Surveying it

I decided to devise a survey to be taken by some teenagers that range in age to get their thoughts on knife crime in the young people and to help me to think about what type of experiment i would have to do.

1. What sex are you?
Male Female

2. How old are you?
10-13 14-17 17-20 21+

3. Do you or anyone you know carry a knife?
Yes No

4. If yes, why do you/they carry a knife?
Protection Peer pressure To look 'hard' For respect Other, please state_______________

5. Do you think the media glamourises knife crime in young people?
Yes No

6. If yes, in what way?
Causes young people to feel the need to carry a knife for protection
'If others are carrying knives, then so should I'
Other, please state__________________

7. Do you think knife crime has increased or decreased in the past 5 years?
Increased Decreased

These are the questions i have thought up so far as a draft, i will possibly add more or work on them a bit
