Exploring the Impact of Anti-Social Behaviour, Drug-Related Crime and County Lines on Local Communities: A Qualitative Inquiry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This qualitative research project explores the impact of Drug-Related Crime, Anti-Social Behaviour, and County Lines on local communities. The study aimed to elicit perceptions, views and insight of this impact from local community members. Data for the inquiry was collected by conducting semi-structured qualitative interviews with key informants chosen from local communities. The findings show that Anti-Social Behaviour has had a significant impact on the local communities chosen for the inquiry. In contrast the findings were indicative that the impact of Drug -Related Crime to be much less significant. Although open drug dealing had been a cause for concern reports of acquisitive crime normally associated with “problematic drug use” (Gordon et al., 2007) were extremely low. Evidence in the findings suggest that the overall impact of County Lines within the communities has led to certain amount of resentment and even hostility from local gangs. Included in the conclusion are suggestions for future exploration and research based on the findings of this inquiry.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
