Research Project
Man, I know that I am extremely behind on my research project!!! But, that is only because I am having a hard time narrowing it down. I was going along the lines of youth violence and I wanted to narrow it down to minorities in small cities. Like South Bend, but it is not working. So I think I am just going to change my topic. But, I will keep you guys posted!!!!!!

Aww you guys give up so easily. There are no difficult topics just difficult decisions.
There is an abundance of information on Youth Violence in Small Towns (Rural areas) For example this is the abstract for one such article titled
"SOCIAL DISORGANIZATION OUTSIDE THE METROPOLIS: AN ANALYSIS OF RURAL YOUTH VIOLENCE":
Abstract:
"In order to extend the study of community social disorganization and crime beyond its exclusive focus on large urban centers, we present an analysis of structural correlates of arrest rates for juvenile violence in 264 nonmetropolitan counties of four states. Findings support the generality of social disorganization theory: Juvenile violence was associated with rates of residential instability, family disruption, and ethnic heterogeneity. Though rates of poverty were not related to juvenile violence, this is also in accord with social disorganization theory because, unlike urban settings, poverty was negatively related to residential instability. Rates of juvenile violence varied markedly with population size through a curvilinear relationship in which counties with the smallest juvenile populations had exceptionally low arrest rates. "
Hi Tarrez!
Lots of information is available...don't give in to fatigue and the feeling of discouragement in completing your project. I am here to help!
