Survey on school violence for current public high school students?

I am an undergraduate college student enrolled in a Methods and Statistics of Social Research class and am required to complete an original survey research project. I am requesting your assistance with a research questionnaire.


This questionnaire deals with the subject of violence in schools. You will represent a group of students currently attending public school. I would like to know what you think on a variety of issues regarding the subject of school violence, including opinions on your school’s intervention / prevention methods.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary, and you may choose not to answer any question that you wish. All information you provide will be completely anonymous and kept confidential. Please copy the questionnaire and use the "email me" link to reply with your answers. Thank you again for your help and opinions!
