The community will be explored as will some selected institutions such as hospitals, doctors, schools and nurseries focusing on the education system alongside crime rates, gaps in the health care services and discussing the local authorities. Using the census and reliable statistics. In addition to the above an organisation located in Banbury shall be examined and investigated, looking into what the organisation is all about, how they operate and key themes which occur within the organisation. Also covering the context of the organisation, any issues of concern, organisational structure and service users. This will be achieved through research and an interview with a member of staff.
Introduction to Banbury
Banbury will be the location discussed due to Oxfordshire as a whole being too big and therefore too diverse. Banbury is a small town in Oxfordshire, known for having the world's largest coffee-processing factory. Banbury is ever changing and is home to a wide variety of people whose cultures and beliefs are expressed and celebrated throughout the community. Tourist attractions such as The Banbury Cross, Banbury Museum, Spiceball Park and The Castle Quay Shopping Centre are all located in the centre of Banbury.
Banbury is just 2 miles south of the Midlands boarder however, there are ongoing debates if Banbury is part of the Midlands in fact or the South East. The local papers The Banbury Cake and The Banbury Guardian keep the residents of Banbury in the know and up to date with everything Banbury.

The most common crimes include anti social behaviour, violent crime, criminal damage and arson, public disorder and weapons, violence and sexual offences and shoplifting.
The increases between 2011-2013 could be for one of two reasons the first of which that Banbury has become more crime base and more crimes are being committed or that more people are coming forward and reporting crime. This could be due to the community binding together and with more support victims are reporting crimes. Crimes often bring communities together in order to find justice and help victims This may also cause social exclusion as people may not wish to socialise with criminals. Exclusion can leading to criminals re-offending.
Community is defined as a group a people living in an area under the same conditions. Realistically, a community is so much more than this definition. It is people and their different beliefs that form a community. In the town of Milagro, Amarante Cordova, Ruby Archuleta, and a town coming together to rescue a fellow community member from jail exemplify the true spirit of what community is.

Community is like a Venn diagram. It is all about relations between a finite group of people or things. People have their own circles and, sometimes, these circles overlap one another. These interceptions are interests, common attitudes and goals that we share together. These interceptions bond us together as a community, as a Venn diagram. A good community needs good communication where people speak and listen to each other openly and honestly. It needs ti...

In general, official statistics of crime recorded by the police and surveys of the public such as victim surveys and self-report studies are the three main measures of the extent of crime in Britain. The oldest method is to rely on official data collected by criminal justice agencies, such as data on arrests or convictions. The other two rely on social surveys. In one case, individuals are asked if they have been victims of crime; in the other, they are asked to self-report their own criminal activity. (Terence P. Thornberry and Marvin D. Krohn) Although these are a main secondary source of quantitative data, each of them may contain some drawbacks. Thus, this essay will introduce these three methods and demonstrates their disadvantages, such as the police crime statistics exclude the unreported and unrecorded crime;
The 2002 crime figures for England and Wales comprised of two separate reports, brought together for the first time: (i) Crime statistics recorded by constabularies and (ii) The British Crime Survey (BCS), based on 33,000 interviews. The BCS is regarded as a more reliable measure of actual levels of crime because it includes experiences of crime that go unreported. The British crime survey of 2002 revealed:
A community is where a group of people live in the same place and at times share things in common. Today there are different types of communities such as traditional and modern. An example of a traditional community today is an Amish community. There are two types of communities which are discussed in the film The Village. The two types that are seen are Gemeinschaft which is similar to a traditional community and Gesellschaft is similar to a modern community.
Over the years, research has shown an increase in crime is largely over-represented in media coverage, compared to actual crime rates in society. Reports

A community is comprised of a group of goal oriented individuals with similar beliefs and expectations. Currently the term is used interchangeably with society, the town one lives in and even religion. A less shallow interpretation suggests that community embodies a lifestyle unique to its members. Similarities within the group establish bonds along with ideals, values, and strength in numbers unknown to an individual. Ideals and values ultimately impose the culture that the constituents abide by. By becoming part of a community, socialization...
How would someone define the word community? A community could be anything. If one were to listen to an everyday conservation, the word community, would probably be used very little. The word community has multiple meanings, ranging from communist or socialistic society (Emerson) to the quality of appertaining to or being held by all in common (Oxford).
A Community can be defined as a group of people who don’t just live in the same area, but also share the same interests, experiences and often concerns about the area in which they live. Often when individuals have lived on a street or in an area for a while they become familiar with each other and the issues surrounding them. Children often attend the same schools and grow up together, again sharing similar experiences. In some instances adults may work together, and quite commonly all community members will share the same doctors, dentists, hospitals, health visitors and other public services and facilities.
