“How Great is G.R.E.A.T. (Gang resistance education and training)?: A
Review of the Article Detailing the School-Based Gang Prevention Program
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page overview of the G.R.E.A.T. program and the experimental design of a paper reviewing its effectiveness. G.R.E.A.T. is an in-school program which targets middle school age children in hopes of deterring their interest in joining gangs. Despite the program inconsistencies in design and presentation a national study conducted by researchers at U.S. Department of Justice’s, Crime and Justice Research, declares the study effective. This paper questions that conclusion, identifying numerous problems with the study itself and delineating the circumstances which make the study suspect. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

“The California Cauldron”: A Review of the Problems
Relating to Immigration Which are Facing California
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page review of William A. Clark’s “The California Cauldron”, a book which explores the impacts of recent immigration on California. Clark explores the changes in laws and other factors which have led California to become one of the most demographically evolving regions in the United States. While many of the changes which have been incurred by the state as a whole, there are adverse impacts to this high level of immigration. Californian immigration has, in fact, both social and spatial consequences.

“Three Strikes”: A Review of the Early History of Labor Unrest
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page analysis of the circumstances and meanings presented in the book by Howard Zinn, Dana Frank, and Robin Kelley. Broken into three major sections, each authored by either Zinn, Frank, or Kelley, this book details the bloody Colorado Coal Strike of 1913-1914, the Detroit Woolworth's Strike of 1937, and the New York Musicians Strike of 1936-1937. Although only the Detroit Woolworth Strike was won, these labor strikes will forever memorialize internal labor movement relations of the early half of the twentieth century. The author of this paper contends that the progress made in these strikes are directly applicable to the contemporary working environment as well. No additional sources are listed.
