You have learned how the "weapons effect" impacts aggression (and violence) - especially when the weapon is a gun. Now I would like you to think about other factors that impact upon violence. Here are several factors that are commonly associated with violence:
Poverty, Family, Religion, Exposure to Media Violence, Availability of Weapons, Drug Abuse, Lack of Nurturing Relationships, Racism
Your job is to pick three factors from the list above and describe a research method that can determine how those factors affect levels of violence. Do they act independent of each other? Does one impact upon the other? Can you show causation or merely correlation? Be sure to describe which research method or methods you would use - quantitative, qualitative or both. Explain fully.
