Research Topic:
The communities affect on the violence levels in schools
Research Question:
Does the socio economics and surrounding area of a school have an affect on the violence levels in the schools in that neighborhood?
Research Hypothesis:
Yes the socio economics does have an affect on the schools in the neighborhood. This is because different neighborhoods might have more money and everything will be cleaner. Also in cleaner neighborhoods there are usually a lot of people who are able to prevent some violence from happening. In lower class neighborhoods many of the families do not care what is happening in their neighborhood because it does not personally affect them. In higher class neighborhoods there are usually more activities for children to do. Also there are usually less strange people surrounding the schools. In higher class neighborhoods children feel more safe and that is why Granada Hills Charter High School has a lot less fights compared to other schools.
