Considering that all of the 10 respondents were in the age category of 16 to 19 this narrowed it down nicely in terms of research to be able to understand a particular age category as opposed to having to research and find out the opinions of even younger teenagers for example 13-15 year olds. However, when asking the respondents if they would recommend Banstead for it's community and or shopping facilities. The responses were mixed as 50% of the candidates had said yes and the other 50% had stated no. This suggests to me that teenagers in Banstead do feel that there isn't enough things to do, this allows me to know that I will need to take a deeper look into what this results to.

The purpose of this question was to find out the candidates favourite shop to understand exactly what Banstead offers teenagers. Almost every candidate suggested something different, the most popular of favourite shops would be Boots. This just shows me that Banstead doesn't really offer shops in which teenagers can freely relax rather it's just shops to purchase goods and with teenagers if some maybe not all will not have sufficient funds to buy certain products which could deter them to stealing. This furthers my research in the way that due to boredom this could result into crime being committed.

With the information in which I was able to gather from this it clearly shows that due to there being hardly any activities or events going on in Banstead it's not a place where teenagers would want to go to socialise. As shown above 50% of the candidates had stated that they don't go to Banstead at all for the ability to socialise. Although 40% had stated that they would maybe go 1 to 3 times a week but this could be deterred as to socialising in drug related uses. Lastly, 10% stated they went 4 or more times. With this information I will it is relevant in stating that are teenagers just going to Banstead to socialise, to steal or even consumer drugs together.

The purpose of gathering information on this topics was purely to the fact that was the people they were hanging around with older, could they set a bad example etc. A majority had stated that they were hanging out with 15-20 year olds, I feel to some respect that knowing this information will help with my documentary as it would be relevant that if you're hanging out with the wrong crowd they could be bad role models, or even pressure teenagers into stealing or even consuming drugs out of boredom in the Banstead area offering minimal activities.

This question was to just state the obvious in understanding that teenagers are aware that there are hardly any activities in which teenagers can take advantage of within the Banstead Area. 70% of candidates had stated that they think Banstead offers practically no opportunities for them to socialise. Unless they want to go to the park but this would get boring after a couple of days. 30% of the candidates said that Banstead offered opportunities however, Banstead offers shops but no specific locations purely for teenagers, such as clubs, or any activities overall.

Question 6: Why did you choose yes or no?

Because there is never anything to do

There is plenty of opportunities as there are plenty of small businesses in Banstead where you will be able to get a job.

3/10/2016 1:42 PM View respondent's answers

The reason being that Banstead seems suitable more towards the elderly.

The banstead community is my opinion is more seen to be used by the elderly

I believe Banstead to be aimed towards the elderly rather than teenagers.

This question relates back to Question 5 in terms of why they chose yes or no. One candidate had stated why they suggested yes and this was because "There are plenty of opportunities as there are plenty of small businesses in Banstead where you will be able to get a job" with this response I felt it's relevant to a level, but it's not something to socialise with friends. An example of a candidate stating no would be "The reason being that Banstead seems suitable more towards the elderly". I felt that this is true as there is practically nothing for teenagers to do and the fact that Banstead has a shop which is fashioned for Tea & Crumpets this just shows Banstead focusing more shops and locations to socialise towards the older generations rather than the younger.

The overall purpose of asking this question was to understand whether teenagers in the Banstead area had any career aspirations. 40% of candidates had stated "N/a" which showed that they hadn't a clue also 10% said "they hadn't thought about it". I felt that this showed that due to no social activities in the banstead area teenagers aren't communicating as much with each other and discussing their future rather they are just resorting to either theft or drug abuse. However 20% of candidates stated they would like to work in Forensics and 10% stated Health and Beauty. This shows that some teenagers do have to some extent the knowledge in which they want to take up in the future.

As 100% of candidates had stated that they hadn't resorted to crime in Banstead I feel this information is unreliable as candidates most probably felt they couldn't own up to any crime in which they may or may not have committed, but with this information I felt that it still is relevant as it shows to me that something must be happening in the area.
