New guidelines for Interview paper... important that you read and do this

As we get going on this  essay assignment, we have some additional things that we will be doing. 

1. We need to track demographic data about each of your interviewees. Please track gender, age, race and neighborhood in which they live. (For neighborhood, all we need is the cross streets where they live. We dont need their specific address.)

2. For each of your interviewees, you are going to create a Google Form that has this demographic information ALONG WITH their answers to the questions you ask them. You will be sharing the Google Form with me. smcfarland2011@gmail.com 

3. Here are the questions you will be asking.  (There are new questions here in addition to the 5 questions that you answered for Ass. #3. If you already interviewed someone with the 5 questions, please contact them and ask these additional questions.)

• What are three words you would use to describe the feeling of being safe?
• How safe do you feel walking alone in your neighborhood? Why? What about driving or taking public transit? What about shopping?
• Compared to Hayward as a whole, does your neighborhood feel more or less safe? Why? 
• When you have felt unsafe, have you ever reached out to someone from a local government for help, like police, code enforcement, or a school principal? If so, what was the topic(s)? If not, why not?
• Most of the time, we think of safety as relating to violence. What other factors in your life make you feel unsafe or fearful? Examples could include housing, food, healthcare, climate, racism, or isolation.
• We want every community member in Hayward to feel safe in their community. What are the systems at play that we must address for everyone to feel safe?
• What tools and strategies need to be developed for safer policing?
• When you envision a Hayward where everyone feels safe, what does it look like? In your vision, what role does policing play?
• When you think about safety broadly, what solutions should we prioritize first?
