only focuses on that group and behaviour and doesn't show the positive things that the group have done. It will focus on all of the bad points and then the whole group tends to fall under the negative stereotype.
17. Your friends invite you to go out and “hang around” after dark. How likely would you be to go with them?
Very likely [ ]
Fairly likely [ ]
Not very likely [x]
Definitely would not go [ ]

Why did you choose this?
I wouldn't show them that I felt intimidated in any way by crossing the road. I'd rather walk straight past. If you show that you're intimidated then you would look weaker and give them the power they think they should have.
21. You are home alone, it is dark and past 9pm and there is a knock at the door, you are not expecting anyone, what do you do?

8. What makes the 3 crimes you selected in the above question worse than the others?
Because those are the only ones that can realistically effect me, I don't have anything really they can rob me of, I don't do drugs and I am legally able to drink the area is pretty popular with drinkers so I wouldn't have to worry so much about knives (because of the bouncers and cops) but because people can't handle their drinks there is usually a lot verbal abuse and drunkard fights going off in the evenings.

I can't honestly answer this as I don't really pay much attention to media reports of crimes. But I guess that while the National average might have fallen it is feasible that the knife incidents in my local area have gone up for all I know.

15.

Is this information representative of reports you have seen in the media?
No. Not at all. Recently I've heard in The Times that police are treating knife crime as more important than terrorism.
16. A “moral panic” is a reaction by a group of people based on a false or exaggerated perception that a group or some cultural behavior creates. Using this definition, do you think that the media creates “moral panics”?
Yes [ ]
No [x]
Why?
The major issue is there is no smoke without fire. Sure, the media does perpetuate this view, that said, they aren't making up news and these are real acts that are happening. The news are solely highlighting it.
That said, I think it also depends on your source of news. Certain papers such as the Daily Mail, The Sun, The Star, and The Daily Mirror could be argued to create a moral panic, whereas others such as The Times and The Guardian don't.
17. Your friends invite you to go out and “hang around” after dark. How likely would you be to go with them?

20. You are walking down the street at midday, there is a group of hooded youths in front of you obstructing the pathway, what do you choose to do?
Keep walking past them [ ]
Cross the road to avoid walking directly past them [x]
Choose a different path so you don’t have to walk past them at all [ ]
Why did you choose this?
To avoid any problems that may arise. Walking directly past them may aggrevate them, and I'm not inclined to totally change my habits due to them and change route entirely.
21. You are home alone, it is dark and past 9pm and there is a knock at the door, you are not expecting anyone, what do you do?
Answer the door [ ]
Look out of a window to see who it is before answering [x]
Don’t answer the door [ ]
Why did you choose this?
Because it could be someone dangerous at the door. Sure, a robber or someone is unlikely to knock, though they may if there is no car outside. Additionally, it may be something urgent and as such it should be checked out.
Hope that helps.

8. What makes the 3 crimes you selected in the above question worse than the others?
Knife crime and Violent attacks, I can imagine are terrifying and I think they would do long term damage (scared of going out again, etc) whereas burglary and theft are what I would consider short term. Drug dealing again, if you get addicted can be long term, plus it can be fatal.
9. What type of person do you think commits the types of crimes you think are most likely to happen to you? (E.g. Age, gender, skin colour, appearance, etc.)
Generally in my area, the type of people that commits these crimes are young, 15 - 25 males, of no specific skin colour. Usually wears hoodies/sportswear, i'm not being sterotypical, but they do to cover their faces I guess.

No, from what i've read in the media knife crime is on the rise?
16. A “moral panic” is a reaction by a group of people based on a false or exaggerated perception that a group or some cultural behavior creates. Using this definition, do you think that the media creates “moral panics”?
Yes [x]

Because the media often focuses on youths who commit crimes rather than adults, therefore it creates the moral panic "Look at Britains youth" "What have we done" "Parents bringing up knifey kids". When it isn't THAT bad.
