💨 Abstract

Oxford, known for its university and skyline, is facing challenges with public brawls, drug use, and growing homelessness, especially around Templars Square shopping centre. Recent incidents include over 300 teenagers fighting, fueled by cheap alcohol. Local residents and shoppers report incidents of harassment, drug use, and violence, causing fear and intimidation. Despite measures like section 60 orders and Public Space Protection Orders, the issue persists.
