Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The first part of the module measured public knowledge and attitudes about youth crime. It began with questions designed to provide some context within which to locate these attitudes. At the start of the module – before they had become sensitised to the issue – respondents were asked how serious a problem youth crime was, relative to other crime problems. The question was asked in two different ways. Half the respondents were given a show card with a list of five crime problems, and were asked to identify the most serious problem. Providing respondents with response options in a forced choice format has the disadvantage of prejudging the options. There are two risks with this approach. Having been prompted, respondents may support an option that would not have occurred to them unprompted. On the other hand, the questionnaire necessarily limits the range of options open to respondents, and may actually rule out preferred options for some respondents. We therefore asked the other half of the sample to specify the most important crime problem without being provided with options, in an open-ended format. Table 2.1 shows that when participants were provided with response options, no single crime problem was identified by a majority of respondents1. Drug-related crime was the problem identified as the most important by the largest minority (35% of the sample). Crime by sex offenders was identified by just over one quarter of the sample, and terrorist crime by 16%2. Crime by young offenders was the fourth most frequently cited response, accounting for 15% of the sample.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
