Neighborhood Friendship Networks And Fear Of Crime, Mandy Palmiter
Neighborhood Friendship Networks And Fear Of Crime, Mandy Palmiter
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
This research project addresses the relationship between fear of crime and neighborhood friendship networks, and provides an examination of fear of crime models. The data used were collected using both questionnaires and interviews in a 1988 survey of residents of Nashville, Tennessee. Crosstabulation tables and correlation analyses are presented with results showing a significant relationship between some measures of neighborhood friendship networks and fear of crime. Results also indicate that relationships exist between environmental conditions, previous victimization, personal characteristics, and fear of crime. The possible reasons for these relationships are discussed.

Violence-Prevention Education For The Primary Classroom, Carrie Shaw
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
This holistic curriculum addresses the many realms in which violence affects children: cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral. A violence prevention thematic unit containing lesson plans, performance tasks, and learning centers has been built around six research-based interlocking components: understanding violence, identifying and expressing emotions, valuing peace, feeling a sense of community, being safe, and resolving conflicts nonviolently. The goal is that through beginning to teach practical violence prevention skills in these six areas in the primary grades (K-3), children will learn how to handle their aggressions and resolve conflicts without the use of violence.

Because of the relationship between speech and language delays and reading difficulties, speech-language pathologists should be encouraged to include elements of reading in their therapy with preschoolers. By using such activities, speech-language pathologists should observe an increase in the language and speech abilities of their clients, regardless of the children's present abilities. Reading can be included in the context of therapy in various ways, but the most efficient way is to design thematic units with correlated prereading and postreading activities.
