In my research for project two, I will research the issue of school violence, especially in the US. I would choose some sources in the CSUSB library and through what I learned in class by finding keywords about my topic through trusted websites on Google. For example, violence in schools: search: .org or school violence statistics: search: .gov
· Some sources I choose in the CSUSB library are:
Robinson, Norman. (2019). Effectiveness of Alternative School Interventions in Reducing Incidences of Violence in Schools and Improving Attendance and Graduation Rates. ProQuest LLC, ProQuest LLC, 2019
Chestnut, Natakie. (2016). U.S. Teachers' Perceptions of School Violence Prevention Programs. ProQuest LLC, ProQuest LLC, 2016.
These are resources for me to get more evidence, ideas about reducing school violence and some solutions implemented by the US government, school or family on this issue.
· Some sources I choose on Google are:
Writers, S. (2020, January 29). Keeping Our Students Safe: Preventing Violence in K-12 Schools. Retrieved from https://www.accreditedschoolsonline.org/resources/violence-preven
This source gives me information about the causes of school violence such as emotional problems, anti-social attitudes or social evils such as drugs, tobacco, alcohol. Once I understood the problem that led to this situation, I could then use two sources at the CSUSB library to come up with solutions to the problem.
The NCES Fast Facts Tool provides quick answers to many education questions (National Center for Education Statistics). (n.d.). Retrieved from https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=49
This source gives me very specific and accurate data on the number of school violence cases over the years such as how many people died, dropped out of school or suffered depression due to school assault. Moreover, these figures will help me have a really interesting introduction and attract readers. From there, readers will want to know more about this school violence which a serious problem not to be missed.
