Narrowing it Down

For my project I will be conducting archival research about how the economy is connected to violent crime rates. In looking for statistics some reliable sources that I might use include the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the Police Executive Research Forum, University publications and the census. After collecting and analyzing the necessary data I will be able to prove or disprove my thesis that the economy is connected to violent crime rates. I will organize my information in a power point presentation and present to the class in January. I am looking forward to finding out more about this topic and hope that my project turns out to be very interesting.

Quarter 2 Presentation Topic

For quarter 2 my Violent Crime presentation will focus on how the recession has effected crime rates. I will be conducting archival research on my topic. Several of my quarter 1 blog posts have had to do with the economy's effect on crime and I am interested in researching further.
